The senior erupted in Westside-Augusta's thrilling 89-81 overtime victory, dumping in 36 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals as the dog came out. Tillman shined with his outside shot, hitting tough pull-up after tough pull-up from the mid-range while adding in four three-pointers. Tillman made things happen downhill as well, throwing down a one-handed jam that helped Westside get back in the game after trailing 50-39 in the third quarter.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["957139"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"It had to be Hudson. The heart and soul of Westside's juggernaut found a way to battle inside for position to snag an offense rebound and flip in a difficult putback with 14 seconds left to force the game to overtime. Hudson finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals. His toughness and nose for the ball are exemplary. Khalon is a winner that does the dirty work and scores exceptionally well with his mid-range jumper.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1464285"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"McClain was terrific, nearly supplying the dagger when he sank a transition corner three with 36 seconds left to push the Storm ahead by two before Hudson's heroics. Devin posted 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting 7-15 from the field including 5-12 from deep. His growth from primarily an energy slasher into a big-shot maker on the perimeter has been impressive. He's a nice small school prospect.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1364561"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"With 114 threes to his name, Thacker decided to further lengthen his lead in the record books by shooting 7-12 from beyond the arc as he finished with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The sharpshooter never hesitated when he saw a glimmer of space and launched from deep, burning the Patriots time and time again as the Storm went 17-34 from the three-point line. Thacker's pure stroke and breakout season has vaulted him into the discussion as being one of the very best shooters in Georgia.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1201630"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Brown had explosive plays downhill and hit pretty jumpers from the perimeter as he piled in 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in Kell's first state title victory. Brown was hot early on and finished with a flurry, erupting toward the rim. CJ is a tremendous athlete, but it was his jump shot that helped balance his attack, going 7-14 from the field, 1-1 from three and 7-9 from the line. Brown gets major elevation on his shots, making them difficult to challenge. He's a High Major prospect.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["598781"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Mercer is getting a workhorse. [player_tooltip player_id='598781' first='David' last='Thomas'] was great in a 61-53 loss, rallying his troops to seize a six-point third quarter lead after trailing by as many as 14 points. Thomas posted 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. He was locked in off the dribble, getting to his spots in the mid-range. The accurate shooter made things happen at the rim and in transition. When he wasn't looking to score, he was setting up Kenny Brayboy for monstrous alley oop slams.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640b3abc018c7"} /-->
