Lay as legit size down low on the block and a great set of hands. Jones finished several dunks around the rim today on his way to scoring 15 points and grabbing 9 rebounds according to my unofficial stats. Lay is great passer from the high post and continues to develop with his play. Jones does a great job of keeping the ball up high after claiming it off the boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Stickney Lives in the Lane: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1444154' first='Travis' last='Stickney']</strong> just brings winning attitude and toughness to the floor for the Landsharks. Travis lived in the lane all night long it seems if it came to finishing at the cup with either hand, leaving a pass off for a teammate or simply being in the middle of the action. Stickney is so good at using his body on the way to the basket protecting the rock. Travis scored 16 points in the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Thomas and Jones Help Landsharks Prevail: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2296778,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/eZy-Watermark_13-12-2023_08-00-57-9730AM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/eZy-Watermark_13-12-2023_08-00-57-9730AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2296778" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206191' first='Jake' last='Thomas']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206020' first='Carson' last='Jones']</strong> both helped out in the winning cause here tonight for the Landsharks.
