The strong and athletic small forward was a force on the glass consistently getting second chance points rebounding extremely well in traffic and using his quick second jump to make things happen.&nbsp; Played above the rim throwing down slams on a baseline out of bounds alley-oop along with getting really high up on a pick/roll slam.&nbsp; Mixed in a pull up jumper and transition score along with being active on the defensive end as he notched 15 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552438' first='Mason' last='Lockett IV'] (Oswego East – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The DePaul commit didn't shoot it as well as he usually does from the perimeter, but was still productive in the win.&nbsp;

Turned them into points on the other end as he finished with 11 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2617424' first='Marc' last='Sanchez-Giron'] (Oswego East – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Oswego East big man was super productive playing within himself.&nbsp; Most of his 17 points came of finishes out of the dunker spot, rim runs, and playing with physicality through contact inside.&nbsp; Seals well inside and has nice touch around the basket.&nbsp; Can see him playing at small college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2918462' first='R'mani' last='Sims'] (Oswego East – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sims gave Oswego East a spark in the first half as the guard buried a couple of threes along with a nice and-1 in transition for 8 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zayn Manalodi (Oswego East – 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'11” senior point guard was assertive throughout the game as he got to the foul line, won on sweeping drives, and was slick through traffic for 7 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2532003' first='Joey' last='Jakstys'] (Yorkville – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jakstys is a long and bouncy wing with skill.&nbsp;
