<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Eastside</strong></h2>   <p>The Eagles had a strong summer coming off a 16-12 season. All-Region performers Christian Gatewood and Josiah Johnson return. On the perimeter, sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2469182' first='Roman' last='Sullivan'] is a blossoming impact maker. [player_tooltip player_id='2880578' first='Jordan' last='Poole'] and Iverson Freeman balance a deep backcourt full of weapons.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Marist</strong></h2>   <p>Marist looks to build off a Sweet 16 season. The War Eagles don't have a D-I post anymore but have a very experienced layup under new coach Reilly Campbell. [player_tooltip player_id='2471152' first='Jay' last='Walsh'] is a big guard coming off a breakout season which saw him average 13.3 points and 6 rebounds. [player_tooltip player_id='2434203' first='Bobby' last='Harpring'] is a heady playmaker with deep three-point shooting range, a candidate to double his production from Year 1 where he averaged 5.6 points. [player_tooltip player_id='2245660' first='James' last='Lasco'] and Khamillo Wells provide leadership as seniors. The 2027 class has potential stock risers between [player_tooltip player_id='2866854' first='Engin' last='McCarthy'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2419525' first='Jake' last='McLaren'].</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Griffin</strong></h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2575543' first='Demari' last='Bailey'] is one of the best guards in the state that doesn't get talked about enough. He powers a Bear team coming off a 19-10 season. Robert Sullivan is another All-Region pick returning. [player_tooltip player_id='2827981' first='Jayce' last='Touchstone'] is a name to know, a bouncy swingman that rebounds consistently.</p>   <p></p>
