The elite athlete showed last game that he is ready to go in his senior season. Gugle was near a points and rebounds double-double last time out. I'm predicting that he reaches that statistical category tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1538145"],"_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-694018e256d80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I REALLY like this Clarkston team so I could have picked any number of players for this spot. But the senior guard needs to be seen. This is a good game as Clarkston tries to stay undefeated playing at Walled Lake Western. Charter has played some really good basketball. I think that he's an elite passer and has a sneaky high upside. Tall, smart and efficient passers aren't a dime a dozen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793921"],"_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-694018e256dc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Who doesn't want to watch 1 of the best players in the state and a very possible Mr. Basketball candidate? Allen and his Wayne Memorial teammates welcome Redford Union in tonight. It will a good chance to watch Allen's elite handles, explosiveness and lights out pull up jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2739495"],"_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-694018e256e0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Riverview will travel to Taylor tonight. If you saw clips of Swearingen's last game, then you know why he's here. He went off for an electric 28 point performance. Swearingen was flat out making tough shots look easy. He showed volleyball line range from the top and showed that he could shoot in traffic and through closeouts everywhere else.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2119776"],"_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-694018e256e5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Inter-City Baptist will play at home against Southgate Anderson. You want an exciting player to watch? Well, Esse already has a 41 point game this season. He was hitting shots from everywhere, covered or not. What can Esse do to add to it? Watch the game tonight and find out. I'm sure the highlight reel guard has something in store.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There will be some great basketball and high quality players to see across the state tonight. We're going to give you some players we think will be fun for fans to watch and valuable for coaches to watch.
