#PHRockyMountainMayhem 14U Stretch Bigs Who Broke Out at Webber

If you're looking for standout performances, these forwards delivered in a big way. Whether it was a clutch bucket, a strong finish at the rim, or a momentum shifting stop on defense, these guys brought it all tournament long. Here's a breakdown of the forwards who really put it all together and made a statement.    Lerwick really showed out last weekend and was a force in the paint from start to finish. He played with confidence and control, getting to the rim whenever he wanted and finishing strong through contact. He found ways to blow by defenders and get all the way to the bucket. Once he got there, he was automatic. What stood out most was how smooth and effective he was. Every shot came from a smart read, he wasn't forcing looks, just taking advantage of the defense and making it look easy. Inside of 10 feet he was locked in, Lerwick didn't miss a single one, which speaks to his footwork, touch, and composure in traffic. He made tough finishes look routine and kept the pressure on the defense every time he touched the ball     Hulse had a standout weekend and was a dominant force inside. He controlled the paint with his size and footwork, carving out space to make life tough for defenders. Offensively, he was locked in putting himself in the right spots, whether it was cutting to the hoop, sealing off his man, or crashing the boards for second chance points. What really stood out was the shooting efficiency he displayed. Hulse didn't force anything either, taking what the defense gave him and made the most of it. Overall Hulse brought energy, toughness, and a reliable scoring presence in the paint—exactly what his team needed throughout the tournament     Tarpenning was a real problem for defenders all weekend thanks to his size and length. He created mismatch after mismatch just by being on the floor. Whether it was snagging rebounds in traffic or using his reach to finish over smaller defenders, he made his presence known every time down the court. Tarpenning was especially tough on the offensive glass and always in the right spot, crashing hard, and going back up strong for second chance points. Defenders couldn't move him or out-jump him, and once he got the ball near the rim, it was pretty much guaranteed points. His combination of size, timing, and touch made him nearly impossible to contain, and he kept that energy up from start to finish     Pruitt had a solid all around showing, but it was his offensive game that really stood out. He didn't need the ball in his hands to make things happen. His movement off the ball was top-tier, constantly finding gaps in the defense, slipping into open spots, and creating looks without forcing anything. Defensively he brought just as much energy and intensity. He was super active always keeping his hands up and staying engaged. Pruitt disrupted shooters, got into passing lanes, and made it tough for opponents to get into any rhythm. It was his two way effort that really elevated his team's performance     Erickson was in his bag all weekend. His jumper was smooth, and he played with a calm, confident rhythm that made him tough to guard. Whether he was pulling up off the dribble or catching and shooting, he had total control of the ball and his body. He'd hit defenders with a quick dribble drive, get them leaning, then stop on a dime and knock down the step back. From deep, he was lights out. He showed off serious range, hitting three's from well beyond the arc and making it look easy. The defense had to respect him everywhere on the floor, which opened up even more space for him to operate. Erickson was a true scoring threat every time he touched the ball, and he played with that quiet confidence that lets you know he was locked in
