RHODE ISLAND PLAYERS WHO MADE AN IMPACT

<p>Despite Covid, and games getting moved around, Rhode Island high school basketball had a good season. Here we look at high school players from Rhode Island who made an impact this season. </p> <p><strong>David Lynch, Bishop Hendricken, position G, HT 6-4, class Junior</strong></p> <p>At 6-4 David is one of the bigger guards on the court. David has a very quick first step. He can handle the ball very well, and create plays.  David is an impact player. Against La Salle academy he had a double double with 13 points and thirteen rebounds. David cuts hard and is constantly moving with out the ball. David is a scorer and also does a good job following his shot. I think David is in for a big senior year. </p> <p><strong>Keith Wilson, ST. Patrick Academy, Position G, class Junior</strong></p> <p>Keith is the first thousand point scorer in school history. Against Paul Cuffe Keith had 25 points, 3 steals and 5 assists. Keith is an athletic player, who is a dominate scorer. Keith has shown he can take over a game at any time. Keith controls his body very well. He can score in many ways. He comes off screens very hard, and has great finishing touch. Keith has been rising his stock a lot, and is showing how he can make any team he is on better. </p> <p><strong>Alex Johnson, West Warwick, Position F, HT 6-1, class Senior</strong></p> <p>Alex has been a beast on the boards this season averaging 14 rebounds a game. He is an undersized forward, but just always finds the right spot to be in to rebound. Alex can stretch the floor and shoot as well. Alex has also shown his court vision with his nice passing ability. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Quinn Koritck, West Warwick, position G, HT 5-9, class Junior</strong></p> <p>A personal favorite stat of mine is charges. At 5-9 Quinn leads Rhode Island in Charges taken. Quinn may not be the biggest on the court, but he’s not afraid to put his body out for the team. Quinn continues to fight for his spot in the rotation, and makes the most of every opportunity he gets.  Something that should not go unnoticed is I like the way he fought through the screens on defense, and did not get switched on a miss match. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1081842" first="Jake" last="Bender"], ST George’s. position G/F, HT, 6-3, class Junior</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1081842" first="Jake" last="Bender"] is a very talented guard. Jake can score in the paint with ease. He can change speed on a dime, and also makes great passes when he draws the defense. Jake can finish well with both hands. Jake is very athletic and you will see him throw down dunks at times. I think Jake has the talent and work ethic to play at the D1 mid major level. </p>
