<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the prospects who are the front runners to win the POY award in southeastern Pennsylvania's East Penn Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865344"],"_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-673eacfc9771c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2023-24 this East Stroudsburg (D2) commit averaged 17.3 points and 8 rebounds per night and was named a 1st Team All-EPC selection. But after what we saw from Brito this summer, we are expecting an even more impressive senior campaign. In June Brito was named as a top performer at Philly HS Live. Then in August he was a standout at the A-Town Showdown. This stretch-4 prospect displayed improved 3-point shooting (20 3PM in 2023-24) as well as smoother footwork and a more muscular frame. Brito mixed it up on the interior too. He scored on post ups and by the working the offensive boards. Over the summer Brito also exhibited a significantly more aggressive style on offense.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608319"],"_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-673eacfc9778a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During his sophomore year Coles (15.9 ppg.) established himself as one of the premier 3-point shooters in the region. Last season he drained 69 triples and posted 7 games of 4 or more made threes. Coles scored a season high 26 points (2 threes) against East Stroudsburg North. These incredible stats earned Coles a 1st Team All-EPC nod last season. Coles quick release and ability to shoot threes off the dribble make him difficult to guard on the perimeter. When opponents manage to chase Coles off the arc, he can use his crafty handles to get into the mid-range for runners or all the way to the cup for a lay-in.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865351"],"_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-673eacfc977ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mushrush is an athletic guard who is a highly accurate long-distance shooter. Last season he averaged 13.3 points per game on the strength of 70 made threes and was a 1^st Team All-EPC selection. Thanks to Mushrush's scoring prowess ACC experienced a deep run in the 4A state tourney last March. In addition to lacing threes, Mushrush can use his speed and finishing skills to score in transition. His mid-range game must be respected too. Mushrush is also a plus rebounder at both ends of the floor. Earlier this fall, Mushrush committed to Ursinus College (D3).   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1486760"],"_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-673eacfc9780c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">During the 2023-24 regular season Vigo (1^st Team All-EPC selection) averaged 19 points per game and dropped two 30-spots. Yet it was his offensive explosion during the 4A state tournament (games of 35 and 25 points) that really grabbed our attention and established him as the favorite to win the 2024-25 EPC Player of the Year Award. Vigo is a walking bucket who can score at all three levels. However, he does most of his damage inside the arc. Vigo's speed, deep bag of dribble moves, and electric finishing skills make him a transition scoring phenom. Those assets combined with his quick first step enable him to score off the bounce at will in the half-court. In both scenarios Vigo can convert through contact or with a circus finish.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
