After a slow start, it was Valentine who sparked a rally and eventual double digit lead. Looked a different player from last week’s Mustang tournament. Keyed the Choctaw press with steals and other harassing plays. Was smoother and more confident in his jumper and handle. The late developer is still growing height wise, giving him some of the growing pains often associated with younger players. But if Valentine is able to find the form he started the year with, the Yellowjackets will be a very tough out in 6A.
