One of Saturday’s surprises from a team standpoint was Lower Richland’s victory over the hosts. A key reason behind that win was the second-half play of James, who put up 14 of his 25 points over the final 16:00. Mario’s ability to frequently make the right play gave them an advantage over their opponent, and even though he’s not the most athletic or talented player, he simply provides a high floor each game. Along with timely scoring, James also chipped in with some work on the glass, forced turnovers, and precision passing.
