The Meadows School Moves On To The Second Round

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moapa Valley started the game hot and it was fairly close after the first quarter. But then the Mustangs began to find their rhythm and the Pirates started to miss shots. Then in the second quarter[player_tooltip player_id='2050108' first='Ethan' last='Fink'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1817875' first='Grant' last='Moses'] got going and knocked down shots from downtown. All of a sudden The Meadows School found themselves in control of the game and they had a 10 point lead. Moapa Valley attempted to stay in the game by launching more three's in the second half, but they were in too big of a hole to make a comeback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Final Score - The Meadows School 83 Moapa Valley 74</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The Meadows School will host Mater East Academy on Wednesday night at 6:30 PM. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Moapa Valley finishes their season with a 11-16 record.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2280840"],"_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-67aba3a9c9e66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2280840' first='Uzo' last='Nwapa'] showed up and showed out for the Mustangs on Monday night.

It was a stellar shooting performance from the junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 18 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1817875"],"_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-67aba3a9c9f20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1817875' first='Grant' last='Moses'] dropped 20 points on the Pirates.

On offense, he connected on two 3-pointers and he used his frame to score a couple of buckets in the paint. On defense, I noticed him clogging lanes and fighting for rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 12 Points </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='2806773' first='Jaxson' last='Bunker'] ","_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":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Moapa 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-67aba3a9ca00b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2806773' first='Jaxson' last='Bunker'] wasn't going to home without emptying the tank.
