Schofield had a crucial performance to keep the defending 3A State Champs from falling to 0-3 on Wednesday Night, posting a dominant 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The first thing that stands out to you when watching Bryson is his impressive physical frame and athleticism. He is near-unstoppable with early position in the post and rebounds the ball high and strong. However, late in the game, Schofield also displayed his skill with a pair of mid-range jumpers that helped the Raiders finish a much-needed win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2469364"],"_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-692b6bdde81a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another highly-touted Sophomore who stood out was Hunter. Collins took the floor with his new teammates in Wednesday's first game and impressed with 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. He was very effective when getting the ball into the paint, both as a finisher and as a passer. Hunter isn't the biggest wing, but he does lots of things to be a presence at the rim, such as shot-blocking, defensive rebounding, and scoring through contact. Along with all the impressive stuff inside the paint, Collins also connected on a clutch, fourth-quarter three-pointer to help lead the Highlanders to a win over AC Flora. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2459220"],"_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-692b6bdde81f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was very impressed with Harper's showing in the hosts' win over Dreher at the EPIC Hoops Holiday Hoopfeast. He was the ultimate effort guy for them, coming off the bench and working hard to control his defensive glass and win the loose balls. Elijah plays bigger than his listed size because of his strength and athleticism, both of which are major factors in his game. Although he did rack up a solid 10 points and 4 rebounds, Harper's impact was felt on more than just the stat sheet because he got the crowd energized with a nice block and a steal that led to a run-out dunk. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2484554"],"_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-692b6bdde823b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eric is a talented PG who displayed his ability to set his teammates up with good looks all night long. It wasn't the best shooting night for the Wildcats in a matchup with Lancaster, but Jenkins filled his role against the 2-3 zone by frequently finding the holes with quick passes to the middle or driving and kicking to the wings. He is not scared of driving into the trees, especially because West Ashley has a few trees of their own who can clean up the glass if Eric were to miss. Jenkins is a solid shooter in his own right and can't be left alone on the perimeter. He had 7 points and 5 assists in the loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2467354"],"_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-692b6bdde8285"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rounding out this list of top 2028 talent that was on display at the EPIC Hoops Holiday Hoopfeast is [player_tooltip player_id='2467354' first='Isaiah' last='Jacques']. Jacques is another Keenan Raider who was important to their win over Butler (GA). His minutes off the bench were all positive ones because of how active he was on the defensive end of the floor. As soon as Isaiah checked in, he had a pair of steals that led to scores. Jacques also had an impressive pick-and-roll pocket-pass assist to a big man. He finished with 3 steals and 3 assists in a win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
