<p>The biggest performers from Saturday got their praise, and deservedly so. But they weren't the only players of note. Here are five additional prospects who were vital to their team's success:</p>

<p>A stout lead guard, Bah helped the Tigers to weather the storm and set up the come-from-behind victory over MOT Charter. He did a good job accentuating their ball movement and facilitating to a variety of players on his team. Meanwhile, he hit the occasional shot to keep the defense honest, including a pair of spot-up threes. His quick decision-making was invaluable as he put up 12 points, 5 boards, and 4 assists. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1608248' first='Nafis' last='Dubose'] | 6'2 W 2026 Sankofa </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The senior slasher repeatedly knifed to the basket versus William Penn. Dubose used his wide shoulders to mete out and absorb contact as he barreled through the lane. His strength was also crucial for him finishing at the rim and making his way to the free throw line (6-8 FT). Dubose also lent his physical tools to the team's collective effort on the boards as he led the Warriors with 14 points and 6 rebounds. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2815764' first='Kohen' last='Gaines'] | 6'5 F 2028 MOT Charter </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gaines was a steadying presence for the Mustangs against Camden Eastside. Even when he wasn't scoring, his effort cleaning the glass was key to getting the ball back and allowing the team to get out in transition. Furthermore, Gaines was efficient and effective catching the ball in space. Whether he was cutting to the hoop or using his face up game, the sophomore forward chipped in easy points, tallying 11 points and 9 rebounds. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427328' first='Reggie' last='Moore'] | 5'9 G 2027 Friends Select</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moore complemented McLaurin's post game with his own paint touches and shots from the perimeter. The Falcons lead guard started out hot with three big triples in the first quarter. He already had an explosive first step, but the threes forced defenders to play him even closer, which opened up the driving lanes for him. So Moore dashed past his man and the helper to tilt the defense in his team's favor. He found his guys on kick outs and got to the cup down the stretch to give the Falcons a fighting chance. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2459417' first='Kyndal' last='Riley-Garlick'] | 6'2 G 2028 William Penn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While his cousin Boogie Whitaker was busy lighting up Sankofa, Riley-Garlick was stuffing the stat sheet in other ways. He got after it on boards, making multiple efforts to pull down the ball while also colliding with bigger forwards in the paint. Some of his rebounds came after he walked up at the rim and others while refusing to be boxed out on offense. Riley-Garlick spaced the floor with his jumper too, drilling a pair of threes and hitting one from the mid-range. In total, he had 12 points, 11 rebounds, a couple stocks, and several assists. </p>
