NCISAA Sandhills Athletic Conference Tournament Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>On Thursday and Friday night, the NCISAA SAC Semifinals and Championship games took place on the campus of Fayetteville Christian School. The gym was packed with fans on both nights and with plenty of talented players on the court, the matchups led to some very competitive games. Trinity Christian came in as the #1 Seed and would take home the Tournament Championship as well with wins over Northwood Temple and Berean Baptist.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180895"],"_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-67a9f6d625422"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If there was a Tourney MVP Award, it would have to go to this young man. He makes a very high impact for his team, constantly making plays on both sides of the ball and bringing the leadership that his team needs. Down the stretch of the championship game, he scored the ball from midrange and inside the paint with efficiency while stepping up to defend the opposing team's leading scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220125"],"_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-67a9f6d625492"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Over the last month he has clearly been the most productive player for his team and is playing his way onto the radar of LM/High D2 programs. His perimeter shooting has greatly improved, and he was one of the leading scorers of the entire tournament, averaging 26.5 Points in the Semis and Championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553961"],"_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-67a9f6d6254da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The performances that he has put together over the last few weeks has only helped to make his case as to why he should be getting calls from schools at the NAIA/D3/JC levels. He led his team in scoring in the semifinals with 21 Points and followed that up with some huge plays in the 4th quarter of the championship game to help his team get the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1280941"],"_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-67a9f6d62551e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With the team's leading scorer going down with an injury in the 3rd quarter, he was one of the players to step in and provide some much-needed offense. He led the team in scoring with 14 Points and will be a player that the Eagles will look to for some huge production in the state playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1365507"],"_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-67a9f6d625561"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite his team coming up short in the semifinals, he showed why he took home the Conference Player of the Year Award without a doubt. He scored the ball at a very high level, finishing with a game high of 28 Points in the loss. The ability he has to break down players off the dribble as well as having shooting range from beyond the college three-point line are just a few of the reasons why college coaches are watching him closely. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2691609"],"_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-67a9f6d6255a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We love how much of an impact he makes for his team in just his first year of varsity basketball action. He provides a legit paint presence that can protect the basket on defense but also score inside on the offensive end while matched up against older players. He's strong, athletic, plays with high energy and will only get better over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
