The 6'1 guard, who transferred to Princeton from Decatur Central, plays with a ton of confidence and is effective both on and off the ball. As of this writing, he has averaged 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. Princeton kicks off the day with a matchup vs Charlestown and it will not be a shocker to see Voltz have a monster game for the Tigers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560994"],"_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-692c7fac7964e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">For Charlestown, all eyes are mostly going to be on Miami (OH) commit [player_tooltip player_id='1922051' first='Anthony' last='Fresh'] but senior combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560994' first='Parker' last='Odle'] is a huge part of what the Pirates do as a team. Odle, a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College commit, is the Robin to Fresh's Batman and is a microwave type of scorer and one of the better catch-and-shoot threats in the state. As of this writing, he put up 7 points in Charlestown's monster win over Jennings County in their first outing this season. Expect some elite shot making from him on Saturday vs Princeton.</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-692c7fac7969f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more impactful out-of-state transfers this season comes from the Liberty Christian Lions. [player_tooltip player_id='2417030' first='Monte' last='Dillard'] is a guy that helps Liberty Christian viewed as one of the favorites in Class 1A this season just by what he does in the post. A transfer from Evanston, Illinois, Dillard brings a rare combination of size, agility, strength, and is an elite rebounder as shown in the Lions' first game of the season where he snagged 15 total boards. He will make an impact vs Brownsburg at Sneakers For Santa.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2272233"],"_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-692c7fac796e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">They guy that will likely be matched up with Liberty Christian's [player_tooltip player_id='2417030' first='Monte' last='Dillard'] many times on Saturday at Sneakers For Santa is Brownsburg 6'6 center [player_tooltip player_id='2272233' first='Chris' last='Brandon']. Through two games this season, Brandon has only put up 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds so far but there is no denying the impact he can make in the post for the Bulldogs. Brandon runs the floor well, is agile for his size, and is very bouncy around the rim. He is an above-the-rim finisher with the ability to rebound outside of his area and protect the paint defensively, as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2873152"],"_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-692c7fac79747"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lot of eyes are going to be on 2028 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2382148' first='Noah' last='Washington'] on Saturday when the New Albany Bulldogs on Saturday and rightfully so however, 2027 center [player_tooltip player_id='2873152' first='Greyson' last='Grubbs'] has a chance to draw some looks as well. Another out-of-state transfer that is on track to make an impact for his new team this season, Grubbs is a good athlete at his position with the length and footwork to guard multiple positions on any given possession. He is a legit 6'6 prospect that will help take some pressure off of Washington this season. Looking forward to seeing what he can do against a tough Plainfield team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561612"],"_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-692c7fac7978e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is no denying it that the Plainfield Quakers are going to be one of the best teams in all of Class 4A this season and a big reason to that is because of the big three in [player_tooltip player_id='1561513' first='Noah' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='1560946' first='Landon' last='Gilliatt'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2267048' first='Harper' last='Baker-Lands']. However, there is a fourth guy on that squad that brings another dynamic to them and that is senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1561612' first='Trey' last='Barton']. A shorter guard, is a floor general with quickness that can be a true playmaker in the lane whether he is scoring or facilitating. Through two reported games this season, Barton is averaging 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
