As the team's third leading scorer, his 9.6 points and 3.9 rebounds provide dependable production every night. At 6'3, he has the size to impact the game on both ends, whether it's finishing plays, rebounding or defending multiple positions.

Averaging 15.7 points and 10.6 rebounds, he impacts the game every possession with his energy and competitiveness. He plays quick and decisive, making smart reads and creating opportunities for himself and others. His relentless work on the glass fuels extra possessions, while his ability to score at all three levels makes him a constant matchup problem for opponents</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2764910"],"_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-697902eff22b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stokes continues to be a steady scoring presence for Thomas MacLaren, leading the way with 13.8 points per game. A quick, versatile guard, he plays with confidence and control, using his handle and vision to create scoring chances for himself and teammates. He's especially effective in the mid range, where he can pull up or attack off the dribble. Add in his ability to push the pace and score in transition, and he consistently keeps pressure on opposing defenses</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2767135"],"_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-697902eff2374"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winnett is the catalyst for Air Academy's 9–5 record, leading the way as their top playmaker with 12 points and 3 assists per game. At 6'3, his ability to slide between guard and forward gives the offense flexibility and matchup advantages. He handles the ball with confidence, sees the floor well and consistently puts teammates in position to score. On the other end his tough nosed defense and versatility allow him to guard multiple positions and set the tone defensively</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381332"],"_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-697902eff2401"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walter has been a major factor in Timnath's perfect 13–0 start, providing a strong and reliable presence on both ends of the floor. At 6'4, he uses his size and strength to establish himself inside and finish through contact, while also stretching the defense with a confident mid range and three point shot. Averaging 9.6 points and 4.7 rebounds, he plays with edge and physicality, making every possession tough for opponents and setting the tone for Timnath's success</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2401863"],"_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-697902eff248c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blankenship is the steady senior leader for Heritage, bringing value well beyond the box score. Averaging 6.5 points per game, he impacts winning in a variety of ways, doing whatever the team needs on a given night. He plays with poise and toughness, sets the tone defensively and makes the right plays offensively. His leadership, versatility and ability to affect the game on both ends of the floor make him an essential piece to Heritage's success</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
