Week 2 Tuesday Night Action: Archmere at Tower Hill

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Hillers hosted the Auks as both teams kicked off their season. The road team pulled out the win late, 48-45, but not without some fun performances from both sides. Here's who flashed:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3046451' first='Noah' last='Blessington'] | 6'3 F 2026 Archmere </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blessington made a difference for the Auks with his off-ball movement. Without having to dribble, the senior wing scored most of his points by either cutting or diving to the rim. Blessington also put the ball on the floor for post ups and drives. He finished with 10 points and 5 boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kevin Kozicki | 6'2 W 2028 Archmere </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kozicki chipped in some baskets here and there with his play off the catch, but his biggest contribution came as a ball mover. Whether he was attacking closeouts or standing still, he exploited tilted defenses with his passes that set up others to score. Then he pulled down some must-have boards down the stretch. In all, Kozicki chipped in 8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists &amp; 1 steal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2767455' first='Khaleef' last='Wilson'] | 6'0 G 2029 Archmere </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In his high school debut, Wilson made an impact on both sides of the ball. At the defensive point of attack, he used his agility and quick hands to wrestle the ball away from opposing guards and take it the other way for two. And on offense, Wilson was either getting to the lane off the dribble or spacing the floor. He evaded defenders with different moves in the paint and splashed a trio of threes to finish with a game-high 17 points, plus 2 assists &amp; 4 steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex Hudson | 6'2 W 2026 Tower Hill </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With his spatial awareness, Hudson made a lot of subtle plays that were crucial for the Hillers. He cleaned the glass on offense for a couple putbacks. And in addition to hitting his teammate on cuts to the basket, he caught the defense slipping with some cuts of his own. Hudson tallied a well-rounded 13 t, 5 rebounds &amp; 4 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2614922' first='Kalil' last='Riley'] | 6'5 W 2027 Tower Hill </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley's ability to play without the ball flashed on both ends of the floor. He slipped past the defense for halfcourt layups, transition buckets, and second-chance points. Defensively, Riley anchored the defense as well as made plays in space. He altered shots around the baskets on some possessions and deflected passes on the perimeter. His 16 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks &amp; steal kept the Hillers afloat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
