It was a long day full of close games and great individual performances. Check out some of the standout guards from the 4A tournament on the first day of action at the Tacoma Dome.   [player_tooltip player_id='1485541' first='Matt' last='Lindblom'] | Olympia   Patiently attacked gaps in the defense all night and was able to quickly recognize space to get shots off with the jumper. Strong enough to handle contact inside and finish through contests and led the way for Olympia with 15 points on the night.   [player_tooltip player_id='2458323' first='Julian' last='Zapata'] | Olympia   Plays with good aggression and pace, wanted to get downhill and did a great job putting pressure on defenders in the paint. Finished with 10 points and some tough buckets at the cup.   [player_tooltip player_id='1434525' first='Blake' last='Stempniak'] | Kentwood   Started off on fire from 3-point and came back late to hit a couple of big shots down the stretch. The big guard was also a presence inside with some nice blocks near the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='1863193' first='Brandon' last='Tagle'] | Kentwood   The sophomore guard was a tone-setter from the top for Kentwood, getting consistent penetration and then dropping in some 3s in big moments. Had a really balanced attack scoring and passing, and even made a big rebound late in the game, chasing down a long board with time running low.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450989' first='Beckett' last='Currie'] | Camas   He was constant electricity yesterday and got it done just about every way you can think of scoring the rock. Really fell into a groove early on and kept at it throughout the game. Also showed a lot of desire defensively, even forcing a five-second call early in the first quarter.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450988' first='Jace' last='Vanvoorhis'] | Camas   He's a slicer and dicer that made several drives to part the defense and finish at the rim. Also did a great job creating off the bounce to get good looks for teammates and finished with four assists. Hit a big 3 to tie the game back up after Glacier Peak stormed back.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450981' first='Josiah' last='Lee'] | Glacier Peak   Not the typical scoring night for Lee but he showed some guile trying to get himself going in the second quarter when he drew a foul setting a screen to put himself at the line. He was shadowed all night and those free throws were about the only open looks he saw. Showed some other areas he can impact through and had a number of strips on drivers to create turnovers. Still managed to hit some big shots down the stretch too.   [player_tooltip player_id='1139155' first='Isaiah' last='Cuellar'] | Glacier Peak   One of the players of the day with his performance to step up and lead his team to a comeback win. He was scoring in every fashion, with high layups off the glass, tough midrange shots over defenders, and even dropping in some key 3s. Gutsy performance and created a lot of shots off the dribble.   [player_tooltip player_id='2153068' first='Carter' last='Stonerock'] | Tahoma   Such a smooth finisher and really flies up the court in transition. Showcased a lot of playmaking skills in space and was pushing the pace at every opportunity.   [player_tooltip player_id='2173112' first='Seamus' last='Williams'] | Jackson   Tough-minded player who made great feeds to his big men all night. Worked angles really well and found some space in the heart of the defense for some buckets in the paint. He's a crafty player who's strong enough to patiently attack defenses. Also made some big plays on the defensive end and is always a guy willing to sacrifice his body for charges and loose balls.   [player_tooltip player_id='2375337' first='Joey' last='Gosline'] | Jackson   Shot the absolute lights out all night. Ended the game with four 3s and three free throws after getting fouled behind the arc.   [player_tooltip player_id='1837761' first='Demaree' last='Collins'] | Skyview   Heated up in the fourth scoring the ball with some soaring finishes over and around defenders. Had some momentum-shifting plays and a nice run of buckets in the fourth that culminated with a 3 and tough floater to put his team up nine in the closing moments.   [player_tooltip player_id='2458313' first='Javen' last='Fletch'] | Skyview   Came up big down the stretch against Federal way with two 3s and a pair of free throws. Wasn't a huge factor through the first three quarters but clutched up and was instrumental to Skyview punching their ticket to the next round.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450499' first='Kofi' last='Peyton'] | Federal Way   Peyon shot the ball exceptionally well from behind the arc and was a key guy who helped open up lanes for some of their other guards to attack the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='1450568' first='Mason' last='Thomas'] | Federal Way   Led the Federal Way attack yet again and is able to handle so much contact on his way to the rack. Showed up big in crunch time and also was a big contributor crashing the boards from the perimeter.   [player_tooltip player_id='1928680' first='Candon' last='Bible'] | Federal Way   Bible is a dog on defense and he was hounding the ball while on the floor yesterday but he also really came through with some efficient buckets, making strong drives to the hoop, darting down lanes and through defenders. He finished the game 5-for-5 from the field.
