event.  The strong and physical wing is a straight flame thrower with the way he drains threes in bunches.  Did just that Friday against O'Fallon as he poured in six from deep.  Mixed in some mid-range shots along with and-1s for 25 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

sensation from St. Louis was electric scoring off the bounce with his quickness getting in the lane for scores where he finished well through contact in the paint.  Such a crafty finisher after getting in the paint with his quick first step.  He also hit a couple threes and showed growth as a passer for 30 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

the rest of the game doing what he does best which is being a bucket getter!  The Southern Illinois commit was a bit streaky as a shooter from deep, but still managed to pour in four triples along with a pair of tough jumpers.  His euro step in the paint along with soft touch finishing game is definitely a strength as well.  Went for 33 points in their win against O'Fallon on Saturday.</p> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kirby earned MVP honors for his performance in Fishers blowout victory.  The Miami (OH) commit is a broad shouldered wing that can score from all three levels.  He is at his best however when he squares up and gets downhill to the rim.  Finishes very well in the paint on layups and through contact.  Explosive slasher that attacks with force as he had 23 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

with a pair of bombs from deep showing off his deep range.  Then went to work off the dribble where he won consistently with drives as he set his finishing moves up with crosses and spins getting in the lane for scores.  Mixed in floaters, and-1s, and coast to coast takes for conversions at the rim en route to 24 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

super deep range on his shot and he wasn't afraid to let them fly in their victory against Bolingbrook.  Connected on five from distance as every time it leaves his hands you think it is going in.  Mixed in a couple of drives for fouls later in the game netting 21 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

Webster Groves.  He came out aggressive impacting on both ends along with the glass.  Threw down several big dunks showing off his big time athleticism.  Was very active as a rebounder both clearing on the defensive end along with getting put backs offensively.  Got to the free throw line at a good clip and even hit a corner three for 21 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

is a really good basketball player as well.  Strong build and big time athlete.  He is an excellent slasher that plays above the rim along with racking up three and-1s in the contest.  Quick and aggressive moves to the cup.  Also really liked his passing as a facilitator in the front court while he scored 18 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

rebounds in their loss to Vashon.  He started off a bit slow, but then really got it going as the contest went along.  He utilized quick and aggressive moves on the interior including spin moves, turnaround shots, and garnering deep post position on the catch.  High level area rebounder that gobbled them up on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paige was the only player that had a big game for Manual in their contest against Fishers.  The senior guard played with a high-motor and was a force in transition which is where he scored the majority of his points.  Tough kid that can also knock in a three ball had 23 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->

Saturday.  The Panthers top prospect is a long and lanky small forward that is at his best in the mid-range where he rises over defenders for pull up jumpers.  Solid connector on the perimeter and rebounds pretty well.  Would like to see him finish more consistently at the rim to take the next step in his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

night.  He is such a skilled forward that can score with turn round jumpers, back in for crafty post scores, and flashed as a ball handler.  Solid ball handler, passer, and we liked the growth he showed as a defender while scoring 16 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is a well built combo guard that has had a very good junior season.  The top guard in the Illinois 2026 class is a very good ball handler that can get to his spots slithering through the lane for scores in the paint along with mixing in triples which he did nailing three of them for 18 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simpson is a freshman that absolutely has superstar potential!  Long and lanky small forward that handles it with ease on the perimeter and in transition.  Played above the rim on a lob off an out of bounds, got on the offensive glass, and was a force on the glass on both ends snatching rebounds.  Such a smooth overall player that shows potential as a shot maker from deep.  He had 17 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

lead guard that can play on and off the ball.  Plays under control and with athleticism at the rim.  He pushes in the open floor and makes those around him better.  Went for 10 points.</p> <!--

points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
