<p>The Border League took place this weekend. The event which took place throughout the Gilbert area featured over 80 teams. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the top Local performers from the event.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="827004" first="Blessing" last="Nwotite"] <em>6’2 SG Paradise Honors 2022 (#35PHA 2022)</em> - Nwotite’s strength and athleticism alone impacted games. However, his ability to score in transition and knock down mid range jumpers landed him on this list. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="827049" first="Pascal" last="Volz"] <em>6’0 PG McClintock 2022 (#70PHA 2022)</em> - Loved what I saw from Volz. His ability to be a corner 3 point specialist helped McClintock reach the championship game of the Nevada bracket. His handle, high IQ and ability to create for teammates make him an intriguing prospect. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="934598" first="Jaylen" last="Wesley"] <em>6’3 PF McClintock 2022 (#76PHA 2022)</em> <em>(feature image)</em> - I’m a big fan of rebounders therefore, I’m a huge fan of Wesley. The undersized PF was relentless in going after the basketball. He grabbed both in and out of area rebounds alike. In addition to the rebounding, the high motor forward was a dedicated rim runner that time and time again beat opponents down the floor for easy layups. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="703850" first="Wyatt" last="Bell"] <em>6’0 CG Paradise Honors 2021 (#93PHA 2021)</em> - I love watching players that make big shots when the game is on the line. The Air Force commit did just that on Friday night for PH. In addition to his 3 point shooting, the 6’0 combo displayed a crafty ability to get into the lane and knock down clutch mid-range jumpers.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="933538" first="Jake" last="Lifgren"] <em>6’0 PG Centennial 2022 (#46PHA 2022)</em> - Lifgren is a scoring machine that displayed an uncanny ability to get buckets. He splashed from deep when left open, showed enough wiggle to get to the rim, and was a creative finisher around the hoop. He was terrific helping his Centennial squad to a 3-1 record on the weekend. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops</a></p>
