The Recap:  Danville grabbed an early 10 point lead, and while they couldn't put Avon away until midway through the fourth, they never trailed.  

Five Takes:

  • It was a sloppy game for both teams, and while Avon was effective on the offensive glass, mostly by Gabe McNary, 6'8" junior forward, they were ineffective and lacked energy in other phases of the game.
  • Danville had their half court struggles too, but they were excellent in transition.  At 6'7", Dillon Ware leads the break as well as most guards, and he's an excellent recipient and finisher too.
  • Neither team showed much perimeter shooting, beyond Avon's Mitch O'Mara, who did all of his damage in the first half and didn't get much of a touch in the second.  Neither Jayden Brewer, 6'5" junior guard from Avon, or Ware stepped into a perimeter shot, which for both is an area they need to show improvement. 
  • Danville's Sam Comer is another versatile wing.  There is still a level where he could hunt for shots more, as much because he's excellent at the free throw line as well as his size, 6'4"-6'5".  
  • Avon point guard Chrishon McCray is a willing passer with good shot mechanics.  He didn't get many perimeter looks aside from a couple of stationary looks from the volleyball line, and he didn't get downhill much at all from the wing toward the middle.
