Hawks Head Coach Rob Mammes had to be happy. The Hawks have a young roster including <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1172574' first='Dru' last='Goldsmith'],</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1998912' first='Justin' last='Maduro']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1998799' first='Jackson' last='Wilber']</strong>. Goldsmith a point guard has the most experience on this roster. He was able to touch the paint and get the ball into the gaps today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2013576,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/D2F9E235-A7DF-4FBD-8CE2-DD7849476EA8.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/D2F9E235-A7DF-4FBD-8CE2-DD7849476EA8.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2013576" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maduro is a very athletic and bouncy forward who really moves quite well around the floor.

Senior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608363' first='Ethen' last='Cobin-Willis']</strong> is best playing as a off guard with his quick release from the behind the three-point line. <strong>Tyrell Gadsden </strong>plays Quarterback on the football team in the fall for the Cougars. Gadsden a point guard really looks to make his teammates happy with is distribution of the basketball. Senior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206212' first='Onarae' last='Grant']</strong> was out of action here today with stomach bug according to the coaching staff. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1183949' first='Michael' last='Jordan']</strong> a left-handed undersized post brings some toughness and determination down in the paint. Jordan will battle and carve out position down low on the block. He really brings a blue-collar attitude to the hardwood with his work ethic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2013568,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/83F98CAF-9D53-4D96-9CE9-96693228BC02.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/83F98CAF-9D53-4D96-9CE9-96693228BC02.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2013568" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578646' first='Marco' last='Simpson']</strong> is a very slender-sleek athlete who is more likely to pick up several deflections in the passing lanes all day long.

Hall was out last season with an injury. Hall just a sophomore showed some good versatility to play wherever needed today. He was able to handle the rock at times today and when needed to defend almost anywhere on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2013575,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/A777A560-313C-4303-83A0-2A6D6C3B33E0.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/A777A560-313C-4303-83A0-2A6D6C3B33E0.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2013575" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leith will be just an 8th grader and a member of the Class of 2028.

Undersized post <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2013259' first='Demarian' last='Mitchell'] </strong>plays tight end on the football field in the fall for the Trojans. Demarian has a nice set of shoulders and good footwork to move around the court. He certainly looks the part for the Class 1A level to be handful at times. Mitchell likes to play face-up and out on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two guards who could see plenty of minutes this season look to be <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2013329' first='Tahj' last='Brown']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2013289' first='Jayden' last='Crawford']</strong>.

Ty has good length and plenty of bounce to go with it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2013257' first='Antonio' last='Kingcade']</strong> really understands how to use a screen and turn the corner at times from the point guard position.
