This allowed some other guys to step up including Turner, who was efficient scoring in the low block. Making himself available in the paint and using his soft touch and athleticism at the rim to score. Turner has taken a clear jump as a Sophomore and should continue to add to his offers when more Division I programs see him in the spring and summer. Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='2272617' first='Griffin' last='Starks'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2326411' first='Amontae' last='Lowe'] were both offered by Ohio University after the game as well from Newport.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1888359"],"_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":"Beavercreek played an exciting brand of basketball, getting up and down the court with Cincinnati Woodward in a game that was really fun to watch. I wanted to spotlight Williams as he was maybe the most efficient scorer I saw all weekend, going 11/13 from the field. A big time athlete, Williams is looking to attack downhill in transition and get to the lane where he can jump stop for floaters and touch shots at the rim. Improving his athleticism, Williams had a powerful transition slam dunk where he got up on the rim easily. To cap off the game, Williams threw an alley-oop to his teammate for a slam dunk as the buzzer sounded. I really liked the up-tempo style Beavercreek played with and the skill they showed across their roster. I expect Williams to get a lot of college recruiting attention this spring and summer.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1889826"],"_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":"Lutheran West keeps finding ways to grind out wins, on a 'neutral' court against a local Dayton powerhouse program, the Longhorns found themselves down late and Yli-Junnila made some tough plays at the end to steal a win from Huber Heights Wayne. A shooter with good size on the wing, Yli-Junnila was 2/3 from 2 and 3-point range on the day. Also blocking two shots, his length can be a factor on the defensive side of the floor. Lutheran West remains unbeaten as they continue to just find ways to get it done at the end, we'll see how long they can keep up this streak of clutch play. When a team can win without playing close to their best basketball, it shows the mental toughness their group has.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1359618"],"_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":"Pickerington Central and Lima Sr played a physical game where points were at a premium. Wells is a big-time athlete on both ends of the floor, able to defend the rim and grab rebounds above other forwards. With a team-high seven rebounds and game-high two blocks, Wells athleticism was on full display. Holding offers from a few levels on both the gridiron and the hardwood, Wells highest comes from Toledo for football but has been receiving interest for both sports to play at the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1055776"],"_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":"In an absolute war, Oak Ridge came out on top over Saint Ignatius in a high-level game. The duo of Johnson and Jamier Jones was high level all game as the power wing duo were getting to the rim at will and using their strength and athleticism to finish at the rim. Shooting 10/15 from 2-point range and finishing with 23 points and nine rebounds, Johnson was one of the most impactful players on the court. Easy to see why Johnson is a high major commit with his production, athleticism and positional size and strength.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1222348"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The last game of the day needed overtime to decide a winner and the hometown Elks got it done with another signature victory at Flyin' To The Hoop, an event they've had tremendous success over the years. Powell is a big-time shooter and his game-high 24 points were LOUD. Isidore Newman kept letting Powell catch and shoot with his feet set and Powell rarely missed when he saw a clean look at the rim. Centerville's ball movement and 11 3-pointers were the difference in the end as Powell's teammates found him when he was open and he made the defense pay.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a4a4bcb1607"} /-->
