The Cavaliers cruised in the opening game of the day with an 86-43 victory over North HS to advance to the State Championship on Saturday. The Cavaliers had 11 players find the scoring column here today. Junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299737' first='Adam' last='Brown'] </strong>finished with 18 points, and he did most of his damage attacking and finishing at the cup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Football recruit <strong>Jude Hall</strong> came off the bench and provided 12 points while forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299739' first='Reid' last='Hipp'] </strong>finished inside with 10 points. Hall plays with a great motor and moves so well around the court while Hipp was just too much at times on putbacks around the glass vs the smaller Eagles squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2361874,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/eZy-Watermark_27-02-2024_11-33-10-8150AM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/eZy-Watermark_27-02-2024_11-33-10-8150AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2361874" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2630460' first='Anthony' last='Atkins']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2361714' first='Jonathan' last='Perry']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1955479' first='Jackson' last='Fagan']</strong> all scored 9, 8 and 7 points respectively here today. Atkins was just in the right spot at times to score the ball. Perry a left-handed combo guard showed good explosion to the cup at times and getting to the bucket. Fagan does his damage out on the perimeter as a shooter or dialing in from downtown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior guard<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1155909' first='DJ' last='Harvey']</strong> finished with just 4 points tonight in the win.

Avinger has a strong frame but really lacks a true position on the floor for the Mohawks.
