Expert Analysis
Aaron Proia | Prep Hoops Scout
-Barrett returned to the lineup from injury to immediately make a splash for a very good Catonsville team with scoring outputs of 28, 20, and 23 in his first 3 games back. Loved his two way impact as he finished with 10 stocks (combined steals and blocks) in both the Hereford and Woodlawn games– blocking shots both on and off the ball while doing a great job of jumping passing lanes or timing dribble cadences to collect the steal and get his team out in transition. The range on his jumper has also really improved, knocking down deep C+S 3s from well beyond that arc without needing to put the ball on the floor for a dribble. His ability to attack the outside shoulder on long closeouts got him past his matchup and into the teeth of the defense where he either scored at the rim or drew fouls or both. His five FTs down the stretch sealed the win against Hereford to give him 28 points on the night as the Comets were missing their leading scorer. His ability to serve as a slashing connector for his team lead to several assists to teammates for easy buckets on the short roll or after he snagged an offensive rebound. One of the most impactful players in the county on a team that should be the favorite in Section 2.
