Wallace has been a major contributor for the Regals as a freshman, and he was good again in their win over Notre Dame, scoring 11 points with 5 rebounds and a block. He’s a tough, physical 6-2/6-3 forward who likes to throw his weight around on the block, bullying his way to the rim. He has good footwork and soft touch around the bucket, and his free-throw stroke suggests that he may be able to add some range to his game down the road.

Another talented freshman for Regina, Litton came off the bench to provide 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, while also playing really good defense on the interior. Like Wallace, he has a good frame to continue to build on, and he does a good job using his length to impact the game on the defensive end. He has good hands and soft touch around the rim.
Stephens didn’t have a great shooting night for the Nikes in their loss to Regina, but he played a pretty good floor game, grabbing 4 rebounds with 3 assists and 2 steals to go with his 5 points. He has a quick release off the catch and had a few 3s that rimmed in-and-out, otherwise he would have had a really nice scoring game as well. He handles it and passes it well and has a good feel for the game.
Highlights
A long, lanky, and athletic 6-4 combo forward, Town did a little bit of everything in DMC’s win over Earlham, finishing with 9 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He does a good job high-pointing the ball when rebounding, and is a good enough ball-handler that he can lead the break after pulling down a defensive board. He showed some confidence in his jumper, knocking down his only 3-point attempt with a smooth release, and he’s an efficient finisher around the rim who does a nice job keeping the ball moving on the offensive end.
Highlights
Jameson Scharnberg
Jameson Scharnberg
Scharnberg is probably DMC’s best perimeter shooting threat, going 2-5 from the arc in the Lions’ win over Earlham en route to 11 points and 4 rebounds. He has a quick release off the catch and moves well without the ball in his hands.

Haverback stuffed the stat sheet in Mount Vernon’s win against Williamsburg, finishing with 10 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals, and a block. A quick 6-1 guard who is at his best when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim, he’s a menace on the defensive end with good instincts and timing in regards to jumping passing lanes and turning defense into offense. He struggled with his perimeter stroke (1-9 3P), but he showed plenty of confidence and good form on his jumper.
