A key scorer for the Eagles throughout a breakout sophomore year, King was uncharacteristically quiet throughout the game but stepped up when it mattered most in the decisive fourth quarter. The wing guard would score 8 of his 11 points in the final frame, knocking down a pair of 3s and getting to the line for a pair of free throws. King shoots a pretty ball off the catch with some skill and athleticism attacking off the bounce. There looks to be some interesting upside to tap into as he grows into his lengthy frame.

He made a huge 3pt shot and made another bucket to help Eagle keep their lead. Elijah will continue to get better so keep an eye out for over the next couple of years in the PSAL.
