<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final games of District are underway and these games determine District Champions as well as honors in different hoop communities. District implications, playoff implications. These are the days where coaches lock in their rotations and giving some last minute game time opportunities to show improvement in key areas. Here are some of the guys that are making noise in district competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2471637"],"_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-698f9386dc9bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rideau is a three and D guard, that handles the ball well and uses his skills to control the tempo of the game. He is a good shooter that knocks down shots in rhythm, off the dribble or in catch and shoot situations. Defensively he accepts the challenge of guarding the opposing tea's best player. His game has grown and his production has increased making him a stock riser in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543705"],"_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-698f9386dca82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tallion is an athletic wing that is taller than his listed 6'3. The most impressive part of his game is ability and willingness to fly around on defense and block shots. He is aggressive with the ball in his hands and works to get down hill. He has the size and athleticism for next level play and finishes easily through contact. Add in his ability to shoot and he is ready for college play. Coaches looking for a player with all of these skills and the size to match will enjoy this prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2415393"],"_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-698f9386dcb1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">George is a big wing that does it all. He can score at will and matches his offensive energy on the defensive side of the ball. He is a high IQ guard that uses the mid-range shot as his primary weapon making him complicated to control on the court. If the three ball is not there he can get to the rim, but if there is space in between he can pull up and score with high efficiency. George is another next level talent that is ready for College competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532372"],"_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-698f9386dcb9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mire has stepped into his Junior season demonstrating his refined game and style of play. He is a true three level scorer with high basketball IQ. Coaches often express the need for High IQ, tough and efficient guards to run their team at the next level. Mire has all of those characteristics but he goes beyond that and adds playmaking. Team players that excel in their roles make great teams, and Mire fits the bill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2330259"],"_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-698f9386dcc12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dean has adjusted to a new team and has found his role on this Championship contender. Dean is a Swiss army knife player. He does all of the dirty work and finds a way to score in the creases of the game. He crashes the boards and frustrates bigger defenders. He can knock down the three point shot, and uses his handle to get to his spots. He is quick decision maker and plays well with high scoring guards. Dean is a player to take a look at for a coach looking for a culture player that will fit in with any system. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The final games of District are underway and these games determine District Champions as well as honors in different hoop communities. District implications, playoff implications.
