The top performers from the 3A state semifinals
Trinity Christian and Orlando Christian Prep moved on in the Class 3A state semifinals on Tuesday.
The Eagles (21-8) took down Champagnat Catholic 80-71 while Orlando Christian Prep (25-4) beat Southwest Florida Christian 67-49.
Here are the top performers from the day in 3A:
<strong>Amorie Archibald (Trinity Christian)</strong>
No one scored more points than the 6'3" senior on Tuesday. Archibald dropped 43 points, matching a career-high along with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Slowing him down was not possible.
<strong>Nassir Little (Orlando Christian Prep)</strong>
Little kept Orlando Christian Prep alive and well with 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field. The 6'6" junior forward can knock down jumpers and use his pure athleticism to work the ball inside.
<strong>Braithe Ferguson (Champagnat Catholic)</strong>
The Lions stayed afloat largely because of Ferguson's 27 point, nine rebound performance. A 6'5" senior, he certainly didn't go down without a fight.
<strong>Marlon Bradley (Trinity Christian)</strong>
Only a sophomore, the 6'3" guard added a double double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Bradley was aggressive when he needed to be and provided plenty of energy for his group.
<strong>CJ Walker (Orlando Christian Prep)</strong>
Walker scored 11 points and grabbed nine boards. The 6'7" sophomore battled foul trouble but made enough happen while he was in the game with his 5-of-7 shooting night.
<strong>Caleb Catto (Southwest Florida Christian)</strong>
The junior guard didn't have his best game. However, Catto still managed to score a team-high 18 points. The 6'5" forward is a streaky shooter, but when he gets going, he's hard to slow down.
<strong>Stephon Johnson (Champagnat Catholic)</strong>
A 5'10" junior point guard, Johnson recorded 13 points in 15 minutes on the floor for the Lions. He was crafty inside and has some serious jets.
