WCAC Final recap

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glenn Farrello captured his 4th WCAC championship for PVI in a great game against Gonzaga. PVI won this game by 12, but the game was a lot closer than the final score. I also want to shout out Gonzaga's student section, one of the best all year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370496"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1370496' first='Derek' last='Dixon'] had a rough night shooting in the Semi-final against DeMatha. He rectified that in the final and was Gonzaga's most productive offensive player. Derek had an outstanding 3rd quarter, and he was a big reason Gonzaga was able to even the score with about 3 minutes left in the frame. Derek's jump shot was falling all game, and he knocked down 3 threes. I've always loved the maturity in Derek's game, and he showed out in a big spot despite the loss. He finished with 15 points.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1370498"],"_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":"Nyk Lewis was committed to attacking the rim against DeMatha in the semis, and he did well in that way in the final. Whenever I watch Nyk, he's on the floor, hustling for a loose ball. Nyk got to the line and was very productive on the glass. Outside of a few questionable decisions that I'm sure Nyk would love to have back, He was great.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1409272"],"_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":"Former PVI Panther [player_tooltip player_id='1409272' first='Christian' last='Gurdak'] had an excellent showing in the final. Without Pat Ngongba, I felt like Gonzaga's best path to victory would be Christian having a big game dominating with his size. Christian missed a couple of shots he usually makes around the rim, but he was a monster on the offensive glass, getting a couple of putbacks. Off of a few PVI doubles, Christian made some great passes. Christian finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1494103"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1494103' first='Jaquan' last='Womack'] had a fantastic three games in the WCAC tourney.

On offense, Jaquan's speed and finishing gave [player_tooltip player_id='1409272' first='Christian' last='Gurdak'] real trouble. He had a few nice offensive rebounds, and his energy was great, as always.

The WCAC Player of the Year opened the game with two threes and was great down the stretch. I would put Darren's ability as a spot-up shooter and the quickness of his release against any high schooler in the country.
