Skaggs, Mills Highlight Senior Standouts in Tacoma

Here is a handful of senior standouts from day one at the Tacoma Dome. These guys showed up ready to go and gritted their way to some clutch performances for their teams.    17 pts   Did a great job initiating their offense, being an instigator with his penetration, and just made plays in the paint throughout the game. Made a few plays defensively with deflections and steals, and was efficient during crunch time to help seal the win.     22 pts 9 rebs 8/16 FG   Skaggs started the day looking to get to the rim, and it ended up working for most of the game. His creativity and quick burst with the ball were a difficult cover for the Mountainview defenders, and he mixed in enough pull-ups and open threes to keep the defense extended enough to open up driving lanes.     14 pts   Bennett started the game off hot, scoring eight first-quarter points before picking up a couple of early fouls. After sitting out most of the second quarter, he came back to hit some clutch second-half shots to go along with some great defense that helped the Jags build their lead and advance to the next round.     16 pts 6 rebs   The Emerald Ridge wing is a tough player to stop when he can catch in the midrange and in. He's able to get the first step on his man pretty consistently, and after getting to the rim and drawing some fouls inside, he opened up some good midrange looks in the second half.     11 pts 8 rebs 5 asts   He's a guy who has the mindset to come through in clutch moments and ended up having a few huge plays late in the game. In addition to setting some guys up off his drives, all three of his 3-pointers came in big spots, late in the shot clock, at the end of a quarter, and kept momentum on Glacier Peak's side.     19 pts 6 rebs   On a night where Auburn struggled to hit from deep, Henry dropped in three key shots behind the arc and was super-efficient in close too (5-of-7 2FG). He had a tough defensive assignment to start the game too, matching up with [player_tooltip player_id='1587955' first='Parker' last='Mills'].     16 pts 10 rebs 2 blks   He is so tough to stop when he gets deep position, and he gets it often. The big post has the footwork, strength, and poise to finish in a lot of ways inside, and he also showed his vision with some great passes out of different spots to shift the defense. He'll continue to be a tough matchup inside, and his poise helps the Rams work a great inside-out gameplan.
