<p>In the intense Flight B matchup versus Concord, Conrad lit up the defense with buckets at the rim in transition and shots from beyond the arc. His hustle after defensive stops compromised the Raiders as he repeatedly slipped past them for layups. His versatile shooting was potent as well. Conrad knocked down threes above the break, relocating off-ball, and pulling up from deep to total 29 points (4 threes), 5 rebounds and 2 steals. </p>

<p>With Haley dominating inside the arc, Griffing made some splash plays outside it. After playing off the catch for a mid-range jumper, he splashed two threes in the first quarter, including one that made Odyssey Charter pay for pressing fullcourt. Griffing spread the ball around too, particularly on entry passes to the big guy, Haley. Lastly, he got active on defense to finish with 17 points (3 threes), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. </p>

<p>Facing Odyssey Charter at Grail Sports, Haley cleaned up virtually every miss off the glass and converted them in to points for the Lions. On putbacks as well as post-ups, he effortlessly laid the ball off the backboard for one bucket after another. And even when it was obvious the ball was coming to him and when defenders hacked away at his arms, Haley stood tall in the paint and absorbed the contact. As such, he finished the contest with a grand total of 34 points, 12 rebounds and the win. </p>

<p>Carlin Hollis | 6'0 G 2026 Concord </p>

<p>Hollis would not be denied when the Raiders faced the Tigers from A.I. DuPont. Despite his size as a guard, he relentlessly crashed the boards, especially in offense where he scored 8 second-chance points. Hollis showed toughness around the rim as well. He barreled through defenders on his drives and played through contact. His 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals kept the team afloat. </p>

<p>With his commitment to pressuring the ball on defense and getting to the rim on offense, Jones played a pivotal role against Concord. He took two steals coast-to-coast for transition buckets. He also just limited the Raiders ability to get into the lane. And with the ball in his hands, Jones created several paint touches to either score or collapse the defense for teammates. He tallied 14 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals. </p>
