Prep Hoops Grit Region Finals: Ramsey’s Friday Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After another great year on the Prep Hoops Circuit, it all culminates this weekend with our Region Finals taking place across the country this weekend. For the Grit Region, featuring the best teams and prospects from around the Midwest, action is taking place between the Pacers Athletic Center, Fishers High School, and Noblesville High School before crowning some champions on Sunday. As we always say, nobody does content and event coverage like Prep Hoops and that will be on full display this weekend. We at Prep Hoops Indiana will have boots on the ground coverage from tip-off until the final buzzer. Let's dive on in and recap what we saw in the gym on Friday by highlighting some of the top individual performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1285254"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bays wasn't Hopson Elite's leading scorer on Friday on their way to earning a spot in the Prep Hoops Grit Region Finals Sweet 16. However, the 6'3u0022 point guard was arguably the engine that ran the offense to their success. He has a tight handle, good size at the position, and is a really smooth athlete. Bays displayed the ability to stop on the dime for pull-up jumpers and played off of two feet at the end of his drives.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1386181"],"_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":"This point guard isn't likely to wow you with his scoring prowess, but the way he contributes to winning should always catch your attention. Cherry did showcase some expansion to his offensive game on Friday evening knocking in a pair of three-point shots in an easy win over NEBC National Elite 2024, but the Kyle Guy Elite Black 2024 point guard also came through with eight assists on the game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1278817"],"_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":"Don't be fooled by the small stature of this playmaking point guard. Gray had it cooking from beyond the arc in INB Elite 2024's morning win over the Macomb County Cougars 2024. He had a stretch of making three nearly consecutive three-pointers that got progressively deeper from beyond the arc. Gray then capped off his own personal run with a crafty drive to the basket.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1433268"],"_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":"An athletic, physical 6'3u0022 wing, Hinton impressed with his ability to get the ball to the basket and finish through contact at the end of his drives.
