Constitution, the top seed out of District 12, took care of business on its home floor and defeated District 1's second seed, Church Farm, in a low-scoring 38-33 affair. Senior swingman [player_tooltip player_id='3547932' first='Jacob' last='Mitchell'] led the way with 13 points while Church Farm senior [player_tooltip player_id='2710249' first='Carl' last='Raymond'] countered with a game-high 14.    Leading the way in a grimy game was Mitchell, a senior who's been among the Generals' catalysts all season. A long and broad swingman with quick feet and a strong upper body, he was active and aggressive on the margins on both ends of the floor, flowing consistently towards the rim for rebounds and tough finishes. He operated effectively as a secondary ballhandler, and showed flashes as a floor-spacer out to the perimeter, though didn't seem to be too consistent in that regard. Mitchell lacks a true position at the scholarship level but could help a lot of JUCO or small-college programs with his toughness and versatility.     The most consistent spark for either team in an offensive slog on both ends, Raymond took on a substantial load for Church Farm and delivered with a relatively efficient 14 points. Tasked with extensive ballhandling and shot creation responsibilities, he impressed with his ability to handle against ball pressure for his size, playing at a mature pace and using his sturdy frame to keep aggressive defenders at bay. Raymond showed polish and touch as a midrange pullup shooter with nice footwork in the paint to evade defenders and finish smoothly at the rim. The New York native could make a nice impact as a jumbo guard at the small-college level, with upside as a scholarship player if he were to show growth as a perimeter shooter and playmaker for others.     He didn't light up the scoring column, but it's fair to say that Brown was Constitution's two-way leader throughout the contest. The tough-nosed lead guard was a pitbull on both ends of the floor, controlling the point of attack with his sturdy handle and relentless ball pressure. He was consistently bothersome as an on-ball defender, forcing a handful of Church Farm's 20 turnovers, while quarterbacking the offense as the Generals' primary ballhandler and only consistent facilitator. His vocal leadership helped provide a coach on the floor. He looked to be a bit limited as an individual scorer but Brown projects as a future small-college gem at the lead guard spot.     The top-ranked prospect on either team, Mabior was a bit limited by turnover issues that plagued his backcourt, but nonetheless managed to flash his long-term potential. His primary impact came on the defensive end, where he played both inside and out while manning the wing in Church Farm's aggressive zone. He was a consistent presence as a shot blocker while contributing with his length on the boards. It would help to see him in an offensive context that could highlight his strengths as a dumpoff finisher, lob threat, and occasional floor-spacer, but Mabior's ceiling remains intriguing given his raw tools and steady two-way engagement while being on the very young side of his class.     Another intriguing long-term piece in Church Farm's frontcourt, Agbor flashed some translatable skills as a physical presence inside. He showed an understanding of how to play big on both ends of the floor, demonstrating solid footwork near the rim offensively and an ability to use either hand as a finisher. Agbor also flashed some effectiveness playing with Mabior in the high-low game. He has to get more consistent as a finisher and could look to be a bit more aggressive on both ends but has the tools to develop into a nice small-college big in time.
