Class C Small School Semi-Final Top 6 Players

I went to the NEPSAC semi-final game between #1 Lexington Christian Academy vs #4 Boston Trinity. Boston Trinity started out with a bang with two three's and a mid-range to go up 8-0 on the number 1 team forcing a timeout by Coach Scaro of Lexington. Lexington would soon be back in it behind Randy Guzman's 24 point 1st half performance. Boston Trinity led 30-27 at the half. Lexington would soon turn the pressure up and never looked back winning 66-46 avoiding the rematch loss in the same exact game last year.    Absolutely stole the show keeping his team in the game in the 1st half and became more of a moderator in the 2nd half but definitely Balled Out. A true scorer in my book, quick and had all kinds of great finishes. One of the amazing finishes he had was a baseline drive “Kyrie” spin off the backboard facing his own hoop layup. He shot from deep off the catch and shoot in transition and off the bounce. A few more finishes were driving left (non-dominant side) elbow jumper, tween step back three and a 15-footer baseline And 1. This player deserves looks from higher divisional NEPSAC teams and D3 colleges.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898773387041755385 </div></figure>     This player does it all especially leading his team in rebounds in this game. I loved his vision, unselfish teamwork and movement of the ball in the offense. He is a headsy player and understands how the ball should move to get high percentage looks at the rim. A couple other pieces to his game that is salient is his finishes like a “Euro Step” and finds the holes well in the defense to drive.   <a href="https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898489179769545154">https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898489179769545154</a>     I saw him first last year in this same game Semi-Final Class C Small NEPSAC game against Boston Trinity. He is athletic and can score. He shoots from deep off the catch, off the bounce and finishes at the rim. He drew multiple fouls in both games I saw and finishes well after contact. He made a sweet lefty bounce pass to Randy in transition on the move after he stole the ball. He scored all 12 of his points in the second half against Trinity but could get closer to 20/+ a game with ease.   <a href="https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898489179769545154">https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898489179769545154</a>     A shooter by turning his hips quick and gets his footwork done in rhythm. He steps into his shots which helps with his consistency. He had a tough drive going right paint finish falling away. Ceadan gets a lot of shots off as a result of no hesitation and quick release. He is a Top 2 scorer on this team and consistently proves that since the same game last year, I remember him being one of the better scorers on Boston Trinity. Within the first couple of minutes he started off with two three's that opened up the game to an 8-0 start.   <a href="https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492">https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492</a>     He is the true lead point guard on this Trinity team having the ball and offense go through him. He has different tempos he uses with stride steps, stunt steps and slow stepping defenders. He got to the paint off different defenders and was able to rise up over smaller guards on Lexington Christian to shoot. He squares his shoulders mid-air to get more efficient shots off which is a technique he uses to pretend like he isn't shooting off the dribble. He can knock jumpers down after contact and made a nice drop step elbow jumper. I am excited to see if he can improve his made field goal percentage and where he goes to in college.   <a href="https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492">https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492</a>     The most improved player in my opinion on this Boston Trinity team. Comes off the bench but I witnessed both games he provides a good spark. He defends well against taller guards in Class C Small Schools. He releases pressure off the main point guard to play off the ball and create plays for him by his handles. Improved jump shot percentage last time I saw him play. He likes going to the step through jumpers off one bounce and works well for him.   <a href="https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492">https://twitter.com/jayjohnson88/status/1898466557950312492</a>
