Mike’s standouts from last week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past week I attended two standalone games, Holy Name @ North Ridgeville and Oak Hills @ Lakota East. In this article I'll break down five standout performers from these two contests.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1819386"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"North Ridgeville is a little banged up without stud [player_tooltip player_id='1819385' first='Griffin' last='Turay'] out with an ankle injury, but Jones stepped up in his absence on Tuesday night to lead them to a key non-conference victory. Jones can finish at the rim with both hands as he used crossovers and euro-step finishes to score in the paint. I also felt like Jones grew an inch since I last saw him in March and has the length to be an impact defender at the next level. If the perimeter shot comes around for Jones, he could make an impact at the scholarship level or be a stud at the Division III level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2296993"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of the top shooting duos in northeast Ohio's 2025 class are Styers and [player_tooltip player_id='1875366' first='Maxwell' last='Bollin'] at Holy Name. Styers can shoot it, just like his older brother Brandon did for the Green Wave a few years ago. While Drew has the similar righty shooting form as his big bro, Drew likes going up at the rim with his left hand. Making a quick right to left crossover and then hitting a running layup and-1, Styers was confident at the rim with his left hand. Putting up big numbers to start the season on a Holy Name squad that wants to push the pace and score the basketball, look out for the Green Wave in Division II this season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1285295"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"One of Ohio's top point guards, Perry showed exactly why he holds a handful of Division I offers on Tuesday night with a 33 point performance in an overtime victory over Oak Hills. Knocking down five 3-pointers, Perry did so in a variety of ways. Hitting two hand down, man down, 3-pointers sizing up his defender, Perry also knocked down a 3-pointer off a dribble handoff and a 25-footer running off a screen away from the hoop. Always been a tough defender and a great leader on the court, college coaches are going to love having Perry be a leader from the point guard position at the next level.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2296994"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"A new name for me, Maginn has been scoring the ball efficiently for Oak Hills all season at 17.3 PPG with 58/60/75 shooting splits. A prolific shooter off the catch, when he sets his feet, it's usually going in. Not very quick but also able to get where he needs to off the bounce either with a one dribble mid-range pull-up or getting all the way to the rim. I'd imagine Division III programs will start showing serious interest in Maginn this spring and summer.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1950571"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"One of the bigger bodied big men in the state, Stidham is a lineman on the gridiron and uses his physicality in the paint. Skilled with his back to the basket, Stidham uses his strength to score through contact. A high IQ player as well, Stidham can hit cutters and averages 2 assists per game from the center position. Also ran the pick and roll with an and-1 finish and Stidham is a force to handle in the paint.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6579ea2f83f0e"} /-->
