Ryan Jackson (76ers) Fenwick 2018
Jackson is a six foot guard who plays hard until it’s time for a sub. In an early matchup against last week player of the week Isaiah Turner, Jackson went toe to toe with Turner and at time got the best of him. He was able to get in the lane at will. Ryan has a strong upper body and knows how to use it to his advantage. He was able to get many open layups and the ones that missed he quickly rebounded for scores. The Fenwick sophomore finished the game with a strong 22 points and 12 rebounds performance, but despite his efforts walked away with the loss.
