DIAA Quarterfinals Action: Backcourt Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In addition to the lead guards, there were a number of combo guards, shooting guards, and wings who played pivotal roles for their teams in the Quarterfinals. Here are five of the most notable: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2352458"],"_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-69b03afd72495"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lane is poised to trade one Wildcat jersey for another this summer, but he put on for the Eastside on Saturday with a monster two-way performance. The WilmingtonU signee hit his first of three triples in the opening quarter, followed by multiple trips to the hoop. He got clean looks at the rim by picking off passes, crashing the boards, and attacking off the catch. That allowed him to be productive whether he was scoring or not. In total, Lane led the team with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 stocks (2s 1b). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2352453"],"_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-69b03afd72505"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back in the Starr lineup, Little's insistence on attacking the second and third levels of the defense gave the Senators a comfortable lead from the outset that they never relinquished. He flashed middle for quick drives to the cup and touch shots in the paint. Little also exploited the Smryna defense as it was rotating and got to his spots off the catch. Finally, he hit four free throws to seal the win and total 16 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2459417"],"_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-69b03afd7254f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bit-by-bit, Riley-Garlick chipped away at Sallies to put Dub P in position to win. Without any splash plays, he created extra possession with his offensive rebounds, facilitated from different spots on the floor, and forced the offense into tough shots. And when his team needed points of their own, Riley-Garlick made that happen too, with bruising post-ups and drives. He totalled 15 points, 10 boards, 4 assists, and 3 stocks (2s 1b).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2364685"],"_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-69b03afd72593"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In an effort to neutralize Howard's up tempo attack, Tingle threw his weight around for some athletic plays of his own. He kept the Wildcats from playing above the rim by rejecting shots and deflecting passes. Offensively, the UDel QB commit made tremendous plays on the glass and spread the ball around to his teammates. In the third, he grabbed a board and instantly shot it from the second level. Then in the fourth, he turned a rebound into a pull-up three. In total, Tingle filled every corner of the stat sheet with 7 points, 9 boards, 5 assists, and 4 stocks (1s 3b).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2564246"],"_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-69b03afd725d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Starting fast on both ends, Williams did whatever was necessary to beat Caravel. With 10 points in the first half, he knocked down shots from different levels - a couple fastbreak layups, a middy, and a pull-up trey. Then in the second, he facilitated. The speedy guard conducted the Hawks' transition offense and created advantages for others around the basket. He finished the game with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
