Addison, a talented 5'10" senior point guard, contributed 12 points and 4 assists in the win. He is a dynamic playmaker that should continue to garner small college attention throughout this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2815063"],"_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-693616861d9d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This athletic 6'3" forward has been a revelation for Charlestown to begin the season. His bounciness and length make him a high-percentage finisher up around the rim and he is proving himself as a rebounder on both ends as well. Bowman chipped in 11 points and 6 rebounds in Saturday morning's 68-54 loss to Princeton Community. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1988136"],"_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-693616861da1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The star power of Pike is what puts them in showcase events like the Sneakers For Santa Shootout, but it is their depth that makes them a legitimate state title contender. Davis Jr., a talented senior guard, finished with 10 points in Pike's 66-55 win over Louisville Male.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417030"],"_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-693616861da61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A move-in from the Evanston area in Illinois, Dillard has made an instant impact on one of the Class 1A favorites. He is a good athlete at 6'6" that can play above the rim and run the floor well. Dillard was Liberty Christian's leading scorer, putting up 16 points, a 68-44 loss to Class 4A Brownsburg on Saturday. Small college programs looking to add to their front court should have this under-the-radar name on their list this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140379"],"_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-693616861da9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The size of this 6'9" junior center obviously grabs your attention right away. However, it was the way he consistently posted up hard, called for the ball, and hustled on both ends that got us excited about his development to begin this season. Gordon played as well as we have seen him play in Saturday's 68-44 Brownsburg win over Liberty Christian. The big man finished with 13 points to go along with several rebounds and a couple of blocked shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560981"],"_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-693616861dadd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Newson's athleticism in the backcourt was useful on the defensive end of the floor for Princeton Community against an explosive Charlestown group. The 6'2" guard held his own defensively and was on both ends of the floor throughout. He finished with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in the 68-54 victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140333"],"_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-693616861db1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is hard to match the physical and athletic tools that this Cathedral junior forward possesses. Pippins is very strong while maintaining some explosive leaping ability. He had it all on full display against South Bend St. Joseph on Saturday night as Pippins absolutely dominated the offensive glass. Pippins finished with 11 points and 9 rebounds in the 78-71 win with seven of those nine rebounds coming on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560973"],"_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-693616861db58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A steady, trustworthy presence in the defending Class 3A State Champions backcourt, Roseman showcased both his scoring and playmaking abilities on Saturday evening. He started the game with several mid-range jump shots and a flurry of assists after missing the previous night's game due to injury. It is good to see him back on the floor and he certainly wasted no time producing. Roseman finished with 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists in a 78-71 loss to Cathedral.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2892468"],"_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-693616861db94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A move-in from Florida, Wilkas is just starting to make a name for himself here in Indiana. The 6'5" senior forward was a big part of Princeton Community's 68-54 win over Charlestown on Saturday. He finished with 22 points and 5 rebounds while showcasing a versatile offensive game. Wilkas can stretch the floor as catch-and-shoot threat, but also has the requisite size and strength to finish inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622053"],"_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-693616861dbd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winslow has been excellent to start this season for New Albany. His versatility pairs perfectly with the talent that surrounds him. The 6'3" junior wing can fill so many different roles. He is an excellent finisher around the basket, he rebounds at a high level on both ends, and can switch across several positions defensively. Winslow contributed 13 points and 8 rebounds in a 75-65 win over Plainfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
