This month in March, Roselle has averaged 16.5 points per game and shows no signs of slowing down come this summer. Roselle proves his drive to win games through hit grit and toughness down on the blocks. Max boxes out opponents on defense and lets Timnath's offense run through him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
