But today, it didn't really matter who guarded Jordan. He had one of his best games of the year, which showed why he's one of the best prospects in Virginia. He got started early, knocking down threes and attacking the rim. He had 10 first-quarter points and finished with a game-high 23. Sometimes, I feel like Jordan isn't as aggressive as he should be and doesn't always realize how talented he is. That was not the case today; he searched for his shot and dominated.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1259626"],"_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":"Coming into this season, [player_tooltip player_id='1259626' first='David' last='Rochester'] was supposed to have a big role. Because of injury and other circumstances, his role was lesser, and he wasn't the offensive option he may have anticipated. He has still found ways to be impactful all year, and he made an impact for South Lakes today. South Lakes' defense was suffocating, and David played a big part in that. He finished with 7 points, 6 rebounds, and a block.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1304244"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1304244' first='Brian' last='Kennedy'] has been terrific for South Lakes in postseason play. He was excellent on both ends in the first half of this game. He hit a buzzer-beater three at the end of the first half, stretching the South Lakes lead to 11. He also had a few buckets towards the end of this game that iced it. Brian played a smart and efficient game, and he finished second on the team with 16 points.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1494107"],"_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":"Woodside dominated LC Bird in the class 5 title game, winning by 20. The most impressive player in this game was [player_tooltip player_id='1494107' first='Silas' last='Barksdale']. Silas's best skill is how great of a motor he has at his size. At 6'8, he plays the game extremely hard, making him a walking double-double. This was part of what dominated this game today for Woodside. He was a monster on the offensive glass, collecting 10 offensive rebounds. Silas had a team-high 17 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2194713"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='2194713' first='Callen' last='Morrison'] had a fantastic first half for Woodside. In a very low-scoring first half, Callen's 10 points felt like a lot more. He played a clean and efficient game and did well as a facilitator. He didn't turn the ball over much and had 5 assists. He finished with 11 and competed on both ends.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ed150250b17"} /-->
