While he didn't take nearly as many shots in the second half, he did a great job of controlling the game and getting his teammates involved as usual.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1682062"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The Mountaineer big man was efficient around the rim when he was given the ball and showed that he can challenge shots at the basket and rebound at a high rate. He's a bit of throwback back to the basket center and he showed good touch scoring over his right shoulder.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1729833"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A 15 point second quarter from Thomas helped Cardinal Hayes get distance against Iona Prep in the first half. The lead guard got hot from beyond the arc, effortlessly knocking down three threes and scoring 13 points in a three minute stretch. Senior guard Adam Njie would keep things going offensively in the second half and closed out the upset.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1361734"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Iona Prep is a very balanced attack and that was evident with Keenan, [player_tooltip player_id='2234395' first='Dillon' last='Callahan'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2196029' first='Lucas' last='Morillo'] all finishing with 15 points to lead the Gaels in defeat. The 6-foot point guard did a good job of mixing up running the offense and hitting timely shots. He's a fearless competitor with a quick first step and was able to get into the lane early and often vs Hayes. If the Gaels are going to go on a run, Keenan will need to continue his strong play.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1880464"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Simply put, there might not be a more polished off the dribble scorer in 2026 in the city than Anderson right now. He hit pull up jumpers, scored off two feet, finished in traffic and knocked down a couple of threes en route to 30 points and the win. He had Scanlan's first 11 of the game and then picked his spots from then on, getting into the lane and either finishing at the rim or hitting a mid-range jumper. He doesn't get sped up and plays with a control that most guards his age do not possess.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1682059"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The senior forward was highly impressive in defeat, scoring 25 points. He does a majority of his damage on the low block but showed that he can hit shots out to the foul line as well. He plays extremely hard and sees the ball well as a rebounder.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d38fbc4adbc"} /-->
