For the three tournament games Earl had 23/14, 34/7 and 57/14. Its a real testament to just how good and complete a player Raeshaun is as he gets all the attention from aposing teams and is still able to produce at such an elite level.

Thorpe shot lights out from three in this tournament hitting 13/24 from beyond the arc 🔥! Thorpe averaged 32.3ppg in districts but was also very solid in the rebounding department as well. In games 1-3 Thorpe had 33/10, 34/7 and 30/4. The three level scorer had the whole bag working for him in this tournament. Beau continues to step his game up as the season goes on for his team as they enter regionals as the #1 seed out of district 1.

Reese does alot for this team and does it all very well, ballhandling, scoring, rebounding, assists (i think his court vision has improved throughout the season also). He often gets tasked with guarding the other teams best guard and is always up to the task also. Whatever the team needs he provides, he always brings a ton of energy to both ends of the floor for his team also, plays with an edge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Wylie Rydell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Tri-State","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a9cfaede685"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wylie was a gamer having 23/4 vs Oakes and then coming back to put up 14/4 vs Bcn. Showed some noce offensive skills and ball handling. Each game wylie also chipped in 3-5 assists couple steals and some rebounds. Played aggressively both on offense and defense and definitely gave maximum effort. Listed at 6'0 he was a scrappy defender, using his quick hands and feet to make life miserable for the opposing offensive players.

That trend continued in districts so as Jayson went for 16/5, 18/5 and 22/7 in the three district games. He lead by example in all three games by taking charges, hustling for loose balls and bringing a ton of energy and effort to the game. He showed once again hes a three level scorer nocking down threes, middy jumpers and scoring in transition.

The game he had just 6 was the 3rd game after going 5/10 and 7/14 on threes and he got no good looks as defenders were literally glued to him. He showed a great shooting stroke and quick release from anywhere on the court. He didnt just shoot well he played solid defense also and grabbed rebounds, he had a very good all-round round tournament and was named to the all district team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2413967"],"_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-69a9d3730941b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Part of the three headed monster in Linton at the guard position they have. All three guards compliment eachother very well and all bring a unique skillset to the game for the lions. Brody the biggest and most overall athletic of the group did a great job rebounding and defending bigger guys along with chipping in 21-8-15. Richter hit several deep threes and in big moments as the tournament went on. Brody was also named to the All District Team </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2237766"],"_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-69a9dfbea67e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The smooth shooting lefty had a real nice district tournament nocking down threes, attacking the basket and scoring im transition. Jochim is one the of quickest guards with the ball in his hands has excellent change of pace and direction. Has a great lefty floater that rarely misses. Jayden not only scored well 20-13-11 in the tournament but its the pressure he puts on the defense and his ability to beat his defender and then find open teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2429661"],"_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-69a9dfbea6890"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Justin didn't have the biggest impact scoring in this tournament but anyone who watched the games understands his impact was felt defensively and creating for others this weekend. Making some big baskets in key situations when the team needed them in certain games is just part of what justin does game in and game out. His on ball defense and effort are next level and causes opposing guards fits all game long. Beating his man off the dribble and creating for teammates is routine for Justin and too easy at times, he was ultra unselfish and it was clear he wanted to get others involved early and often. Justin was also named to the all district team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2022583"],"_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-69a9dfbea691c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> Terek (Mr Big Shots) did just that in this tournament he made big shots after big shots each game. Kinzell averaged 16.5ppg in the tournament and nocked down a ton of key baskets in key moments. Jumpers, floaters, threes and transition baskets he had it going for him in this tournament. He also never gets enough credit for how solid of a defender he is and hes tasked with guarding the other teams best player. Hes very creative with the ball and getting to his spots to get his shot off. Terek was named to the all district team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2254493"],"_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-69a9e9ddecc7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everyone knows Grady can score 13-24-13 but its the attention he draws that opens everything up for eveyone else. He also doesn't get enough credit for his passing and play making ability. Hes got great touch in and around the basket, has a strong drive and doesn't shy away from contact when he gets to the basket. Solid defender with good length also allows him to get several deflections and easy fast break points.
