These 5 Hidden Gems Shined in the 3A Great 8

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 3A Great 8 always brings a bigger stage, and with it come opportunities for players to step up and make a name for themselves. While the stars often grab the headlines, several under-the-radar players delivered big performances when it mattered most, helping their teams compete for a Final Four spot and putting themselves firmly on the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Use code dev30 for 30% off </strong>and secure access as we're finishing up in the postseason, so you don't miss any of our scouting. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2257252"],"_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-69b44ad647ca7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holloway is an X factor and a dog-like mentality player who can heat up at any time. It's about culture over there, and he brings exactly what they need at times. In their Great 8 game, he provided a spark with 9 points and made it so that the defense had to keep an eye on them. While everyone else was getting a ton of attention, he was the one who was quietly making big plays happen, and that matters. This team is battle-tested, and he brings them a reliable source of production. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2962614"],"_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-69b44ad647d21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson is a player who stands out in every single way. He's 6'10 and that size is overwhelming for opposing teams. He uses his length to alter shots, and that was the difference in the game and why Windsor Charter had a chance to keep their season alive. He's 6'10, moves well and is starting to come into his own. This was a game where his size was needed and he protected the paint. He made some big plays in the game and is a player who we hope to see this summer and Fall as he has a chance to really turn some heads. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2395303"],"_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-69b44ad647d6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Forge Christian keeps their season alive as they slow it down and grind it out, and a player that really stood out in their win was [player_tooltip player_id='2395303' first='Sebastian' last='Still']. He's versatile, he shoots it, gets to his spots, and fills the boxsheet. Still is a player who doesn't have to score to be involved, he's productive on both ends of the floor, and he hits big shots. Big shot making is going to be needed in this gam,e and he answers that bill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2506295"],"_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-69b44ad647db3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stewart was the surprise standout for me of the entire 3A Great 8 run. He had himself quite the day and jumped onto our radars and into the rankings with his play against CSCS. He finished with 17 big-time points. Stewart finished down the lane, hit timely buckets, played hard and runs the floor, and the ball found him due to his ability to work. He was getting steals and was the big reason for them advancing. They're going to keep playing as long as he's bringing these kinds of performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2506296"],"_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-69b44ad647df7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2506296' first='Dominic' last='Lewis'] is another name who caught our attention and will be making a debut in the rankings based on how he played in their Great 8 win. He was slashing working the baseline, he hit timely FT's which ultimately won them the game, and calmed the team down as he played under control, so it was shocking to find out he was only a sophomore. He had 3 key steals in the game, found the open man and did a bit of everything in the game. Looking at his stats, it appears that he's a big game merchant who steps up when the moment is right and that is something you can build around. We're excited to see how he plays in the Final 4, but he's a player who is now on the radar. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
