St. Charles Tip-Off Classic Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri was in St. Charles for Day 2 of the St. Charles Tip-Off Classic. Here's a look at the top underclassmen standouts from the action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578865' first='Jagger' last='Cornell'] (Rock Bridge)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cornell was making an impact around the rim on both sides of the ball. He had a number of cleanup buckets, pushed tempo, and rebounded. His energy and senior experience showed. The 6'4 do-it-all player is a quick decision maker and has little hesitation in his game. He makes a lot of plays on the defensive end and has active hands. Coach trusts him in a big way and he had a large portion of the minutes share.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2346151' first='Will' last='Priest'] (Rock Bridge)</strong><br>Priest led them in scoring and had a lot of energy in the 2nd half. He was the vocal leader, made tough shots, and leaked out in transition. A sharpshooting 6'6 sophomore that has a nice upside. They run him off a lot of screens and use him in baseline out of bounds situations. A passionate player. His 11 points and numerous rebounds were needed as they pulled away in the 4th quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1571731' first='Eric' last='Shaw'] (Maplewood)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shaw was really good during the first half and added a scoring punch. He plays in attack mode and has great body control. A smooth player in the mid-range/short areas. He has soft touch and plays the game at a high speed, yet off two feet. A tough player, he chips in as a rebounder and stays active in gang rebounding situations. His play style and quick offense fits the makeup of this team like a glove.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582772' first='Chris' last='Ketchum'] (St. Charles)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ketchum was one of the best players in attendance. He's a mature upperclassman who has scoring ability as a bigger wing. His 19 points led the team and he was having a lot of success around the rim. He has a power game and uses his bounce + power to make life easy as a scorer. At 6'5 with next level athletic ability, Ketchum is someone who can help a university next year and beyond.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tanner Dutton (St. Charles)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dutton is the sniper on this team. His ultra quick release and ability to space the floor from the corner position is key. He made four threes on the night en route to 15 points total. He can attack closeouts and get to a more manageable shot as the defense adjusts. A nice compliment to Ketchum. Dutton is a junior who can handle the ball and will be a solid varsity contributor during his time as a Pirate.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
