Class 4A State Title: Cascia Hall takes down Douglass

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first quarter was a track meet between the squads, finishing with Cascia on top 18-17. As the second progressed Cascia's barrage of three point shooting proved to be too much. With it crescendoing in a victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2323191"],"_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-69b47a8f85b94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Always a knockdown shooter and player who made winning plays, Duffie took a leap this year. By taking the reigns and being the leader of a State Championship team. One of the best examples of his development as a playmaker is the dime he dropped to end the first half. Likely not a true point at the next level, but now is a versatile offensive weapon. With the size to cover 1-3 as well on defense. Finished with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, to cap off an awesome week and season. No brainer for Low-Mid Major programs looking to add shooting, savviness and a winner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140733"],"_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-69b47a8f85cd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Team high 24 points for the explosive scorer. He took advantage of one one matches and COOKED off the dribble. Has nasty mid-range game, where the threat of his extra gear gets defenders' on their heels. When he's on fire, he's a joy to watch as a pure bucket getter. Hopefully the strong ending to his junior season is a spring board for a good 17U AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3191948"],"_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-69b47a8f85bfc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What an evolution of Konkol's game as a junior. Has developed into one of the more reliable floor spacers in the junior class. Starting to even having some sauce when ran off the line and scoring in the mid-range. Was one of the four Commandos in double figures with 15 points in this dub. Eager to see his confidence continue to grow this grassroots season, as Konkol has turned the corner into being a bonafide collegiate prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2327107"],"_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-69b47a8f85c48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Poindexter is the rug that ties the room together for the Commandos. At his size and with his massive wingspan he can often be found doing the dirty work with rebounds, blocks and even the occasional big time slam. He went for 14 points to put a capper on a breakout junior season that saw Poindexter only start to scratch the surface of his potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552385"],"_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-69b47a8f85c90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The best aspect of Morris' game is something that can't be measured by stats. It's by watching the heart he plays with. A great example of a senior who left it on the court. Always played with fantastic energy on both ends. and he's pure grit and toughness as a finished at the bucket. Plays much bigger then his skinny 6 foot 4 frame. Knows angles, footwork and pumpfakes to find openings around the rim. Even after he checked out of the game, he showed maturity by cheering on the reserves who closed out the game. Type of prospect who grinds his way to a long and successful college career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2332741"],"_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-69b47a8f85d60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tough ending to an otherwise very good week for the sophomore. He was the hero on Tuesday night in the clutch, and had a similar clutch moment to force overtime in Douglass' Thursday win. Down three, he drove, hit a tough floater against a late sliding defender. And then drained the free throw to help force OT. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Friday he still finished with 15 points. His development as a skilled and controlled scorer has been good this season. Good floater game and other moves to survive amongst the trees. And has been a reliable three pointer shooter. The game slowed down for him some this year, and should continue to as he makes steps in the right direction of becoming a college player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
