Jordyn finished with 15 points and several rebounds/assists in Sagemont Prep’s (FL) win over Campbell Hall (CA) on Tuesday afternoon. Kee holds up very well under intense pressure, moves the ball well and makes on time passes, and can score at the rim as well with either hand.
Jaxon had 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists on Tuesday night in Alta’s (UT) tough loss to St. Pius x Matthias 81-69. Johnson was terrific on Tuesday afternoon despite the loss as he was all over the glass at both ends, found the open man every time he drew 2 defenders, and showed a soft scoring touch both on the perimeter and in the paint.
David finished with 2o big points on Tuesday night in St. Pius x Matthias’s come from behind victory over Alta (UT) 81-69. Mack came up huge for the Warriors in this one as he scored 14 of his 2o points in the second half to swing the momentum of the game and allow Pius to close the game out. He provided a steady ball handling presence in the face of intense pressure, created open shots for teammates, and had a good sense of when to look for his own shot.
Kalek finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and several assists/steals in Desert Mountain’s (AZ) win over Bishop Gorman (NV) on Tuesday night 81-65. House provides a strong, physical presence for Desert Mountain and properly asserted himself in the paint in this one as he both ended defensive possessions and created extra opportunities for his team by hitting the glass. He also isn’t scared to take a bump on his way to the basket in order to get to the free throw line, adding to Desert Mountain’s advantage with the new foul rules.
Nick delivered a gritty and competitive performance on Tuesday night in Bishop Gorman’s tough loss to Desert Mountain (AZ), 81-65. Jefferson finished with 24 points after a 19 point second half that saw him score the ball effectively at multiple levels whether he was attacking the basket, getting to the free throw line, or scoring from the perimeter. He also competes very hard on the defensive end, making him a consistent, solid contributor at both ends.

Jase came up huge in the 4th quarter for The Branson School on Tuesday night, hitting 4 threes in the 4th quarter en route to finishing with 2o points and 5 three’s in the hard fought victory over Calvary Christian (FL), 76-68.
