Bolingbrook Tops Neuqua Valley in Game Loaded with Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The marquee game of the night in Wednesday Sectional Semi action was Bolingbrook vs Neuqua Valley.  There were an insane amount of ranked prospects across the floor.  This one had a great atmosphere with a sold out crowd at Bolingbrook.  It was the best two sophomores in the state [player_tooltip player_id='2531973' first='Brady' last='Pettigrew'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2531981' first='Cole' last='Kelly'] who each had their moments.  So did the role players stepping up on each side.  A fourth quarter run by Bolingbrook on their home floor gave them the win 68-53!  We go right to the prospects here diving into all the players that made this game special!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pettigrew came out firing as the sophomore star connected on a trio of threes to begin the game.  He was very confident hunting his shot and poured them in from distance in the early going.  He then was assertive getting downhill for scores in the paint.  Tough finishes in traffic, got to the line, score on a baseline out of bounds play, and threw down multiple massive dunks in both the half court as well as transition.  Also liked what he showed as a passer making sound reads when opportunities presented themselves.  Defended at a very high level against Martin who runs all over the floor trying to get open.  He had 23 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

what makes him a special prospect in this game.  He used his size and length to finish over smaller defenders out of the dunker spot and on cuts to the hoop.  Got on the offensive glass for put backs and cleared them defensively.  His biggest asset in this game was his rim protection swatting and altering shots all game long as he was a game changer defensively!  Went for 7 points.  Couple years at a high level JUCO and he is a no doubt D1 guy!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

did knocking in some timely shots.  Shot fake then blow by for a layup at the cup.  Pushed in transition, hit a big three, and was outstanding as a distributor making great decisions on the fly off live dribbles.  Went for 9 points.  Michigan Tech commit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

feathery jumper on the baseline and creating space with his jab step.  Took it to the basket for floaters and got to the line netting 10 points.  D2s should be involved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

this game as he scored 17 points despite not shooting as well as he usually does.  Did manage to knock in a couple threes and got downhill to the line.  Rebounds well for his position.  Passes on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

best in this game, but did still get a couple to go.  Love how well he moves without the ball to get open.  More than just a shooter from deep he hit a couple of short jumpers en route to 13 points.  Committed to Illinois.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

did just that draining pair of threes with no one within five feet of him.  Couple crafty layups for 11 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
