<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wednesday December 13th I attended the 6A matchup of the&nbsp;<strong>Hamilton Huskies</strong>&nbsp;traveling to Phoenix to take on the&nbsp;<strong>Brophy Prep Broncos</strong>.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before the varsity tipped off I checked out the junior varsity game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hamilton won 41-37.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here were the JV Standouts:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1768203' first='Adam' last='Slater'] Hamilton (Pictured)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big game for Slater. He is a pure point guard who grew two inches in the last year. He is a good passer and will thread it in. He will drive it with his left hand and has a nice floater game. He will catch and shoot from the three with a nice stroke and is good in the passing lanes plus is aggressive to score on offensive rebound put backs. Stock up!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1768199' first='Bryce' last='Neal'] Hamilton&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A freaky long power forward who defends. He can defend inside and is fluid enough to sprint out to the perimeter shooters. He rebounds and boxes out at a high level. His best skill is he is a top-end shot blocker. He is a fly swatter blocking or altering anything near him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107154' first='Cameron' last='Clayton'] Hamilton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo forward plays with good IQ. He cuts when he should and scores it around the cup. He is a plus rebounder in traffic with two hands and is the glue guy for the Huskies JV.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1768201' first='Paxton' last='Tamlyn'] Hamilton </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring point guard who handles it well and plays on or off the ball. He can catch and shoot from the three point line and he has quick hands on defense to bother his opponents.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2297776' first='Michael' last='Atabala'] Brophy Prep&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their top player of the game was Atabala. He controlled the tempo of the team and scores and facilitates. He is a good up the court passer and will hit the catch three or pull-up from the arc. He often uses ball fakes with his game and will go the basket to score in traffic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2297777' first='Noah' last='Butler'] Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high motored forward is active inside and is the glue guy of the Broncos to rebound and block shots. He hustles for loose balls and he will make an open three. His ability to block shots at his size is impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1768204' first='Luke' last='Larrabee'] Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard is one of the better shooters in the class. The lefty has a strap from the three point line with range and a lightning quick trigger. He seems to get the ball out of his hands before he even looks at the basket. Once this kid fills in, watch out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Colin Goosen 6'3 PF 2026 Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong framed power forward lives inside the paint. He uses his thicker build and girth to rebound and scores it effectively in the paint.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Case Vanden Bosch SF 6'1 2026 Brophy Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A high IQ and tough wing forward. He can throw the dime to a teammate and score on layups or hook shots. He uses his strong upper body to rebound in the paint and runs the court for easy points.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
