[player_tooltip player_id='2803783' first='DJ' last='Driver'] was an exceptional player for Birdville against Arlington Grace Prep. He consistently jumped passing lanes and made big plays, especially on the defensive end. He plays with intense energy and is one of the most active players in defensive rotations for Birdville. Off steals, he often takes the ball coast to coast, resulting in successful finishes in transition. When finishing layups, he can contour his body to finesse over defenders. Without the ball, he poses a threat on the perimeter, capable of making impressive off-the-catch threes.     [player_tooltip player_id='2354359' first='Johnny' last='Green'] is a specialist shooter that faced Birdville's defense throughout the game, who struggled to contain his scoring at times. He consistently hit mid-range shots, fading away with his back to the basket to shoot over smaller defenders. This allowed him to capitalize on these opportunities effortlessly. When shooting from all three levels, he demonstrated exceptional touch on his jump shot. Additionally, Green showcased his ability to stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting, making shots from that area at a high rate. Occasionally, he also got active on the glass, securing defensive rebounds and contributing to offensive rebounds.     [player_tooltip player_id='2077359' first='Avery' last='Webb'] showcased impressive playmaking skills, making great reads on offense. He effectively passed to teammates finding them open along the perimeter. Off defensive stops by his team, he was looking to majority of times push the ball up the court into the half-court. At times, he found himself wide open on the perimeter, capitalizing on these opportunities when open. However, he also demonstrated the ability to hit contested shots from the perimeter. Additionally, he showed his downhill driving ability when the left driving lane was open and frequently got fouled which led to free throws where he consistently shot accurately.     [player_tooltip player_id='2077360' first='Sawyer' last='Dotson'] is a pure shooter who can pull up in the face of opposing players while dribbling and catch, showcasing a high release point that allows him to take multiple shots from range. His frame enables him to shoot without being bothered by late contests. Additionally, he scores points in the interior by running in transition or creating driving lanes for himself through dribble penetration. Sawyer is currently committed to Lipscomb University where I can see his game translating well on the D1 level.     [player_tooltip player_id='2556637' first='Amari' last='Coleman'] was a standout player from Arlington Grace Prep as he consistently showcased his offensive prowess by effectively scoring near the rim whenever given the opportunity. His remarkable burst of speed when creating his own shot allowed him to easily find his spots, gaining separation from opposing defenders. During the game against Birdville, his cross-court passing was particularly impressive, setting up his teammates for wide-open perimeter shots. I particularly impressed by his transition defense, where he made a concerted effort to disrupt opposing players. Additionally, his perimeter defense was noteworthy, as he demonstrated his ability to guard against perimeter threats.
