He ran with Next Level SC on the Puma Circuit this Grassroots season. Young really plays well on both ends of the floor around the bucket. He constantly brings constant effort on the glass and understands on how to rebound outside of his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Antwon plays bigger than his size and really shows to have a GREAT MOTOR on both ends of the hardwood. The Patriots finished (15-12) last season in the Upstate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2457406"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c651740340a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown looks to be a late bloomer for the Eagles. Eli showed up really well this past Grassroots season and with the Eagles during the June period. He has really defined his body and showcased his skills inside-out on the floor. Eli averaged 10.4 ppg and 6.4 rebounds last season for the Eagles - look for them numbers to climb. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has a good skill set from all positions on the floor with his soft touch, willingness to finish and crafty passing skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1487224"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c651740344b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeke plays his best basketball around the paint area and stalking the baseline from time to time. He can deliver punches scoring the rock through contact when needed for the Volunteers. He surely won't back away from a challenge or ever play timid while on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clyburn and the Volunteers will be right there in the end like every other year under Head Coach Danny Wright. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848086"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c9f22a2f6fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaden is a welcome addition to the Patriots this season after playing at nearby South Pointe HS. Jaden really likes to go to work with his nice crossover move to get by defenders. He will look to finish at the bucket in transition every time he gets into the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaden has a good frame to get by defenders and make plays for others on the court. Look for him and the Patriots to surprise some folks this season in Class 2A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1645097"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c6517403488"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gerald has a new address this season back in the Pee Dee at Marion HS for Head Coach DJ Kelly. Jaden played last and won a Class 2A State Championship at Gray Collegiate. He played his freshmen season at Trinity Collegiate in Darlington. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gerald brings the Swamp Foxes a nice piece to the puzzle this season for already talented team.
