<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final day of the live period saw action wrap up at the Memphis Sports and Events Center with EYBL and EYCL teams playing their final games of the weekend, in this article I'll break down the standouts I saw on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1827697"],"_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-682bc2cfeec47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] had a bunch of Division I coaches at their games this weekend and many were there to see Washington and he ended the weekend with a big performance in a blowout win over [program_tooltip program_id='2440235' first='Bates' last='Fundamentals']. A sharpshooter off the ball, Washington has a lightning quick release and has continued to improve his shot over the past two years. Also able to play above the rim, Washington had some breakaway slam dunks and had a strong and-1 layup finish off a patented backdoor play the [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] have been running for years. Washington has one of the deepest offer lists in the state and his most recent offer came from Butler, who had a coach at multiple of his games this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1708687"],"_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-682bc2cfeecb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive forwards in Ohio's 2026 class during the high school season, I liked the aggressiveness that Plantz showed this weekend. Playing strong on rebounds, loose balls, setting screens and even throwing down a couple dunks in the half court, Plantz was making an impact in the paint on both ends of the court. I expect scholarship programs to start to really prioritize Plantz this summer as he heads into his senior high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2754254"],"_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-682bc2cfeed0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2320052' first='All' last='Ohio Red'], Webster did a nice job of getting downhill off the wing and being efficient in the paint. A hard left hand driver, Webster would look to either attack with his left or go right and spin back to his left to finish at the rim. I was impressed by his efficiency and production as a scorer, looking comfortable in the paint. Based on the jump I've seen him make this summer, Webster could be one of the best players in the federal league next season as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373451"],"_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-682bc2cfeed5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Indy Heat 16 U went 4-0 this weekend and have been on a roll Vs EYBL squads with three wins at the Bill Hensley Run N Slam. Kemp was efficient against [program_tooltip program_id='2440235' first='Bates' last='Fundamentals'] on Sunday as he did a nice job playing on balance. Kemp pivots and uses jump stops in transition to stay square to the basket and also had a tough lefty finish after a steal. I also love the emotion Kemp plays with, you can tell he really wants to compete and win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2046167"],"_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-682bc2cfeeda8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An athletic rim runner and shot blocker, Lloyd added a different dynamic to his [program_tooltip program_id='2440235' first='Bates' last='Fundamentals'] and impacted the game with his physicality. I would imagine Lloyd gets scholarship interest with his size, rebounding and rim protection. Lloyd helped [program_tooltip program_id='2440235' first='Bates' last='Fundamentals'] to a 2-2 record for a second straight session.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
