Arosco Dubois
Arosco Dubois
Dubois was huge for Evans in Tuesday’s win, finishing with a team-high 18 points on 4 of 8 shooting from beyond the arc. The Trojans leading scorer this season with over 16 per contest, the sophomore was also a force to be on the defensive end in the semifinals – racking up a trifecta of steals.
The Trojans second leading scorer on the season (15ppg), Escontrias is a lethal mid-range shooter and extremely active defensively. The 6-3 senior posted over four rebounds, nearly two assists and over 1.5 steals per game in 25 appearances this season.
Blackmon led the way with four steals for an Evans team that racked up 14 in their semifinal victory. When he’s not wreaking havoc in the passing lanes, the senior forward is a force to be reckoned with on the glass, posting over nine per game on the season.
Eberson Charles
Eberson Charles
Charles was huge in the Trojans victory over Hagerty, finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. A true do-it-all player, the senior can make an impact in a variety of ways on either side of the floor.
Dominic Sanders
Dominic Sanders
The workhorse for the Grenadiers all season, Sanders leads Colonial in points (16.2), assists (3) and steals (4.3) through 29 games. The senior guard is just as talented sizing up his defender into a pull-up jumper as he is forcing pressure on the defensive end. Sanders can beat teams in a variety of ways and is as unselfish as it comes offensively.
Stitcher Timo
Stitcher Timo
One of the twin towers in this Colonial rotation, Timo ranks second on the team this season in rebounds (8.2) and blocks (2.1). The 6-6 senior forward plays with an extremely high motor on both ends of the floor, seeming to never be out of it to scoop up a miss or reject a shot. Timo compliments his play with a jumper you need to respect and the ability to put the ball on the deck to create his own offense.
Emmanuel Rislin
Emmanuel Rislin
The team leader in rebounds (9) and blocks (3.3), Rislin uses every inch of his 6-8 frame with his length and ability to stay wide. On top of this, the senior is also insanely quick with or without the ball in his hands. Rislin uses his body very well on the block, using that quickness to spin around defenders from the post to get easy dunks.
