IE Classic: Saturday’s Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RANCHO CUCAMONGA — We were able to make the trip out to Rancho Cucamonga high school for the final three games of the IE Classic Tournament, including a solid third-place matchup between Temecula Valley and Riverside Poly and the highly-anticipated local rivalry game between Etiwanda and Rancho Cucamonga in the championship. Below are the top peformers from those games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1860499' first='Austin' last='Woolfolk'] | 2024 | Riverside Poly</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woolfolk is a glue-type guy who is an active, smart and timely cutter off the ball. His ability to impact the game without having to put it on the deck is the perfect compliment to Riverside Poly's offensive movement and spacing. The 6-foot-1 guard is a great finisher around the basket and is adept at drawing fouls to get to the free throw line. Woolfolk finished with 12 points in the Bears' win over Temecula Valley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2291210' first='Fabian' last='Ruiz'] | 2027 | Temecula Valley</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ruiz was one of the better shooters in the gym Saturday night. The 6-foot-1 freshman has the green light to pull from anywhere and it was easy to see why coach James Profit gives him that freedom. Ruiz connected on four 3-pointers - many of those from well-beyond the high school three-point line - and finished with 14 points in a loss to Riverside Poly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2102469' first='Jaidon' last='Nassar'] | 2024 | Etiwanda</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a game that was offensively-challenged, especially from three-point range, Nassar was the bright spot from deep. The 6-foot-4 wing finished with a team-high 14 points, including four triples of the catch-and-shoot variety. Nassar is an intriguing next-level prospect out of the Inland Empire powerhouse who doesn't get as much attention as some of his talented teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jeremiah Profit | 2027 | Temecula Valley</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Profit is one of the more highly-touted freshmen in Southern California and he showed why as he scored a game-high 35 points in TV's close loss to Riverside Poly. The 6-foot-5 wing showed some three-level scoring ability and did it efficiently. Profit is a quick-twitch athlete with an explosive first step which helps him to get to the rim and his vertical athleticism allows him to finish over length. Profit also knocked down mid-range jumpers and deep three-point shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">JRob Croy | 2026 | Riverside Poly</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Croy is a smart, savvy and high-energy shot maker and two-way player. The 6-foot-4 combo guard is a consistent three-point shooter off the catch with multiple spot and multiple distance range. The sophomore showed great energy and IQ as a primary and help defender in on-ball and team settings. Croy finished with 24 points and six three-pointers in Poly's win over Temecula Valley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1630634' first='Zion' last='Booker'] | 2025 | Etiwanda</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Booker is one the most explosive wing athletes in SoCal, and while he uses that for transition finishes above the rim, his biggest impact is on the defensive end. The long, wiry junior uses his length and lateral speed to contain ball handlers, contest shots ant the rim and close the space of shooters quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
