Anderson had a great summer and was expected to take a leap this season, and he has done that so far. Anderson had two double-doubles this week and dominated the paint. Marshall is an outstanding defensive team, and Anderson plays a part in that with how he protects the paint. Anderson averaged 16 PPG and 10.6 RPG this week, and Marshall went 2-1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347778"],"_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-6768c5e4b3260"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2347778' first='Adam' last='Perdue'] is smooth as a scorer, and I always enjoy watching him. He had a big game in a win over Dominion on Monday with 24 points. He also had a solid second half against Riverside. Adam is one of the best scorers in NOVA, and he has the size and skill to contribute at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1767529"],"_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-6768c5e4b32a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There aren't many bigs in the state that are stronger and more physically imposing than [player_tooltip player_id='1767529' first='Brandon' last='Edozie']. Brandon plays hard and is a guy you can dump down to in the post for a bucket. Brandon is a good interior defender and an outstanding rebounder. Brandon had two double-doubles and was big in Forest Park's 3-0 this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353668"],"_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-6768c5e4b32ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kam Cain has been on a tear so far this year. Kam is an elite athlete and an outstanding scorer. He scores from all over the court, and he has been unstoppable so far this year. Kam averaged 22.6 PPG and led Gainesville in scoring every game in Gainesville's 3-0 week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347788"],"_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-6768c5e4b332e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2347788' first='Merrick' last='Rillstone'] was outstanding for South Lakes against Patriot. Merrick's ability to put the ball on the floor puts strain on opposing bigs, and it's something he cooked with this game. Merrick moves well for his size, and he had a few and 1s. Last year, Merrick didn't have a role you'd expect from someone as talented as he is. He's gotten off to a great start this year and showed why he's such an intriguing prospect going forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1410534"],"_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-6768c5e4b3378"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The first half of Patriot vs South Lakes was close, and South Lakes took a 2-point lead to the break. The second half was all South Lakes, and [player_tooltip player_id='1410534' first='Jordan' last='Scott'] took over this game in the paint. He had some nice defensive plays and did great work out the post. Jordan was great on the offensive glass and was a significant reason South Lakes pulled away. Jordan finished with 35. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2148734"],"_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-6768c5e4b33ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2148734' first='Elijah' last='Gaskins'] was a bright spot for Patriot in their loss to South Lakes. Elijah is an aggressive and skilled driver, and he had a handful of and 1s. Elijah finished through contact well, and he had a terrific showing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
