Varsity Fall League: Thursday’s Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Varsity Fall league action continued on Tuesday. These players had some of the better performances of the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266705"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f82223e3fb0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yapi and Sierra Vista really took it to Legacy on Thursday. The attention he drew, opened up a ton of wide open shots for his teammates. The senior threw multiple alley-oop passes, and looked to be having some fun out there. I also liked his shot selection. His best shots of the night were a fade-away 3-pointer, and a smooth pull-up jumper. When you watch him play it doesn't appear that he tries to force anything and the game looks like it's in slow motion for him</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374347"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f82223e3f12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McMorran torched Democracy Prep in impressive fashion on Thursday and put up 30 points. Perhaps his most impressive shot of the day was a half-court buzzer-beater right before halftime. Some players would be lucky to hit that far of a shot, but McMorran has limitless range and I've seen him hit from half-court a few times now. If he can keep scoring like he has in fall league, he may become one of the top scorers in the state this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1529852"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f82223e3fe8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Josiah did what he does best on Thursday, the junior got downhill with the ball and hit acrobatic lay-ups. His drives opened up a lot of opportunities for his teammates as well. At one point Democracy Prep was down 11, and "Jo's" effort really helped them come back to get the win. I liked how he competed even though it was only a fall league game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1418231"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f82223e4020"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Santonio transferred here from Kentucky and will be playing for Trinity Prep this year. The speedy guard is dangerous with the ball in his hands and I like how he plays with his eyes up. He does a nice job anticipating where the help is coming from, and found his teammates for a number of assists. From what I saw, he looks capable of putting up 10+ assists in some games this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374248"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66f82223e3f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1529853' first='Tai' last='Coleman'] was out of the lineup on Thursday, and Harris stepped up big time for the Blue Knights. He applied a lot of ball pressure throughout the game, which led to a few steals and easy lay ups for the freshman. I was also impressed by his finishing ability, he does a great staying in control of his body when he goes up with the ball. Expect him to continue to make an impact for Democracy Prep once the real season starts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
