Flyin’ To The Hoop Friday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flyin' To The Hoop got started on Friday night inside Trent Arena in Kettering, Ohio. In this article I'll break down the standouts I caught from the action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358782"],"_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-678bce6736130"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dynamic Prep was pushed by Richmond Heights with a tied 36-36 score midway through the third quarter. Shooting just 2/11 from 3-point range, Toombs was the difference on the interior grabbing more than double the rebounds of anybody else on the floor. He was also efficient in the paint as a scorer as he was simply too big and too strong to be slowed down by the undersized Spartans. One of the top bigs in the class of 2025 nationally, Toombs and Dynamic Prep are a team to watch moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1432020"],"_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-678bce6736189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richmond Heights made just three shots inside the arc all game which meant they were launching away from 3-point range all game. Nobody caught fire quite like Winters Jr, who was the primary reason why this game was so competitive for two and a half quarters. One of the elite shooters in Ohio, Winters Jr hit some shots from 25+ feet off pick and pops and also launched one from behind half court at the first half buzzer which he banked in. A resilient performance by the undersized and undermanned Richmond Heights team, I was impressed with their team effort to stay competitive for as long as they did on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1150824"],"_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-678bce67361d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In an absolute classic of a game, House came up time and time again for Az Compass Prep before Miikka Muurinen hit the game winning putback at the buzzer. I was impressed with House's ability to pick his spots on drives and get to the paint without forcing the issue. He also used a variety of finishes at the rim including some impressive scoop shots. House also led the game in rebounding despite being one of the smaller guys on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1485542"],"_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-678bce673621b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fogle has some impressive scoring ability on the ball and is capable of hitting contested shots from anywhere on the court. With a burner like his, you can give him the ball late in the shot clock and watch him work. His shooting ability also provides floor spacing for his teammates, which gives his team more room to operate in the half court. Fogle has the potential to be another great Gonzaga player in due time with his offensive potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Darryn Peterson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Prolific Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Phenom United","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678bce67362bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a bit of a homecoming for Peterson and Nikola Bundalo as the Akron/Canton area natives returned to their home state to play. Bundalo had a strong second half with a couple dunks and crucial offensive rebounds. For Peterson, he made his patented mid-range jumpers and had a couple electrifying dunks after blowing by his primary defender. The athletic jump Peterson has made over the past 12-18 months is notable and changes his ceiling for the nba draft alongside his improved defensive abilities. The last part of his game to master will be the 3-point shot, Peterson was 1/5 on Friday but took these shots with confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
