These Concorde District games are often competitive, and this game was another one of those games. Jemon is one of the premier scorers in both NOVA and the state in the class of 2026. Jemon plays both guard positions well, and he is an elite shooter. He had 27 in a win over Oakton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2242396"],"_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-679ef7eb6999f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2242396' first='Aaron' last='McFarlane'] has been fantastic over the past few weeks for Hayfield. Aaron's number 1 skill is his scoring ability, but against Annandale in a blowout he showed a lot more. He finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists. Aaron attacks the rim well and gets his own off the bounce from all over the court. Aaron is active off the ball and is a versatile offensive player.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1966646"],"_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-679ef7eb699f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1966646' first='Noah' last='Barnhart'] had a massive performance in Robinson's blowout over Alexandria. [player_tooltip player_id='1966646' first='Noah' last='Barnhart'] has been the head of Robinson's big improvement this year from last year. Noah is one of the best guard defenders in NOVA and a true PG. He has all the tools you want from a lead guard, and he has been showing out this year and is destined for an all-state selection. He had 25 in a win over Alexandria City this week.</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='2780037' first='Tal' last='Rose'] ","_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":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Loudoun Valley","_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-679ef7eb69aa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Loudoun Valley is one of the more slept-on teams in the area, and they were on a roll yesterday. They continued their hot play, going 3-0 this week, and Junior G/W [player_tooltip player_id='2780037' first='Tal' last='Rose'] led them in scoring every game. Tal averaged 18.6 a game this week to keep Loudoun Valley perfect in district play. At 6'5, Tal is able to knock down threes over outstretched arms without it affecting him. Tal is a fantastic catch-and-shoot guy and has nice range. He is a good defender and does a good job moving without the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588150"],"_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-679ef7eb69b28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnathan Anderson had a huge game in a blowout win over Fairfax. He put on a shooting clinic and had an efficient 28 points. Johnny showed off some elite range on his shots, and he did a fantastic job moving without the ball to get shots. He did most of his work from deep, knocking down 7 threes, and he did it mainly by catching and shooting. </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='2780095' first='Shreyas' last='Vaidya']","_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":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"George C.

[player_tooltip player_id='2780095' first='Shreyas' last='Vaidya'] had a great performance for Marshall in this game. He finished with 21 points and 5 rebounds. Shreyas is an elite shooter, and he plays his role well. He moves without the ball and has nice range as a catch-and-shoot guy. Shreyas also had 18 in a win over Annandale to cap off Marshall's 3-0 week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353612"],"_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-679ef7eb69bf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Even though JJ has a pretty high ranking on the site, I still feel like he flies under the radar sometimes. JJ is a good athlete and a talented shot-creator. He gets to the rim well and is very good in the open floor. He is a great shooter and has a fluid game. JJ had 22 in a win over Massaponax.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
