<p class="has-medium-font-size">Seito continues to solidify himself as a reliable perimeter scoring threat. Every time I have seen him over the years, he has brought consistent production and multi-level scoring. He operates primarily off the ball, and he spaced the floor well at Holiday Hoopsgiving and knocked down shots at a high clip. What stood out most was his efficiency under pressure, as defenders chased and contested, but Seito maintained poise and shot-making maturity beyond his years.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Chris is playing with a new level of confidence and assertiveness. Each season he has expanded his game, but this year he looks fully comfortable in his offensive skill set. He showcased a versatile scoring arsenal, with pull-ups, tough finishes, and mid-range jumpers, while being far more aggressive attacking off the bounce. When he is in attack mode, Chris forces defenses to collapse, opening up scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. A more assertive Chris makes Oxford an even tougher matchup moving forward.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Tyson was one of the most impressive guards of the event, particularly on Day 2, where he put together an elite shooting performance. He drilled threes at a high volume and rhythm, and Berkmar had no answer for his perimeter shot-making. While initiating the offense, he balanced playmaking with aggressive scoring, showing his ability to generate looks both off the dribble and within Huntsville's sets. His pull-up shooting from behind the arc and in the mid-range was among the best on display all weekend.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">TaHare brings toughness, physicality, and athletic presence on the interior. Though Dothan doesn't run its offense through him, he finds ways to impact the game with putbacks, lob finishes, and activity around the rim. He is a high-energy big who plays with force, rebounds in traffic, and changes shots defensively. His motor makes him a constant factor in the paint, and his production often swings momentum in Dothan's favor.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Sydney emerged as one of the top shooters of the event. In the game I watched, he connected on at least three threes and displayed deep confidence from the perimeter. Beyond his shooting, he also showed touch inside the arc, finishing through contact, scoring in the paint, and using soft touch around the rim. His blend of perimeter accuracy and interior finishing makes him a versatile scoring threat with long-term upside.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cortez is an athletic wing who had a solid showing and had a two-way impact in the game I saw him compete. His athleticism plays a tremendous part in his play on both ends as defensively, he is able to contest and block shots and cause potential scorers in the paint to keep an eye out for him as he can cover ground extremely well. Offensively, he does a good job getting downhill and using his athleticism to finish in the paint and at the rim. He is a tough finisher and his game draws fouls. As he continues to expand his game and show more efficiency from deep, it will open up gaps in which he can attack of the bounce using his athleticism on the drive to the cup. </p>
