<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops was in attendance for the final day of action at the 43rd Annual Beach Ball Classic in Myrtle Beach, SC. The St Peter's High School Eagles from Staten Island, NY finished the Beach Ball Classic with a (2-1) record. Let's take a look at how the Eagles played on the last day right here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles defeated Norcross HS (GA) 56-54. The Eagles received strong play from UNSIGNED Senior forward<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1682059' first='Qadir' last='Martin']</strong>. Martin a left-handed forward is a sneaky athlete. Qadir has the ability to play-inside out on the floor for the Eagles. Martin has a great set of hands to catch anything thrown in his direction. Qadir was able to set screens and play active on both ends of the court. He finished with 23 points and 7 rebounds in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin would post-up at times and also had the ability to finish with either hand around the rim. He constantly was in the right place to make a play. He showed a decent stroke out to the perimeter while knocking down the 3-ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2312726,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/eZy-Watermark_03-01-2024_10-51-56-2760AM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/eZy-Watermark_03-01-2024_10-51-56-2760AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2312726" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1682064' first='Jalen' last='Munson']</strong> finished with 14 points in the win over Norcross HS. Munson was able to penetrate-kick into the paint while playing aggressive. Jalen has a quick first step to race by defenders at times and really plays the game with a fearless mindset. Munson needs to take care of the ball better at times but was able to finish through contact on the way to the bucket here today. Munson connected on a few three-pointers from downtown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2312724,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/eZy-Watermark_03-01-2024_10-51-37-0870AM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/eZy-Watermark_03-01-2024_10-51-37-0870AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2312724" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1395993' first='Mike' last='Spisto']</strong> certainly isn't the biggest guy on the floor. Spisto a point guard used the ball-screen well to turn the corner at times. Mike is a very crafty passer and at times today touched the paint and found the gaps for the Eagles. Spisto really turned to the floater down the lane at times when he looked to shoot the ball today. He finished with 5 assists and 6 rebounds today in the win over Norcross HS. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles move to (9-3) on the season before heading back home to Staten Island. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
