PIAA 1st Round Game Recap Central Dauphin (PA) 64 Pennsbury 45

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Rams depth and experience was too much for the Falcons on Saturday evening. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1454311"],"_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-69ae0935c7bae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Easter finished with seven points, including five in the third quarter, and provided valuable depth as a reserve scorer. He showed the ability to make plays on the defensive end with his length and demonstrated versatility by guarding multiple positions. When attacking the basket, Easter isn't afraid to seek out contact, using his physical style to put pressure on the defense. Would be a great fit at the small college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633131"],"_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-69ae0935c7c0f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He finished the game with 12 points and got off to a strong start with a few early buckets shortly after the opening tip. He knocked down two three-pointers and showed a good feel for the game by finding ways to generate steals. His passing also stood out, as he was able to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. Defensively, he made several plays and did a good job turning defense into offense in transition. I'd like to see him play off two feet more when attacking the basket, which could help him stay under control and finish stronger. He also has the potential to become more dangerous as an off-ball slasher, using his movement to create easier scoring opportunities.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421234"],"_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-69aec170a9324"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">His two-way impact was evident throughout the win as he consistently made things happen for his team on both ends of the floor. A pesky defender, he frequently caused turnovers that led to additional offensive possessions. Offensively, he did a good job finding teammates for scoring opportunities on several occasions and showed his ability to stretch the floor by knocking down a pair of three-pointers. He finished with a game-high 15 points and capped off his performance with an emphatic dunk in the later stages of the game that brought the crowd to its feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2868579"],"_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-69aec170a937b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The freshman showed no fear and consistently found ways to make an impact on the game. His rangy arms were especially noticeable on the defensive end, where he frequently came away with steals. He finished with 12 points and displayed the ability to score in a variety of ways. I also liked how he filled the lane in transition, putting himself in position for easy scoring opportunities. In addition, he did a good job connecting with teammates and creating scoring chances for others throughout the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721481"],"_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-69aec170a93c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really like how he embraces doing the dirty work for his team on the interior. He converts easy buckets inside and has no problem using his size and strength to his advantage around the rim. He also showed the ability to stretch the floor with his perimeter shot-making. Roberts added 9 points in the win. In addition, his work on the offensive glass helped keep possessions alive and created extra scoring opportunities for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2855666"],"_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-69aec170a9403"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He finished with a team-high 13 points, with nine of those coming in the second quarter. He did a nice job seeking out contact when attacking the basket, which led to several trips to the foul line. He was effective at finding ways into the paint and also showed good awareness by creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Moving forward, I'd like to see him tighten up his handle, continue to get stronger, and improve how he handles double teams. I also thought he was a bit reluctant to shoot from deep. Even though he connected on one three-pointer, he could have been more aggressive looking for his shot from the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3532526"],"_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-69aec170a9441"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He provided additional scoring depth for the Falcons, finishing with 10 points while finding different ways to put the ball in the basket. He runs the floor with ease and did a good job seeking out contact when attacking. His ability to contribute offensively and play with energy makes him a player who should gain traction at the small college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
