Continue ReadingI headed over to Coconut Creek for Mater Lakes Academy against North Broward Prep. This was a tight game through two quarters with the Eagles up 27-22. North Broward Prep used a 21-13 third quarter to take a 48-35 lead after 24 minutes. I thought the Bears struggled to hit shots in the second half. They do have talent and will be a team to be reckoned with in the future. North Broward Prep went on to defeat Mater Lakes Academy, 59-44.
Let’s look at some standouts…
Justin Abson Justin Abson 6'9" | PF North Broward Prep | 2022 State #230 Nation FL – North Broward Prep
2022 Justin Abson Justin Abson 6'9" | PF North Broward Prep | 2022 State #230 Nation FL effectively used his mass/size to stifle the Mater Lakes Academy offense. The 6-foot-9 forward had six or seven blocks by my account. I thought Abson played with patience as a post defender. Anything in his vicinity was blocked or altered in the paint. The Bears could not go through or above him. Abson scored most of his ten points around the rim. He also passed well around the key. Abson came into the night averaging 15.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. He is committed to Appalachian State.
Adren Roberts Adren Roberts 6'5" | SG Somerset Canyons | 2022 State FL – North Broward Prep
I would give the game ball to 2022 Adren Roberts Adren Roberts 6'5" | SG Somerset Canyons | 2022 State FL . The 6-foot-5 wing scored 17 points and hit a pair of corner 3-pointers. I thought Roberts was key to extending North Broward Prep’s lead in the third quarter. He also tallied two or three blocks. Roberts has a lot of athletic versatility on both ends of the floor. Overall, I thought he played a consistent game through four quarters. It might have been his best performance of the season. Roberts came into the night averaging 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
Christian Reid Christian Reid 6'5" | SF Mater Lakes | 2024 State FL – Mater Lakes Academy
2024 Christian Reid Christian Reid 6'5" | SF Mater Lakes | 2024 State FL had the play of the night with a big-time slam over 2023 Guilherme Tesch Guilherme Tesch 6'8" | SF North Broward Prep | 2023 FL . The 6-foot-4 guard/forward went down the lane an sprung over the 6-foot-8 wing for a huge dunk. Reid definitely showed his bounce on the play. I was also impressed with his size for just being a sophomore. Reid has a “big guard” look. He finished with nine points.
Anthony Knowles Anthony Knowles 5'10" | CG Mater Lakes | 2025 State #93 Nation FL – Mater Lakes Academy
2025 Anthony Knowles Anthony Knowles 5'10" | CG Mater Lakes | 2025 State #93 Nation FL finished with a team-high 11 points. The 5-foot-11 guard has a compact frame for a freshman. Knowles can handle the ball and score off dribble penetration. He has range on his shot as well. Knowles could be a force with additional height.
Notes: 2023 Guilherme Tesch Guilherme Tesch 6'8" | SF North Broward Prep | 2023 FL got things going in the second half and finished with 19 points. The 6-foot-8 wing hit two 3-pointers and found a scoring rhythm down the lane.
