<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the highly anticipated matchup between Derby and Northwest, Cale, Avant, and Jack emerged as the top performers and leaders, guiding Derby to a decisive victory. Cale's rebounding dominance and scoring ability were on full display, as he controlled the paint on both ends of the floor, while also knocking down key shots to keep the offense flowing. Avant's playmaking skills shone through, as he orchestrated the offense with his sharp decision-making and crafty ball handling, setting up his teammates for easy baskets. Meanwhile, Jack's elite shooting was a constant threat, as he connected from beyond the arc and in clutch moments, stretching the defense and creating opportunities for others. Together, the trio's leadership and strong performances proved to be too much for Northwest, as Derby secured the win behind their efforts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Cale Clingan","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Derby High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67873322cf69e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at an impressive 6'8", Cale commands attention on the court with his physical presence and versatile skill set. His height gives him a natural advantage as a rebounder, allowing him to dominate the boards with ease, whether it's pulling down defensive rebounds to reset the play or grabbing offensive rebounds to give his team second-chance opportunities. Beyond his rebounding prowess, Cale is also a sharpshooter, combining his size with a smooth shooting touch. Whether he's sinking mid-range jumpers or stepping out beyond the arc, his ability to score efficiently makes him a dual threat. With his height, court awareness, and shooting precision, Cale is a complete package and a game-changing presence for any team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205706"],"_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-67873322cf704"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avant is a strong playmaker known for his ability to control the game and create opportunities for his teammates. He has a natural feel for the floor, reading defenses well and making smart decisions with the ball. His craftiness allows him to navigate through traffic and find openings, whether it's threading a pass through defenders or setting up plays with precision. As a smooth guard, Avant doesn't force anything but instead lets the game come to him, using his skill to maintain control and keep the offense flowing efficiently. His vision and ability to break down defenses make him a reliable facilitator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2169844"],"_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-67873322cf74a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jack is an elite shooter, known for his ability to consistently knock down shots from all areas of the court. Whether it's a quick release from beyond the arc or a mid-range jumper under pressure, he has the confidence and mechanics to make scoring look effortless. His shooting range stretches well beyond the three-point line, making him a constant threat. Jack's smooth form, combined with his high basketball IQ, allows him to get his shot off even in tight situations. His ability to space the floor and convert from any spot makes him a game-changer for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1290137"],"_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-67873322cf788"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1290137' first='River' last='Peters'] is a high-IQ guard with excellent court awareness and a natural understanding of the game.
