6th Man Hoops Clash of the Counties: Wing Standouts

On January 25th and January 26th, 6th Man Hoops hosted a showcase at Newark Collegiate Academy in Newark, NJ that consisted of an array of matchups of programs across different counties all over the state of New Jersey. Let's take a look at the some guys, at the wing position, that stood out over the course of Saturday and Sunday's action.    Finishing the game with 16 points, Kevon Ishman showcased his ability to score the basketball within the flow of BelovED Charter's offense. Ishman showed that he can finish at the rim- whether that be evading defenders in transition, attacking off the dribble in the halfcourt, or knocking down an open catch and shoot three. Ishman was able to draw contract and get to the free throw line.     Using his strong and physical frame to finish at the rim, [player_tooltip player_id='1501449' first='Qadir' last='Dixon'] got to the rim pretty much whenever he wanted.

Dixon finished the game with 13 points and 13 rebounds.     [player_tooltip player_id='2763474' first='Aivaye' last='Ingram'] showcased his versatility on both ends of the ball for Trenton High.

[player_tooltip player_id='1948970' first='Donald' last='Nwaigwe'] was extremely effective in the way he was able to rebound the basketball off the glass and push in transition to finish at the rim. In the halfcourt, Nwaiagwe was an aggressive downhill attacker creating not only for himself but also creating for others; whether that was kicking out to open shooters or dumping it off to his teammates in the dunker spot. Nwaigwe finished the game with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3steals.     Kareem Hogan was very aggressive in attacking the basket, often times finishing through contact at the rim.

[player_tooltip player_id='2194744' first='AJ' last='Greig'] shined in his ability to play within the flow of Ramapo's offense, knocking down open shots from three point range.
