Stevens ran the floor and blocked numerous shots in the third quarter upheaval. Stevens was dominant in that quarter, the decisive quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1321569"],"_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-67c4c2510f033"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>3/1/25:</strong> Fayette Ware's Wildcats struggled to find the bottom of the net early, but "Bear" Freeman kept getting into the lane. His dump-off pass to [player_tooltip player_id='1927473' first='Tarecous' last='Stevens'] helped get them into the 20's and Stevens finished a few around the rim against a shorter, but stouter Rebel frontline. Freeman did not hit jumpers most of the game, but he did keep attacking via the dribble, to his credit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2796601"],"_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-67c4c37e28068"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>3/1/25:</strong> Aden delivered a couple perfect passes upon the probing dribble early to help Obion control the first quarter of action. Aden, and the entire Rebel backcourt lost control of the basketball in the third. Numerous turnovers forced by the hosting Wildcats turned the game around. A minor silver lining...Aden drew a couple of fouls along the way and hit one ensuing free throw.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2796616,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/ObionCounty-crop-665x437-1740949048.webp"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/ObionCounty-crop-665x437-1740949048.webp?w=664" alt="" class="wp-image-2796616" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Regular Season Champions Obion County scored 33 on Fayette Ware in the 1st half</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1572498"],"_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-67c4c8871989c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>3/1/25:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1572498' first='Quaylan' last='Hampton'] shone early in the third quarter, drawing a foul and then stealing a dribble shortly after.
