Who Took Over Butler vs PRP Rivalry Night?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pleasure Ridge Park (15-7) hosted Butler (19-5) on Friday night in a 6th Region matchup that lived up to the rivalry hype. Set to the backdrop of a sold-out gymnasium at Charles W. Miller Complex and a massive PRP student section, the visiting Bears managed to remain undefeated in the 6th Region. Here's a recap of a few standout performers:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563828"],"_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-699114397634a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson was the most valuable volume scorer on the court on Friday night. He scored the first 7 points of the contest for the Bears and stayed aggressive throughout. He also showed impressive initiative on the defensive side of the ball. He finished with team highs in points (16), rebounds (5), and steals (4), in addition to pitching in 2 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1563829"],"_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-69911439763de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As expected, Heath displayed enough poise in a tough road environment for Butler to come out on top. With shots struggling to fall for the Bears at times, Heath stepped up in big moments, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in the 2nd quarter to put Butler up 2. He finished with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819386"],"_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-6991143976432"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barjolo's impact won't always show up on the stat sheet, but those who saw it live can attest. His combination of athleticism, lateral quickness and intensity has the ability to smother opposing offensive players which was on display Friday night. Not to mention a crazy one-handed poster attempt in the 2nd quarter that shocked the crowd.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2830382"],"_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-6991143976477"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As the only freshman on the court, Lowery displayed huge upside in limited minutes on Friday. His 3-pointer as the clock wined down in the 3rd quarter pulled Butler within 1 of PRP. He also showcased some crafty footwork on several occasions that led to Buckets for the Bears. He capped off a solid night by knocking down both free throw attempts to put Butler up 7 with 35 seconds left in the contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2859748"],"_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-69911439764b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although not the most efficient night for Jenkins, he demanded respect as PRP's most threatening offensive weapon. His athleticism and ability to knock down difficult shots off the dribble as an undersized guard was impressive throughout the game. He played with grit until the end of regulation and finished with a team high 16 points along with 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565742"],"_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-69912ca7eeed9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gray is another uber-athletic guard whose impact doesn't always have to show up on the stat sheet for it to be felt. He set the tempo on the defensive side of the ball for PRP with a huge block to start the game that energized the crowd. Later in the contest he led an impressive series that included a crafty layup followed by a charge drawn on the other end. He finished with a game high 8 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2870232"],"_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-69912ca7eef23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On a team full of outstanding athleticism, Gabriel's abilities still managed to cause shockwaves at times on Friday. His successful block on a Butler fast break layup attempt was possibly the most impressive play of the night. His stoic nature on court also stood out given the intensity of the environment. At no point throughout the contest did Gabriel seem shaken or sped up by the moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
