On Tuesday night he made us look smart by posting 19 points in Pottsgrove's loss to PCL contender Neumann Goretti. Doctor is a long, fast, and bouncy prospect who thrived in the open court and around the rim in the half-court. On the fast break Doctor filled lanes and then finished through contact. His quick second jump and nose for the ball enabled Doctor to grab offensive rebounds and then convert on those second chances. Doctor also did a solid job of exploding to the rim off the dribble from the elbows or the wing.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2328798"],"_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-67d1dbac3f595"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On Tuesday night Griffin's epic senior season continued as he poured in a career high 38 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. This stretch-4 style forward splashed 5 threes in Shanahan's 4A state tournament win over Susquehanna Township. Griffin (16 ppg. &amp; 8 rpg.; 1^st team All Ches-Mont) also scored in transition as well as on post ups and dribble drives from the elbows. When he got to the rack, Griffin finished with authority several times. Griffin's length, solid frame, athleticism, and polished footwork were on full display. On defense Griffin cleaned the glass and blocked shots. Griffin also showed defensive versatility when he got switched onto guards and held his own.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251715"],"_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-67d1dbac3f625"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mita (14.5 ppg.' 1^st Team All-Central League) has been one of the best hybrid-forwards in the region all season. Then on Tuesday night he took his game to another level as stuffed the stat book with 32 points and 14 rebounds. Mita's incredible double double pushed Penncrest to a victory over Holy Ghost Prep in the 5A tournament. Mita opened this contest on fire as he popped mid-range jumpers, converted flip hooks, and scored over both shoulders in close. In the 3^rd quarter he simply took over the game by torching HGP from all over the floor. His second half scoring outburst (19 pts. in 2H -- unofficially) led Penncrest to a come from behind win. When college coaches look at the film of this game, they will be especially impressed with the high IQ and court awareness Mita displayed.    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2833857' first='Malik' last='Minor'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Phil-Mont Christian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d1dbac3f75c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minor imposed his will on the PMC's 1A state tournament game versus Lancaster Country Day from the opening tip. He scored PMC's first 11 points of the game and posted 15 points before halftime. When the final horn sounded, Minor had pumped in 25 points and snatched 15 rebounds. This agile and talented big fella produced points in the paint as well as in the mid-range. He also ran the floor for lay-ins on the secondary break. Minor has been a rebounding beast all season and he dominated the boards at both ends in this contest too. On offense, he crashed the glass for rebounds and then scored on those second chances through contact. Defensively, Minor size, wingspan and hops limited Lancaster CD to numerous one and done possessions.      </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
