Tuesday Night: Stunning Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When the basketball season gets underway, there is always someone out there who puts up big numbers or pulls out an upset and stuns everyone. We are here for that, and here are Tuesday Nights, Stunning Performers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert'], Timpview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You might not think a 30+ performance by a player who is so highly ranked and headed to a powerhouse program in BYU will be stunning, but the way that he did it was stunning in itself. Rueckert showcased his catch-and-shoot ability, and with his length, few can contest his solid mechanics beyond the arc. He also shot the ball well off the bounce. Rueckert displayed strong driving skills, initiated contact, and finished in the mid-range. Lastly, he delivered on the fans' expectations with some impressive above-the-rim play, showcasing his athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1958283' first='Luke' last='Rice'], Park City</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We mentioned Rice in a previous post, and this kid is next level. Putting up 35 points in game one is a big deal, and doing it inside the three-point line is incredible. His shiftiness and strength in the paint are qualities that a college coach at the next level could certainly use. Projection is D2 or JUCO.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Soloman Krommenhoek, Maple Mountain</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior guard set the tone with four three-pointers, and the rest was history as he came up huge with 26 points to help Maple Mountain get a win. This team is scrappy, and if Krommenhoek can continue to shoot the ball well, this team could be dangerous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sam Hinkley, Wasatch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Hinckley had a great fall, he was able to transfer that play to game one and helped his team secure a huge win against a tough Murray team. Hinckey is proving to be a go-to player and reliable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1439714' first='Isaiah' last='Beh'], Murray</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1439714' first='Isaiah' last='Beh'], Murray's senior guard, has clearly been working hard this season. Despite his team's loss, Beh displayed remarkable grit and an impressive ability to make crucial shots. His performance is a testament to his dedication and skill. Beh is going to put up big numbers this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2456647' first='Chris' last='Monroy'], APA West Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First and foremost, APA West Valley's 101-point opening night performance is a stunner. Monroy was a key contributor, displaying high-level ball skills while racking up 28 points. As a 6'0" guard, he's known for his relentless motor, which fuels his performance on both ends of the court, setting the stage for a promising season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
