Totino-Grace 80 Champlin Park 71: top 10 performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We run you through the best of the best from the Totino-Grace win over Champlin Park last night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>One. [player_tooltip player_id='1574227' first='Chace' last='Watley']</strong>. Watley's scoring stretch early in the second half completely changed the way this game was played. And he scored his 32 points in a very efficient way taking mostly good shots in the flow and getting 14 of 21 looks to go down while also creating some chances for others. The Rebels no longer have enough speed to move with a team like the Eagles in the backcourt and Watley took advantage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Two. [player_tooltip player_id='1288748' first='Tyler' last='Wagner']</strong>. His level of confident shooting is at a rate that you don't always see. He needs just a small window to get a look and last year night he scored 36 points on 10 of 23 shooting. The biggest thing is Tyler is getting to the foul line at a very consistent rate right now and he makes almost all of them (10 of 10). Six threes made last evening. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Three. [player_tooltip player_id='2126117' first='Malachi' last='Hill']</strong>. The Eagles used a team approach to defend Wagner and the first guy defending him was Hill. Wagner not going in the first that but not right away. I thought Hill did a good job of being a pest on Wagner early plus Malachi scored 17 points with four rebounds and four assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Four. [player_tooltip player_id='1560740' first='Dothan' last='Ijadimbola']</strong>. Dothan had a four basket run in the first half including a corner three, a pull-up and two basket attacks that were a key part of the TG scoring run in the first half while Wagner was producing his scores. Dothan also rebounded at a team high rate of eight and he had four assists. He spent a bit of time working on Wagner as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Five. [player_tooltip player_id='2126450' first='Gavin' last='Walter']</strong>. When Gavin got a chance to find space and score within the flow he scored five times and created for others for four assists. Walter has had a nice sophomore year and I think the Rebels would have had a better chance to win this if Gavin had more chances to touch the ball each possession, he is really growing as a player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Six. [player_tooltip player_id='2422769' first='Mo' last='Jalloh']</strong>. The hard working Rebel player always seems to have to work for his baskets with transition runs, basket cuts and putbacks. He scored his ten points on five shots, had four rebounds. An okay game for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Seven. [player_tooltip player_id='1560760' first='Kyler' last='Pust']</strong>. Kyler has had an increased role and seems to be taking advantage of it the best that he can as a Rebel junior Last night he took five shots, made four an gave his team ten points on five attempts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eight. Vincent Jacob</strong>. Came off the Eagles bench, defended well, moved the ball for three assists, and hit two threes. Key contribution off the bench and I think he chased Wagner some as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nine. [player_tooltip player_id='1874925' first='Preston' last='Thielke']</strong>. He rebounds, Preston always moves the ball and creates (five assists) but he did not score a field goal and he just doesn't seem to be getting the same scoring chances I have seen from him in the past. Preston I think is going to be a very good division three player somewhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ten. Wil Farris</strong>. Farris did a good job limiting the Jalloh impact on the glass, he was in good spots defensively, grabbed five rebounds, and made a shot inside plus made three of four foul shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
