Aliquippa (PA)/ Forest Hills (PA) Recap

Aliquippia knocked off Forest Hills 73-34 in the PIAA 3A quarterfinals on Saturday.    Pratt had another steady performance on Saturday. He showed that he could score the basketball at all three levels. He really does a good job at scoring the ball around the bucket and has an arsenal of different finishes he can use around the rim. He did a good job getting to spots in the mid-range. Pratt showed flashes of getting others involved with his passing. He finished with 27 points. He found ways to come up with steals. Pratt used his length by altering a shot right before time expired. I would like to see Pratt settle less on the offensive end sometimes I feel that he can just put a shot up to put a shot up. Also I would like to see him play off two by using jump stops when getting downhill around the paint.     Goode does a little bit of everything for his Quips team. He is a stat sheet stuffer he has his hands on all aspects of the game. He comes up with steals and can use his length to cause disruption on defense. He is a good athlete who can play around the rim. He can score a bucket in a matter of seconds. Goode also finds the bucket in a variety of ways. He scored 23 points with three 3 pointers. Even though he is a football player I think Goode is a prospect who should get. recruited at the division 2 level for hoops due to his consistency and versatility.     Pratt scored around the bucket and did a good job of filling the lanes in transition. He showed that he could come off screens for scoring chances off his own. He was active on the boards and came down with several rebounds. Pratt made others better by getting them the ball for scoring chances of their own. He was also able to score at the foul line. He does a good job in his role and doesn't look to overstep his boundaries.     Council chipped in 10 points showing he could provide a spark as a supportive scorer. He put himself in good places on the floor to come up with rebounds and seek scoring chances. He is a bit of a tweener and can play multiple positions. He stayed within himself and didn't overstep himself on the offensive end.     Stohon was effective maneuvering his was way to different spots in the half court. He had great touch around the bucket and converted opportunities inside. Stohon likes to play at a slower pace where he can control the flow of the game. He does a good job using his body to get to different spaces on the floor. He was able to get to the foul line and convert on several chances from there. He does a good job moving the ball and has a good feel for the game. I would like to see Stohon become more of a sound shooter from behind the arc.
