<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the season plays out, more and more players will step up for their squads.

He notched 15 points, grabbed 7 boards and picked up 3 steals. That's a nice stat line to say the least. McCoy is a terrific all around athlete, if my memory serves me correctly, he already has a football offer. Well, football players can hoop too and McCoy is evidence of that. He's quick and shifty with fluid body control and movement.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2464624"],"_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-6973a1534f4d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Callan has been regarded as one of the top players in the class of 2028 since before he stepped in a high school basketball game. He continues to prove it to be correct. Lumen Christi picked up a marquee 59-57 win against Detroit Loyola, another team with Breslin Center type talent. Callan paced his team with 21 points in the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Landon Lutz","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Berkley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6973a1534f571"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lutz has made my pages a couple times now in his freshman season. His team posted a second consecutive victory with a win against Waterford Kettering. Lutz didn't play like a freshman in this game. He finished the contest with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2862928"],"_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-6973a1534f5be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eastpointe picked up an impressive 66-54 win against Marine City. Johnson was lights out in the victory. The shifty guard dropped in a game high 25 points. He also added 5 assists which means that he had a hand in over 50% of his team's total points. Johnson is a player to keep an eye on as the season plays out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

As the season plays out, more and more players will step up for their squads. Sometimes those are skilled freshman and sophomores that are ready to be high influence high school basketball players. We're going to look at some of the underclassmen that have had recent standout performances.
