Armed with a quick first step, a quick release and range out past the three point line, guarding Sprattley has been more than a one man chore for most of this season. His ability to create off the dribble as well as shoot off the dribble make him very hard to guard. Sprattley's season resumes on March 5th for schools who want to get one look in before the high school season ends.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["2325731"],"_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":"The Long Island native's transfer to Willston has paid dividends, as he as been given the keys of a talented team that has played a tougher schedule than if he had stayed on the island. A high IQ guard who was already building on a strong summer, it's been a steady ascent for Edmead over the past year.

After transferring to LuHi from Cushing Academy, the Long Island native looks right at home running the offense for the NIBC powerhouse. Armed with newfound athleticism to go with his already dependable shooting and high IQ, James has proven himself to be one of the best point guards in the state and in the Northeast.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1361711"],"_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":"Anthony was fantastic in winning the Diocesan tournament last Friday and has been for a large majority of this season. The 6-foot lead guard finds a way to impact the game whether he is scoring or not and understands how to control an offense. St. Francis has really hit their stride in the past couple of weeks and look very dangerous heading into quarterfinals on Saturday.
