Takeaways from @TheCircuit League
- 2024 David Kotae (@UtahProspects) is a really productive and valuable piece.
- 2023s Ron Holland and KJ Lewis (@DriveNation_Dfw) are incredibly intimidating to play against.
- Ben Pearce (@RIElite_) gets to the paint whenever he wants.
Congrats to Ben Pearce (RCDS ‘21) @bpearce1_ on being selected Co-Player of the Year in NEPSAC B this year after a great prep season for Pomfret under the guidance of @rtoste22
Big things to come for Ben.
Pomfret’s backcourt of Ben Pearce & Evan Boyd wreaked havoc in a close loss to @WNSBVBasketball@3vanboyd drained five 3’s and exposed mismatches in the post🦾
@bpearce1_ killed defenders w/ polished pull-ups, floaters, dagger 3’s & timely dimes📈➡️@rtoste22:”Typical Night”👀
