He showed his physicality by attacking the rim. Chatman hit his fair share of shots from deep with 3 threes. He was active on the glass shagging his fair share of rebounds. He played unselfish and has a knack to make plays for others. On the defensive end he found ways to get steals and alter shots. Chatman keeps shinning when the lights are on and will continue to see a boost in his recruitment with his constant play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1595679"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2733285,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67889061d6f3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rippey had a huge 4th quarter scoring had 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter to take the game out of reach for a surging Hill squad. He had two 3 pointers. Rippey also spent some time at the foul line. He constantly wills his way to the bucket with his quick first step. Rippey scored in traffic. He plays with a great pace and never gets sped up. I like how engaged on the defensive end. Rippey was constantly communicating and hunting to pick ball-handlers pockets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213561"],"_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-67889061d6f85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oliver is a jack of all trades who showcased his versatility. I like the way Oliver runs the floor in transition, he runs like a deer and is all gas no brakes. He showed he could score from behind the arc with three 3 pointers. He uses his length to collect rebounds. Oliver is a bit of a tweener and is stuck between a few positions. He also showed that he is an effective defender and can guard different body types. He added 18 points in the win. Any low major program in need of a versatile wing needs to give a serious eval to Oliver over the remaining course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251704"],"_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-67889061d6fc9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson showed his versatility throughout the game. He was great getting paint touches and finishing inside. He showed he could score from the three point line. He was active playing out to the mid post. Johnson scored at the foul line. Really liked his vision of the floor and making tough passes to his teammates. He added 18 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1196125"],"_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-67889061d700b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Bucknell commit showed he could score in a variety of different ways. Meachem does a good job of touching the paint. He hit tough shots. Meachem set others up and found shooters often. He added 16 points and 2 threes in the loss. He also got his hands on some steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427983"],"_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-67889061d704d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trn made his mark in the game from behind the 3 point line. He has no fear putting shots up from deep and converted on four chances from out there. He also got to the foul line. Trn added 14 points. He will be an intriguing prospect to track over the coming years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Blair Academy took down fellow Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) member Hill School (PA) 75-65 in a league game on a cold Wednesday night in Blairstown, NJ.
