It wasn't necessarily pretty in the first half, but the second half was much more comfortable and resulted in the Silver Foxes completing the season sweep over the Timberwolves. Check out What We Saw from Dutch Fork's 74-39 win over White Knoll, including [player_tooltip player_id='1972148' first='Justus' last='Bell']'s 1,000th-Career Point, a strong second half from [player_tooltip player_id='2380315' first='Peyton' last='Jennings'], and a potential breakout game from 2028 PG [player_tooltip player_id='2883308' first='Zavion' last='Anthony']:   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />    The very first thing we saw on Tuesday Night was a designed lob to [player_tooltip player_id='1972148' first='Justus' last='Bell']. He got off to quick starts with easy buckets on the first two possessions of each half, as well as crossing over the 1,000-Career Point mark with a highlight-reel and-one just before getting subbed out for an early rest. Despite struggling with a little bit of foul trouble, Justus flashed a little bit of what makes him a top-10 prospect in the 2026 class with versatile defensive playmaking, an ability to score or pass from the post, and a few impressive moments off the dribble.     Caleb was crucial to the Silver Foxes retaining a lead in the second quarter. Their three best players all picked up three personal fouls before halftime, so role players like Garner were called out to step up with big minutes. He did just that, punishing a smaller White Knoll lineup with a couple of second-chance points and some more physical play on the interior. Caleb has some good positional size at the high-school level, which could be useful for Dutch Fork during the playoffs, like it was tonight. He finished with 9 points and 7 rebounds in the win.     Coming into the night, [player_tooltip player_id='2883308' first='Zavion' last='Anthony'] averaged just 2.6 points per game and 1.6 assists per game in 20 appearances. However, in the second matchup with White Knoll, he exploded with 9 assists in one of the most impressive passing displays I've seen all season long. Anthony is far from a bench warmer and has contributed for the Silver Foxes, even going back to the June Scholastic Period, but it was awesome to see him pop off with a big night and potentially carve out a bigger role for himself heading down the stretch.     Jennings was a bright spot for the Timberwolves in the second half, scoring 11 of their 19 points over the final two quarters. He has been a constant this season for White Knoll, and tonight he was at his best when getting a defender one-on-one and taking them to the basket. But he also mixed in some efficient jump-shot making with a catch-and-shoot three and a mid-range pull-up. Not only is Peyton counted on to carry a big load offensively, but he is also a crucial defensive piece because he is one of the tallest players on their roster and has good instincts on the glass as well as in passing lanes.     Rounding out the list of what we saw from Tuesday's matchup between White Knoll and Dutch Fork is a solid night from White Knoll Point Guard [player_tooltip player_id='2248665' first='Tyzai' last='Smith']. The offense flowed well when Smith was running the show in the first half, including back-to-back assists to take a lead early in the first quarter. Tyzai went on to finish with 5 assists, along with 4 points and 6 assists, but he had several more key passes that should have resulted in points. Smith frequently used his fast foot speed and solid handle to beat defenders on the dribble in the half-court, always having his head up to find a passing lane when the rest of the defense collapsed around him.
