Edwards owns No. 1 option offensive skills but sacrifices his own stats for the team effort. Edwards is a long and agile guard who scored off the dribble and via his smooth jump shot. On Saturday night Edwards also did a solid job of controlling the tempo for Roman. His well-timed passes led to several easy buckets for teammates, especially went Father Judge switched to a zone defense in the 2<sup>nd</sup> half. Edwards posted 12 points in Roman Catholic's 6A championship game loss to Father Judge</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":"Grant Later ","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hershey","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-67e9511275645"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This junior combo guard came off the Hershey bench and proved he was ready for the big stage by contributing a season high 12 points during their 5A title game loss. Later displayed an accurate three-point shot that possess a quick release and deep range. This athletic and high IQ guard also proved that he could operate as a secondary ball handler against tenacious defensive pressure. Later will be a prospect to watch during the spring / summer grassroots circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2427266"],"_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-67e9511275697"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ruffincame off the Roman Catholic bench in the 6A final and provided an instant spark at both ends of the floor. He is an ultra-quick guard with tremendous instincts. On offense those assets combined with his slick handles to get Ruffin (5 points) to the rack in transition as well as in the half-court. Ruffin's ability to maintain his dribble as he patiently probed the opposing defense for a high percentage scoring opportunities was impressive. Defensively, Ruffin's quickness, instincts and active hands produced several steals. This freshman was extremely poised under the bright lights in Hershey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450662"],"_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-67e95112756e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stanton's is an intriguing freshman prospect with significant upside. During Neumann-Goretti's victory over Hershey in the 5A title contest, Stanton contributed 11 points. His quick first step, end-to-end speed and elusive handles enabled him to drive past defenders and get into the paint. Once he was in the lane, Stanton scored at the rim, dropped passes to the dunker spot and kicked out to open shooters. Stanton exceled in the open court too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
