<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">High school season is right around the corner. It’s time we start to preview it. Players are more anxious than ever to prove themself after a shortened season last year due to COVID. Eastern Massachusetts has lots of talent this coming season, and here are some players you should keep an eye out for.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2"><b>Newton North, Matthew Randall, class Junior, position guard, HT 6’1</b></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Mathew Randall is a very athletic guard, who has a versatile, and all around skill set. He can get to the basket well, and even play above the rim.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Mathew proved he could make an impact as an underclassman on varsity, and I expect him to take a big jump for his junior season. Matthew and his twin brother Tyler will be a good duo for the Tigers this coming season. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="1081794" first="Sawyer" last="Mayhugh"], Weston, HT 6’10, Position center, class senior </b></span></p>
<p>Sawyer is a high flying above the rim player. Sawer has a great touch around the rim, and finishes well. Sawer uses his long reach to finish over players. Sawer is also able to stretch the floor with his shooting. When you have someone who is 6’10 and can shot and post up, that is very tough to defend. For his size Sawer moves very well. The combination of size and skill makes sawer a very impactful player. Sawer has the game to play at the college level, and even maybe the division 1 level.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><b>Itai Alinsky, Newton south, Position F, HT 6’5, class senior</b><br />
Itay is a tall strong forward who is great on the glass, and a very high percentage finisher, and shot maker. Itai is aggressive off the dribble and can take any defender and get to the basket. Itai will be a difference maker for the lions this season, who are coming off winning the DCL.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><b>Ryan Mela Natick, position F, class Junior, HT 6’6</b></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">When you think of players to watch this season in Eastern Massachusetts Ryan Mella has to come to mind. Ryan had a monster sophomore season. Ryan is a dominant player, and can take over any game. Ryan had a game with 30 point 17 rebounds last season. Ryan is very skilled, athletic, and strong. Ryan can take his game to very high levels. Ryan Was named metro west Boston player of the year for this past season.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2"><b>Kevin Coppinger Needham, Position F, Class Senior, HT 6’4</b></span></p>
<p>Kevin has a good inside and out game. He can hit shots from the outside, and can also score in the paint. Kevin scores a lot second of chance points. Kevin moves very well with out the ball. Kevin is a smart player, who has the game to play at the college level. </p>
