He was their most impressive player on the night and stood out. He is a good athlete and used that effectively on the glass. Dezmon had some tough finishes in the paint and was Massaponax's best source of offense. Dezmon has an excellent size for a guard and uses it productively.

Makel had 27 points, leading all scorers, and knocked down 5 threes. Makel is a pure scorer and is always committed on both sides. He's an elite shooter with great range and often gets to the line. He is a great free throw shooter and one of the most underrated two players in the state.
