After getting punched in the mouth (figuratively, not literally) to start the game, Pickerington Central responded with a great second half effort to almost pull off a miracle comeback. Snyder hit multiple time and space 3-pointers and defensively he blocked a shot and hustled for a steal. Nice effort by a senior who has played in a ton of big games throughout his career.

Pickerington Central was without a couple of their taller players so the Tigers needed some other guys to step up and rebound and bring toughness to the court. That’s where Snyder shined as he got a couple 50/50 balls and provided good energy on both ends of the court. A lead guard who has consistently knocked down shots on the perimeter, Snyder has had a nice summer for the Tigers after getting valuable varsity experience the past two years.

I decided to pair the twins together for this breakdown, the duo started together for Pickerington Central during June and impressed me enough to both get added to our rankings, after they initially got on our radar at the Prep Hoops Expo last Fall. Aaven runs more on the ball for Pickerington Central while Ayden looks to score off spot-ups and set plays. While Aaven is more of a natural point guard, both twins don’t let the ball stick to their hands and move it within the offense. What I like about both twins is that they are fearless, I noticed in the game Vs Richmond Heights last year that they didn’t back down after a slow start and found ways to contribute and keep fighting. Both similar level prospects right now, I would imagine they could potentially be a package combo at the small college level down the road.

After getting down 15 points in the first quarter, Pickerington Central played even with Richmond Heights for the remainder of the contest. I thought the Sophomore Snyder played fearless on Sunday, which helped gain confidence for the rest of his team. The last thing you can do against the Richmond Heights pressure is be indecisive and while not everything Snyder tried worked, he did everything with confidence and a purpose. This confidence allowed him to make some nice takes to the rim where he had a lefty and-1 layup, a floater where he got low to the ground and a crossover past a defender in transition. Combine that with two 3-pointers and I thought Snyder really showed what he can do against one of the top teams in the Midwest on Sunday.
