Spencer shot the ball at a very high percentage.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1437537"],"_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":"You could argue that Acuff is having one of the biggest grassroots seasons in the country. And the big time offers are rolling through right in tune. He's been a prolific scorer, but has also shown the ability to play with his head on a swivel and make good decisions and good passes on the move. Acuff has also shot the 3 ball with amazing accuracy, hitting half of his triple attempts in EYBL play.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1588209"],"_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":"Dugener is getting a lot of exposure due to his  play on the Prep Hoops Circuit. He has utilized his grassroots season with Hardwood Midwest with perfection. He was turning heads once again at Havoc In The Heartland.

Yesterday we began our look at some basketball players that stood out over Mother's Day weekend. There were a lot of players competing at a high level, so here's a few more athletes that had prime performances over the weekend.
