The sharpshooter delivered in clutch moments, knocking down critical three-pointers while going a perfect 4-4 from the line. He was a big part of Marysville 16-0 and 11-0 runs. Reclaiming the lead with a tough and-one finish with 3 minutes to go then had another and-one finish to tie the game back up with a minute left to play. Despite a valiant comeback, Marysville fell just short on a last second game winner by Medina's [player_tooltip player_id='2819495' first='Beckett' last='Miller']. Cole's scoring, leadership and ability to make big plays under pressure makes him a player for colleges to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2204928"],"_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-694ac691e5f79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2204928' first='Ethan' last='Wright'] led a stunning 19 point comeback win with poise and determination.

At the wing, he uses his strength to finish through contact while also stepping out to knock down open threes. Crashing the boards with intensity, he creates extra possessions and keeps the defense on its heels. On both ends, his effort and skill consistently lift Euclid's pace and intensity. He finished with 16 points and 7 Rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
