Vanguard school is in a groove and looks like a team that could turn heads and make a deep playoff push, and a big reason for that is their man in the middle, Matty. Matty has been a solid piece who has really turned it on in the last couple of seasons, and now is nearing 1,000 points in only three seasons. What is incredible about his play is he’s averaged a double-double since his sophomore season, and in the middle of his señor year he’s putting up his best season yet. He’s up to 20.6 points and 10.6 boards a game. He’s an inside bruiser, he dominates the paint, and is a willing passer who finds the open man. He backs defenders down, counters, and finishes well around the basket. He also turns defense to offense, and he’s a few games away from the 1,000 point mark, which I expect to happen right at the end of league play. Solid career for him!
