He seemingly couldn't miss and was on fire from beyond the arc, going 5-7. Abittan also came up in the clutch for the Cougars and was a big part of their huge 24 point 4th quarter. It was quite the performance from the UNLV commit against Nevada's top team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 24 Points (9-12 shooting) , 3 Assists, 1 Steal </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2515172"],"_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-6785b51f254b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jalen St. Claire was both a scorer and distributor in Coronado's matchup with Bishop Gorman. It was impressive how he navigated the pressure that the Gaels threw at him. Despite playing heavy minutes he played at a high level in the 4th quarter, and helped Coronado grab the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 20 Points, 6 Assists, 4 Rebounds, 2 Steals </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["986960"],"_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-6785b51f25529"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Bishop Gorman point guard looked hungry for on Saturday night. He was in attack mode most of the game, and used his speed to set up his shots. I also noticed him playing with a good deal of intensity on defense.
