The 5'10 guard embraced contact on either end, grabbing quite a few blocks throughout the event. Another aspect of his positive impact came from his two-way rebounding, proving mobile yet durable against bigger opponents. Given his ability to grab defensive rebounds and tip away passes, Huff was especially active creating scoring opportunities in transition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Drew Abbott - Chatfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abbott was a shifty ball handler going either direction, capable of handling pressure.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2257269' first='Ty' last='Gaddis'] - Longmont</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gaddis was yet another selfless facilitator, complemented by consistent hustle on the offensive side.
