3 Takeaways: Borgia vs. Orchard Farm

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was one of the later games that happened in Missouri on Saturday night and the hype surrounding it did not disappoint. Borgia has been a tough out all season long and Orchard Farm was a real upset contender. This game had excellent matchups at the forward spot and guards who could make the three. There were lead changes and more. Here are 3 takeaways!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1160837' first='Adam' last='Rickman'] continues his legendary career.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Orchard Farm jumped out to an early lead and Rickman struggled during the 1st quarter, however, it was all uphill from here. Borgia and their star forward got it going and never looked back. One of the things that stood out most about Rickman's talent was his passing ability. He sees the floor at an elite level as a driver, makes the quick pass, and knows where teammates are before help arrives. He's a true point forward. His feel for the game and skill-set make him a rarity in today's game. The 6'5 lefty can pass, dribble, and shoot with elite footwork around the rim. This type of versatility will make his transition to Division 2 basketball easier than most. Rickman has done so much during his time at Borgia and the accolades/records will continue for at least one more game. He's a program legend that's doing his best to lead this team to Mizzou Arena. It's a fun storyline to follow and he was awesome to watch in person.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2405087' first='Max' last='Dietrich'] and Will Wolf provide a duo of the future.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are two young guards that will help keep Orchard Farm on the winning end of many games in 24-25'. Dietrich provided some early scoring in this game and looks like a very good SG for the future. He produced at a high level this year but there's a lot of untapped potential still in him. He's a long &amp; wiry shot maker who scores with a pretty jump shot. He's a competitor and plays with fire. Wolf on the other hand is a combo guard that gets others involved and makes plays with the ball. He's another guy who's a major competitor on the floor. Defensively he impressed and continuously made plays on the ball. A disruptor in every sense of the phrase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579335' first='Brody' last='Denbow'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1427999' first='Alex' last='Wineholt'] are solid unsigned seniors.&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Denbow is an ultra competitive player that's still looking for a home at the next level. He's a sharpshooting off-ball guard that can make tough shots. He was the difference in this game. A much needed spark. He had 14 points and has been a top player for Borgia all season. [player_tooltip player_id='1427999' first='Alex' last='Wineholt'] is another player who did well. The 6'5 lefty blocked shots early on and continued to protect the rim at all costs. He's a stretch big that'll compete on the interior. His game is smooth and built around a high motor. A really impressive stretch four with a high skill level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
