Wayne is a jet quick water-bug point guard. Harris is quite shifty with the ball in his hands and really likes to work the crossover to the cup. He gets into gaps and touches the paint on a regular basis it seems.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWayne really excels in the open court with burst of speed to the bucket. Harris averaged 17.5 ppg and 3.4 assists this past season for the Highlanders.

Brady really understands on how to use his frame around the basket to carve out space and make buckets happen. Anderson plays the game as a mover-screener at times. He averaged 13.3 ppg and 7.7 rebounds for the Vikings this past season. Anderson scored 9 points in the loss to Elkins HS in the quarterfinals.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1409660"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":1857420,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Burlenski is surely the leader on this young Maroon Knights roster. Quinton has a nice pull-jumper game to go with the ability to score the ball from all different levels. Burlenski came into the State Tourney averaging 19 ppg this season and finished with 18 points in the opening round loss to Bluefield HS.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eQuinton never looks to force his shot and seems to have good shooting mechanics with his follow through.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1851970"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Barr finished with 29 points in the Cee Bees opener vs Webster County HS. Colby was able to finish with his left-hand around the basket at times. He really looked to go to work down low on the block. Barr connected on some short jumpers. He just needs to stay out of foul trouble done the road for the Cee Bees.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1851972"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"McNeely provided a big punch for the Highlanders by scoring 22 points here today.

McNeely dropped a few floaters to the basket today.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1851971"],"_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":"Triplett is a wiry frame small forward for the Highlanders.
