Will Braun-Duin @wabraunduin went absolutely nuclear tonight at Hayfield. The 2025 CHSL All-First Team guard exploded for 96 points and 22 rebounds in just two games today for John Handley @BoysHandley.
Game 1 vs. Heritage: 40 points and 8 rebounds
Game 2 vs. Purple Storm: 56 points and 14 rebounds
1st night of summer league ever at Hayfield and we have unequivocally the best performance in @CapitolHoopsSL history.
Will Braun-Duin of John Handley went for 40 in the 1st game of their double header...
In the 2nd game.... he's got 53 and the game ain't over yet.

The Detroit Pistons shot 60 attempts inside the arc and got 12 free throw attempts.
The Cleveland Cavaliers shot 37 attempts inside the arc and got 34 free throw attempts.
Donovan Mitchell had more FT’s than the entire Detroit Pistons team.
The Cleveland Cavaliers went an entire quarter of NBA basketball without be called for a foul.
I know the Detroit Pistons starters did not perform well at all in this game but the DRASTIC disparity of free throw attempts in favor of the jump shooting team over the slashing team is unbelievable.
An impressive playoff run culminated Saturday for John Handley with the first boys basketball state title in the school's 101-year history, as the Judges defeated one, now two-loss Hampton 61-42. Game story here: https://t.co/x71NrwnV0R

Every trip to the dentist.
Dental Hygienist: Your teeth might be the worst I’ve ever seen. No chance you brush twice a day, and don’t even lie to me about flossing. You should be ashamed of yourself coming in here like this.
Dentist: Looks great. No issues. See you in 6 months.
