Cape Fear Senior Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1136373" first="RJ" last="McDonald"]: Was aggressive throughout their matchup with TS, constantly attacking the defense by using his speed and athleticism but stepped up and hit some shots from the perimeter as well. Was locked in on the defensive side of the ball, causing some turnovers that helped his team get out into transition. Terry Sanford Sophomore Guard Parks Helms: His contributions were what put the Bulldogs over the top as he stepped up big time scoring the ball. His three point shooting was outstanding as usual but the intensity/energy that he brought to the court was huge for his team. Lumberton HS Junior Guard Cobe Oxendine: He didn’t see his first few shots drop but remained confident and started to find his rhythm in the 2nd quarter. Has good form and elevation on his shot, doesn’t need much space to get his shot off and wasn’t bothered by defensive pressure. He finished the night with a game high of twenty-four points with the majority of his points coming from three point land. Cape Fear HS Junior Guard Masuan Bryant: His scoring ability was on full display once again, knocking down shots from deep and getting into the paint to score at nice rate. He doesn’t need much space to get his shot off and has solid ballhandling skills which helps him to keep his turnovers low. St. Pauls HS Senior Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1317697" first="Josh" last="Henderson"]: His motor and desire to win are attributes that you certainly can’t question. He competes hard on both ends of the floor and was constantly on the attack offensively which would lead to him finishing with a team high of eighteen points. Lumberton HS Senior Guard JaMerel Brockington: Did a nice job running the show and getting his team into their sets. He plays the game at his own pace, takes high percentage shots , while rebounding and defending at a solid level without fouling. Has sneaky athleticism, quick hands and was a vocal leader on the court. St. Pauls Senior Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1032850" first="Jeyvian" last="Tatum"]: This wasn’t one of his better showings but he remained aggressive to score the ball. He displayed the ability to break down defenders, some deep shooting range and the potential he has to be a lockdown defender.
