Clark at Sierra Vista Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to catch Sierra Vista's first game without [player_tooltip player_id='1281369' first='Xavion' last='Staton'], who made the transfer to Utah Prep for the remainder of the season. It was back and fourth early on, and at halftime they were knotted up at 31. Then Sierra Vista's offense exploded in the 3rd quarter, and they put up 32 points. Going into the 4th quarter, the score was 63-41. From there, Sierra Vista never looked back and they got the win at home.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Final - Sierra Vista - 86 Clark -74</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player Of The Game -</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1267555' first='EJ' last='Dacuma']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sierra Vista is now 10-3, while Clark falls to 8-7. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1267555"],"_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-677d55b340d20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1267555' first='EJ' last='Dacuma'] was cooking on Monday night.

Brosier used an explosive first step on a number of occasions to burn his guy. Once he got to the rack he also managed to make some tough finishes. His top highlight of the day was a vicious slam dunk that got more than a few people in the stands on there feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 20 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253131"],"_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-677d55b340e10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With [player_tooltip player_id='1281369' first='Xavion' last='Staton'] gone, [player_tooltip player_id='1253131' first='Colton' last='Knoll'] was responsible for protecting the paint and I thought that he did a pretty good job. Knoll got physical when he needed to be, and disrupted more than a few shots over the course of the game. I also saw him making some strong moves in the post and he contributed a few points in each quarter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 15 Points, 1 Block</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"[player_tooltip player_id='2806939' first='Amir' last='Wright']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clark ","_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-677d55b340ee3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite the loss, [player_tooltip player_id='2806939' first='Amir' last='Wright'] played well on Monday night.

But Sierra Vista built a 22 point lead in the 3rd. Gebremeskel never stopped competing though and had some late offense for Clark. He hit a 3 in the 4th quarter, and then went on a little 4-0 run by himself. However the lead that Sierra Vista had built was just too big to overcome.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 12 Points, 1 Steal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2637173"],"_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-677d55b341015"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2637173' first='CJ' last='Edwards'] played some meaningful minutes in Clark's matchup with Sierra Vista. On offense, he was looking for his shots and made a couple of high arcing floaters. Edwards also got after it on defense, and I saw him poke a few balls away from the Sierra Vista guards. All in all, it was a good game from the freshman who seems to be improving many aspects of his game by playing varsity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 12 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
