He led TJ in scoring with 26 points. Fry can also be a threat to rebound the ball. He gets a majority of his points in the paint and spends his fair share of time at the charity stripe. He had good timing going up to alter shots. Fry has size and length can be opposing for defenders to keep up with. I want to see him continue to develop his perimeter game, think he could be more consistent out there. Fry was effective using his bounce pass to find others. I also feel if his handle was tighter he would turn the ball over less. He tracks as a scholarship prospect and think he would be an ideal fit for many of the western PA independent grassroots programs in need of size and scoring pop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2876148"],"_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-699a831a9c8e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trklja was a mainstay on the interior or both ends of the floor and frequently made things occur. One of his best skillsets is his willingness to rebound the basketball, and has no issue going and finding it. He was also able to finish through distress. Trklja made the most of his chances at the charity stripe. He had 16 2nd half points which was one of the reasons why TJ was able to hold on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2949804"],"_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-699a831a9c942"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hawthorne went unconscious in the 4th quarter exploding for 30 points in the final eight minuets and put the game back into reach for his Penn Hills team. He waits in the bushes and lulls defenders asleep and then makes an eye popping play when they are tired. He lives in the paint and did a nice job getting by defenders to get to the cup. He spent a fair amount of time at the foul line but left some points on the board there. Hawthorne should see traction at the division two level, junior college level and would be a great addition at the prep school level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2877399"],"_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-699a831a9c988"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sear provided some offensive depth for TJ with his ability to stretch the floor connecting on several shots from behind the arc. He added nine points. Spends a lot of the game hunting shots off the basketball. Sear is a player who is an in-between guard but with improve with his handle he could become more of a combo-guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3513870"],"_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-699a831a9c9c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is a quick guard who willed his way into the paint throughout the night for Penn Hills. He added a spark with his 13 with 8 of which came in the first half. Robinson was effective at the foul line. He should grow into a larger role next season and look forward to tracking his growth. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
