Despite Coatesville's attempts to smother him, Fleet scored 17 points (1 three). He hit difficult shots from all over the court and at every level. Fleet's primary ball handling skills are underrated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1118630' first='Nelson' last='Lamizana'] </strong><strong>– 6'8″ / 2024 / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Power Forward: </strong>Earlier this seasonLamizana posted a 31-point performance, so we know he can score. But last night it was his work on the boards (16 rebs.) and defensive presence (5 blocks) that really impressed us. Lamizana also possesses excellent rim to rim speed. &nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1589269' first='Nyle' last='Ralph-Beyer'] </strong><strong>– 6'4” / 2024 / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Shooting Guard:</strong> Ralph-Beyer (Sacred Heart commit) continues to amaze us with his athleticism and ability to score at all three levels. Last night Ralph-Beyer came out firing in the 1^st half. He drained 3 triples and posted 15 points before halftime. He cooled off in the 2^nd half (21 pts total), but still impact the final two quarters with his passing and menacing defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Coatesville</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1576717' first='Larry' last='Brown'] </strong><strong>– 6'6″ / 2026 / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Power Forward: </strong>Brown is a long, fast, and instinctive athlete with tremendous upside. He scored 14 points last night and displayed range on his jumper (1 3PM) we had not previously seen. Brown also produced points in transition and in pick-n-roll sets. Plus, he provided rim protection for Coatesville by blocking several shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1379430' first='Amon' last='Fowlkes'] </strong><strong>– 5'10” / 2025 / [program_tooltip program_id='2322977' first='610' last='City'] / Combo Guard: </strong>Fowlkes recorded 7 points in this game, but his impact was felt in every facet of the contest. His quick lateral movement and superb defensive skills produced a host of steals and deflections. Fowlkes also was a rock steady ball handler last night. <strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1850287' first='Zuri' last='Harris'] </strong><strong>– 5'11” / 2024 / PA Coalition / Combo Guard: </strong>Harris is a quick and multi-talented guard who put Coatesville on his back in the fourth quarter. In that final quarter Harris scored 12 of his 22 points (4 3PM). During his takeover of this contest Harris popped 2 threes and was 6-6 from the charity stripe. In this game Harris also scored off the dribble, produced several steals and dished out a handful of assists. Harris plays with an incredible energy that is contagious.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1990914' first='Dior' last='Kennedy'] </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2024 / PA Coalition / Combo Guard: </strong>Kennedy got off to a nice start in this game (5 pts in 1H). But with Harris and Brown cooking in the second half, Kennedy was feeding the hot hands. Kennedy (6 pts overall) did an outstanding job of using his creative handles and IQ to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. He is an electric guard with the size and skills to play college ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marquis Peoples </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2024 / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard: </strong>Peoples (7 pts.) is a talented open court and off the dribble scoring threat. He can also score via his mid-range game. However, last night it was his menacing defense that caught our attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Armon Shockley </strong><strong>– 6'4” / 2025 / Wing: </strong>Shockley came off the bench last night to contribute a much needed8 points. He really impressed us with his well-rounded skills. Shockley produce points in the paint as well as the fast break. He is strong athlete who can score through contact and rebounds at a high level. Shockley is a plus defensive player too. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
