Bishop Blanchet vs Bainbridge

I wanted to see the SR at Blanchet and take another look at Bainbridge JR that I did not notice when they got stomped by Rainier Beach. Not a bad game, Bainbridge had a 6 pt lead at half in a low scoring affair. Starting the 3rd quarter Blanchet did not score until about 2 minutes left then ran off ten in a row to make it a 1pt deficit before the start of the 4th. They then started really pushing Bainbridge and finally took a lead after trading baskets with about 3 minutes left. Bainbridge battled and kept it close until under a minute, Blanchet got the win at home.

Blanchet
#34 - Stephen Reinhart 6-3 SR Pretty good scorer here, led them back when he got hot from outside in the 4th. He's averaging 17ppg but doesn't know a bad shot. Has a great 3pt stroke, can really release it quick and with a guy in front of him. Absolute confidence in his shot. Good quickness off of screens and with one or two dribbles. Not a ball handler though. Would be a good low DI for a team that just needs a role player that can shoot. Needs work on defense and rebounding. Forces things too often. High DII, Low DI

Bainbridge
Ben Eisenhardt - Second time I've seen the Seattle U commit. Has nice touch but really needs to work on his rebounding. Very thin, will need to learn how to work but should be a nice player for Seattle U. Mobile 6-9 and can shoot.

#24 - Ryan Burriss 6-4 JR Did not notice him in the Rainier Beach thrashing of Bainbridge but has been listed high by other scouts and is averaging 12.5ppg. He is a very thin wing. I like his attitude and hustle, he knows how to play. Did not see him shoot outside but he can pass and make plays around the basket. Plays hard on D and follows the ball. Got some nice put backs on offense. Fairly quick. DII/DIII
