Beaver (PA)/Lincoln Park (PA) Game Recap

Beaver's experience and strength was too much for a young Lincoln Park (PA) team in a 60-49 victory in a WPIAL contest.    Mayo was an offensive catalyst finding different ways to score the basketball. His experience, strength, and power were a lot to handle for the young Lincoln Park guards. He was patient and took what the defense gave him often. He had a game high 37 points. Mayo showed flashes from behind the arc with 3 three pointers. Mayo made a living at the foul line. He was also able to get others involved with his playmaking.     Weiland continues to progress as a prospect making his impact felt in all facets of the game. He did a really good job sharing the sugar and finding his teammates with crisp passes. He makes great reads to get the ball through tight gaps. He used his length to alter shots and has good timing when going up for a deflection. His ability to grab rebounds was shown often. He showed flashes as a scorer. Weiland did a good job moving without the ball and was constantly being a threat as a pin-down screener.     Marino did a good job of being all over the floor on both ends of the floor. He added 9 points and scored those points in an array of ways. Marino showed he could score from behind the arc. He is effective filling the lane in transition. Marino applied good ball pressure and made it hard for the opposing team to get clean looks off. He has no issue being a glue guy for the good of the team. Small colleges need to get him on their radar for the spring evaluation periods!     Johnson left his mark on the game from the jump he plays with no fear and inserted himself in all facets of the game. He showed that he could score from behind the arc with 2 three pointers. He also got frequent paint touches. Johnson showed some craftiness when he was on the attack. Johnson had a few assists and put himself in good spots to get rebounds. Johnson needs to get stronger and I think that will come as time goes on. Something I want to see Damar improve at is learning how to play at different gears at times I felt like he only played at one speed throughout the game.     Henry provided a spark with his offense. He was able to score inside. He is relentless on the attack. He had good touch around the bucket. Henry showed he could score from deep as a catch and shooter. He also got to the foul line.Henry has a blend of strength and speed. He showcased his quick first step when going downhill.     Holmes is a beanpole post who is as long as a country mile. He has a lot of untapped potential and is merely scratching the surface. He found ways to collect rebounds. Holmes showed flashes a scorer taking smart shots. He was patient on the offensive end. He takes big strides on when he is on the move. Holmes showed he has soft hands around the cup. He was also able to be an effective screener. His best basketball is still ahead of him and will only get better with time. College coaches do not be late!
