NHIAA Scoring Sensations - D3 & D4

It's state tournament time in New Hampshire and as D3 and D4 turn the page on the regular season, we want to take a look at some of the state's top scorers from those two divisions.   Below are six prospects, three from each of the two divisions, that had high scoring outputs this winter.    Underhill, a senior forward at Belmont, averaged 14.8 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 31. The 6'6" forward has a versatile skill set on the offensive end of the floor, allowing him to score both in the paint and from behind the arc. He can finish above the rim in space, has soft touch on his jump hooks, and makes threes both off the catch and the bounce. He's a double-double threat any time he takes the floor and is also a versatile defender.     Ballou, a junior guard at Mascoma Valley, averaged 17.2 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 29. A scoring guard, he's consistent while being capable of having big nights putting the ball in the basket. He's comfortable handling the ball, but can also slide off the ball and impresses as a movement scorer, running off screens or cutting to the rim. He can score over size in the paint, knows how to create space to get his jumper off, and can really run the floor in transition. Defensively, he applies pressure on the ball that leads to turnovers and easy run outs.     Whipple, a sophomore guard at Kearsarge, averaged 14.9 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 25. A perimeter shooter that can also operate as a primary ball-handler, he does a nice job of letting the game come to him and taking care of the basketball. He moves it quickly, can get by the intial defender off the bounce, and has good touch in the paint as a finisher. Off the ball, he does a nice job of getting shot ready before the catch and moving into open passing windows for shot opportunities.     Kingsbury, a senior wing at Woodsville, averaged 19.9 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 33. A versatile lefty, he has the ability to score at multiple levels but is at his best slashing to the rim. He's a crafty finisher in the paint, capable of finishing with either hand in a variety of ways. His size and length allows him to present plenty of mismatch opportunities and he does a good job of taking what the defense gives him. His versatility extends to the defensive end of the floor where he rebounds and defends at a high level.     Charbono, a senior guard at Concord Christian, averaged 13.8 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 22. A big time shooter, he has the ability to get hot in a hurry from behind the arc and knocks down big threes in big moments. He moves well without the basketball, knows how to use screens to get open, and gets squared up to the rim on the catch. His shooting ability opens up driving lanes and he's become a good scorer in the paint. He's terrific running in transition and must be accounted for given his shooting ability.     Reagey, a senior guard at Littleton, averaged 14.9 points per game this winter, with a single game high of 30. A versatile offensive piece, he is able to run the show or move off the ball and operate as a scorer. He can get by the defense off the bounce, has a good feel for the game as a passer, and even shows some scoring out of isolation situations. He knows how to read ball screens, can turn the corner and get downhill, and makes shots from behind the arc both with the ball in his hands and in catch and shoot situations.
