He score 26 points vs Rummel going 9/12 from the field and 3/5 from three point range. He is a tough guard that does all of the little things really well. He is crafty at getting to the goal and plays with his head up finding open team mates. He is also an elite shooter and this could be the year that he grows his name. Keep an eye out for this rising 2027 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543679"],"_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-696297d531e9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hicks is having a monster season and using his size to control the paint. He scored 27 points vs Arcadia in a tense rival game and added two dunks showing is athleticism. Hicks is developing right in front of our eyes and he could be the reason Lincoln Prep gets over the hump and brings home a state championship. Watch out for Hicks, he is playing with a ton of confidence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132751"],"_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-696297d531ee5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morgan is stacking impressive performances and vs Calvary Baptist scored 14 and was a difference maker on both ends of the court. Morgan is a strong and athletic guard that hangs his hat on defense, but his ability to finish at the rim is paying off for Ruston. He is a known three point shooter, and his ability to knock down that shot will make the Ruston bearcats an even more dangerous team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2674006"],"_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-696297d531f2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin is steadily putting together an impressive season. He is leading the Quitman team and doing it in elite fashion. If you have watched him play, you will find out quickly that he is a shooter. His improvement from last season is his ability to get to the rim, his willingness to facilitate and his overall aggressive approach to competing. Martin is developing fast and stepping into his game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Say tuned for more player evaluations around the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
