Key Stats:
Clayton
#35) Hunter Chestnut-Perry F SO 6’3″ 15 pts 2pt: 4/7 FT: 7/10 has some game and moves underneath. Will be tough if he gets better and better
#20) Caleb Heusel G SR 6’2″ 13 pts 2pt: 3/4 3pt: 1/3 FT: 4/4
#22) Ethan Heusel G SR 5’8″ 8 pts 3pt: 2/4 FT: 2/2

Parkway Central:
#10) DeAndre Campbell G SR 6’1″ 27 pts 2pt: 7/13 FT: 13/17 3 assists, 2 steals. He has been a slow starter in the first halves this year. That might be trying to get in basketball shape. Today he scored six points in the first half and 21 in the second. Fun to watch except for the flopping
#20) Jake Silvestri G SR 5’10” 8 pts 2pt: 1/2 3pt: 2/8 Great shooter but other skills?
#40) Devion Harris F SO 6’6″ 6 pts 2pt: 2/4 FT: 2/2 5 rebounds Sophomore has skills
#24) Arther Green F SR 6’3″ 5 pts 2pt: 2/3 FT: 1/2 not in shape yet and will be a difference maker
