(#3) and the Alton Redbirds defeated the Sacred Heart Griffin Cyclones on 1/30/26 in an 83–56 landslide. Howard found success by locating open lanes. He drove to the basket and finished at the rim. He drew a foul on his shot or passed accurately on the fly. He also showcased solid perimeter shooting and appeared to act best when his feet were set.

Is a stretch 4 on a team that is well equipped on both sides of ball. Could fall into a wing position at next level as well depending on what program needs are. Moves well off screens and rolls to open spaces. Dives at a quick rate to basket with good footwork. Created havoc in second half on the offensive end in ½ court setting. Took on contact to get to stripe multiple times. Posts strong or can spread the floor as well. Got on the break once ahead of defense for an uncontested slam. Upside is here. Game high 19.

. Howard, who has a slight size advantage, uses his body to get inside and attack the boards as well. I am eager to see how Howard reacts to taking the reins in 2027.
