<p>Moreno is a Kentucky commit and one of the top centers in the country. He has tremendous size, length, and athleticism. Liked how he posted up wide and called for the ball. Was willing to repost. Would like to see him keep the ball higher on the catch as he racked up the turnovers because guards would take it from him. High level rebounder especially on the offensive end as he racked them up in bunches. Also did a nice job of getting to the foul line. Displayed touch around the hoop including a right handed hook shot. Went for 21 points (6-8 FG) (9-12 FT) and 14 rebounds in the win.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1110323' first='Vince' last='Dawson'] (Great Crossing)</strong></p>

<p>Dawson is committed to Morehead State. The senior wing should be a really good fit at that level with his ability to get buckets from all three levels. Hit a couple threes, got in the mid-range where he raised up over the defense, and crashed the offensive glass very well stuffing the stat sheet for 17 points (6-14 FG), 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1208167' first='Gage' last='Richardson'] (Great Crossing)</strong></p>

<p>Richardson hit the game winner as he threw in a half court heave to win the contest against Bellaire 64-63. It capped off a big game for the senior shooting guard who is a plus shot maker from distance going 5-9 from long distance with a quick shot release along with mixing in a couple of soft touch finishes.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225694' first='Shelton' last='Henderson'] (Bellaire)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Henderson is a Duke commit that physically totally looks the part of a big time wing. Built like a linebacker with his strength and athleticism. Flies with the ball in his hands being so light on his feet showing such a smooth handle getting past defenders on explosive takes to the rack. Plays above the rim throwing down a couple big slams. Also has the ability to knock down shots in the mid-range and stretching it out to three where he hit a pair. Plus rebounder that snatches them with two hands. He had 21 points (8-18 FG) and 6 rebounds.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225688' first='Anthony' last='Andrews'] (Bellaire)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Andrews was a breakout player for Bellaire. The big man has a strong frame and can really shoot it. He came out firing in their game with his three point marksmanship as he rained them in as the game went along going 5-9 from distance in the win for 19 points.</p>
