Early Season Stock Boosters: Freshman Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are about 1/3 of the way through the KHSAA season and most teams have played 10 games or more at this point. With the season moving along quickly, here's a look at some Freshmen who have boosted their stock already this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2851890"],"_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-69507703dbd94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mack has found his groove as a playmaker for a talented and balanced Eastern team. Handed the keys to the Eagles offense already, Tre is showing he can facilitate with the best of them and score when he needs to. A good enough shooter to keep defenses honest, Mack is showing himself to be a top 2029 in Louisville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2920732"],"_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-69507703dbe23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fellow freshman [player_tooltip player_id='2880415' first='Ty' last='Bryant'] gets a lot of headlines but Withrow is extremely effective in his own right. Matt is a strong guard who is capable of exploding for the Colonels on any given night. Averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game this season, Withrow is a highly effective driver and finisher who I would categorize as a "bully guard". Matt hasn't shot the ball great thus far in the season but can also be a knockdown shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2888486"],"_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-69507703dbea0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Averaging 8 points and 3 rebounds per game in the always loaded 11th region is impressive. When you factor in that Hobson is doing it as a freshman in a region dominated by Seniors this year, his season has been even more impressive. Cameron has plenty of room to improve over the course of his career but he knows how to score the ball at a high level already and will </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2935091"],"_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-69507703dbf19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mayfield has one of the best young cores of any team in the 1st region and Morris is the leader of the group at this point. Averaging 11 points per game while shooting 60% overall, Gabe's numbers are likely to improve even more as his three point shooting numbers go up. With Morris and [player_tooltip player_id='2381498' first='Brycen' last='Eubanks'] already starting as freshmen, the future is bright for the Cardinals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
