With some familiar faces competing to go to the championship game, it was great to see these 2 teams compete. Only 1 Wichita team could advance and these players gave it their all. Adjadius Reed - He was a big time rebounder against the tall heights squad. He was tough, got second chance points and found his shooters when he caught the ball in the post. On the defensive end he did his best to limit heights to 1 shot and secure the defensive rebound. He also protected the rim with his help side blocks and getting a few dunks in.   [player_tooltip player_id='1588339' first='Amalachi' last='Wilkins']- Amalachi plays the passing lane really well and rebounds everything that's in sight. He's extremely  athletic in transition looking to dunk everything whenever he gets the chance and room to land. He finishes well off of 2 feet or 1 foot.    [player_tooltip player_id='1962885' first='Chase' last='Robinson']- Chase is the junk yard dog. He gets all the 50 50 balls and second chance points for this falcons team. Hes one of the most all around solid players that we have seen. Solid guard with extremely good size to play at a high level.    [player_tooltip player_id='1372285' first='Aven' last='Mboule']- Aven hit 4 3s showing off his catch and shoot ability. Doing what he does best he played good defensively handling those elite explosive guards on the grizzlies. He has been a great addition to this heights squad bringing them a much needed guard presence that can do a little bit of everything.   [player_tooltip player_id='1270290' first='Tasean' last='Williams']- The independence signee guard played as well as he could've. We seen him pull out the acrobatic lay ups and jumpers over the height of the falcons. You love his ability to finish off different feet and in a various ways which will translate a ton at the next level.
