There were over 100 players at the Expo in Bellevue. I tried to take note of things that each player did well from all teams I watched. The shooters list had shooter listed next to the names. I like shooters, so I usually notice. The first list is the players that took it to the rack. Next to their names are direct notes I got from my notebook. At least those that would make sense. More notes later.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best to the bucket - Downhill players</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1587994' first='Mason' last='St Louis'] - Strong kid - tough in the lane-scores with a variety mid range - Tough guard.
