St. John’s, DeMatha, Paul VI, and Gonzaga respectively advanced to the semifinals that will take place today at American. Below is a look at five stock risers from yesterday’s action.
JAMES BERRY | IRETON ’20
Berry was tremendous for Ireton in their competitive loss to PVI. The lanky wing prospect shot it well from three in catch and shoot situations, but also impacted the game defensively with his length and ability to hit the boards.
ANWAR GILL | GONZAGA ’19
Gill once again showed that he has the ability to take a game by the scruff of the neck. Perhaps being left off the All-WCAC first team helped fuel this performance, but to be fair he’s been on quite a tear of late.
TREVOR KEELS | PAUL VI ’21
Ultimately, Ireton had no answer for Trevor Keels last night. He not only guarded their best player and did a great job, but also pumped in an efficient 29 points while applying constant pressure on the defense with his paint getting ability. Keels is the ultimate triple threat when you consider his ability to play make, shoot from long range in any situation, and get to the basket at will.
ISH LEGGETT | ST. JOHN’S 20
Leggett has continuously improved since his freshman year, and at this point there’s no reason to believe that he will stop. One thing you know he will always bring is energy and unrelenting effort, but more recently Leggett continues to show that he is a smart player who makes winning plays on both ends of the court.
DAY’SJUAN WATERS | GOOD COUNSEL ’21
Perhaps no single player raised their profile on Saturday more than Day’sJuan Waters of Good Counsel. The smooth wing prospect has a herky-jerky handle that is difficult to anticipate, and a compact stroke from three. Waters showcased the ability to score in bunches, but also the toughness to fight through what looked like an ankle injury and hit the boards.
