Vashon vs Cascade Christian

Pretty good game between the top two Nisqually 1A schools. Vashon started out slow but the big man does not miss many shots. Cascade Christian did not do a good job of denying him the ball. They needed a man in front of him and behind him but mostly ended up with only a man behind him. And when you're 6-3 and trying to play behind a 6-9 scorer you're going to get scored on. Otherwise Cascade Christian played very well, outrunning Vashon and getting some transition buckets to keep it close. Vashon held on to win 49-43 at home.

Vashon
#40 - John Gage -6-9 JR - Very skilled, very long big man. Not an athlete but has a pretty solid body. Will need to work on defense and footwork but certainly plays hard and can score. Has a very nice turn around jumper that will be hard for anyone to defend. Needs to add some more moves and keep working on his quickness. Definitely a center, does not get out and run. Made some excellent assists, really finds his teammates when doubled. Ok rebounder. Mid to High DI

#33 - Charlie Hoffman -6-8 SR - Thin senior forward, great for a 1A school to be able to high low with this kid and Gage. Doesn't see the ball much because of Gage but has ok hands and hit a big 3pter out of the corner in the 4th quarter. Size and length give him potential. DIII/DII

#4 - Thomas Timm-Skove -6-4 SR - Strong quick guard, a good slasher that gets to the basket, ok ball handler. Ok shooter. Great size and pretty good athleticism. Averaging 10ppg DIII/DII

#20 - Alex Wagner -6-7 SO - Didn't stand out to me but is tall and long. Only a sophomore and gets lots of minutes. Keep an eye on him.

Cascade Christian
#3 - Jonnie Washburn -6-3 JR - A thin tall guard. Played hard and is leading his team in scoring. Aggressive and slashes, pretty good shooter.

#11 - TJ Tuttle -5-7 SO - This kid is worth keeping an eye on. He is total hustle and energy, a quick little pg that reminds me a bit of Aaron Bright from Bellevue. Handles the ball well and gets his teammates open. Plays hard on defense and gets everyone going. He's pretty small but only a sophomore. DIII/DII
