A good defender, Darian is currently shooting 49/41/70 for a Seneca team that is having a very good season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2712673"],"_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-6961341e2681b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A good scorer who is having a really strong start for a DuBois squad that is off to the best start in school history, Khail is proving to be a solid secondary option for the Lions this season.

With his ability to score well and get to the free throw line, Bartley is starting to see his name ring with some colleges this season, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
