Seattle Prep vs. Chief Sealth

This was a very sloppy game for both teams, lots of turnovers and missed layups. It was a low scoring battle that came down to the last minute. It ended much like the game was played with Chief Sealth down one and Seattle Prep with the ball, Jon Humphrie tried to force a play and had the ball stolen by Jordan Kidd. Kidd then raced down the court and came to a jump stop with a good look at the basket just to have Humphrie come from behind him and strip the ball loose and give it back to Prep. There were a lot of fouls and a lot of free throws. Prep won by 4.

Seattle Prep
Because I already wrote about Prep I will just add a couple of things.

#25 - Patrick Nyeko -6-6 SR Played very well, has very good hands and caused a lot of those aforementioned turnovers. Got some key put back buckets to get them the victory.

#24 - Sam Howell -6-2 SR Did not play much at all, not sure why he's suddenly in the dog house but it seems that JR #20 Julian Mason took his role and played some solid minutes.

#21 - Mitch Brewe -6-5 FR Played a ton of minutes and scored a lot of points. He is very skilled and plays hard. He is only a freshmen and if he keeps growing he's going to be a big time player.

#3 - John Humphrie - 6-1 SR Big stocky pg, keeps his balance well but still trys to do to much. Plays hard and is very strong, has potential. DII

Chief Sealth
#24 Jordan Kidd - 6-1 SR Combo guard that is leading the Metro league in scoring at 24ppg, the reason I went to this one. He's cat quick and has a ton of potential but has a lot of learning to do. He just doesn't see the floor very well. He's very aggressive and will always attack the basket. He's athletic and deceptive and can make defenders miss and earn foul shots. He's not a great shooter though and takes a ton of shots. He forced a lot when he didn't need to some times taking on 2 or 3 defenders at once. He did draw defenders and make a couple of good passes but that was not his focus. I think he would be a better pg then a shooter but he doesn't seem to want to do that. DII/Low DI potential

#43 Tomas Ogbaslassie -6-5 JR Big long wing - definitely skilled enough to be on the perimeter. Slashed and made plays on both ends of the floor, very aggressive and grabbed some big rebounds to keep them alive. Athletic but thin, averaging 9ppg, second on team. DII/Low DI potential
