He took over for spurts in the second half, helping St. Francis Prep come back from an 11 point hole at half and ultimately taking the lead. His ability to space the floor makes him hard to guard and he is one of the best rebounders in the CHSAA. 2025 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1361711' first='Vere' last='Anthony'] was integral as well, as his hot-shooting third quarter sparked the Terrier run. They'll take on the #1 seed in Nazareth on Friday night at SFP.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1361728"],"_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":"Alston has been one of the more consistently productive guards early into this post-season and that was very much the case again on Wednesday night. He hit shots on the move and was able to get into the lane and either finish or find open shooters. Alston also does a great job of getting himself and his teammates set and communicating defensively and that was clear during the first half.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2164863"],"_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":"Witter gave the Kingsmen breathing room on multiple occasions with his shooting.

With the Nazareth defense keying in on [player_tooltip player_id='1704747' first='Brandon' last='Margolin'], it was King who stepped in and helped pick up some of the offense. If he can do that consistently the rest of this post season it makes the Clippers that much more dangerous.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d7794a5cf35"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Interested in our previous coverage of the CHSAA playoffs?
