He used his frame to back down defenders in the post and his athleticism to finish above the rim. He also grabbed rebounds on both ends of the floor, making a significant impact on his team's early Saturday performance. As I watched him throughout the day, I noticed flashes of his ability to stretch the floor. He made a couple of jump shots in the mid-range and perimeter. Defensively, he showed his versatility by playing perimeter defense while also matching up with big men in the interior.

He successfully made multiple three-pointers, including a crucial three-pointer that sent the game into overtime despite their initial deficit of 47-50 against Shadow Creek. With this in mind, he is capable of making significant plays when they truly matter. Offensively, Moore demonstrated his athleticism by effectively getting downhill to convert tough layups in traffic and finding his spots in the mid-range. Throughout the weekend he maintained control of the pace for his team as he consistently brought the ball up the floor during most offensive possessions. Defensively, Moore stayed up on opposing ball handlers effectively applying pressure and contributing to a few rebounds.     Kason Ficarra was a secondary ball handler for Cinco Ranch against Marshall who impressed me with his shooting. He made multiple three-pointers off the catch, either coming off screens or in the open floor. Defensively, he put good pressure on opposing ball handlers. He played with great effort on both ends, making an impact on trying to get back in the game.     [player_tooltip player_id='2868007' first='Korben' last='Goodwin'] showed exceptional great touch around the basket against Killeen Shoemaker. Every scoring opportunity he had, he primarily scored in the paint by blowing right past plenty of defenders, torching them throughout the entire game. He was nearly unstoppable in his pursuit of going to the basket offensively. He rebounds the ball effectively defensively and crashes the boards offensively for his team, providing second chance opportunities. Throughout his minutes, he was active in transition as well as he ran his lanes effectively.     [player_tooltip player_id='2251928' first='Chase' last='Richardson'] is the starting guard for Friendswood who was thoroughly impressive with his ability to read the opposing BMT Westbrook defense. As a skilled dribbler, he effectively sets up the offense and creates his own shot opportunities. His ability to pass and operate in the pick and roll makes him a formidable offensive threat. Chase aggressively attacks any driving lane he has in the half court while often dunking in transition. As an athletic guard he can explode to the rim with ease, making him a constant threat on offense. Defensively he is a reliable on-ball defender who maintains a good distance between himself and opposing players. Additionally, he has a knack for stealing the ball, often sneakingly tipping the ball out of opponent's hands by making quick rotations on the defense.
