- The Gregory School, the No. 1 team in the AIA's 1A rankings, trampled a visiting Academy of Tucson 104-51. The Gregory School (25-1) were just too much for the Academy of Tucson, as 10 Hawks scored. Senior guard Nick Rosquist, who leads Arizona with 28.5 points per game, finished with a game-high 30 points, in just two-and-a-half quarters of play. Addison Mort recorded 18 points in the first half, and sat for most of the second half as the Hawks were running away with the game, as they scored 42 points in the first quarter and shot 18-of-25 as a team in the first quarter. The Gregory School under first-year head coach AJ Albritton looks unstoppable in 1A play. The team's lone loss was to a 2A team as the refs overturned a last-second made basket by junior guard Addison Mort. They play with a scoring pace that'll be unmatched by most of the other teams in 1A.
- Rosquist, scored 16 points in the first four minutes of the game, said after the game he's starting to hear from a few Division II colleges after holding a few offers from DIII schools. He also said he will play on the AAU circuit until April with David Thomas and Arizona Power in hopes of landing a few more offers.
- While Rosquist is the team's best scorer, junior Addison Mort is the Hawks best overall player. Mort is a 6-3 guard, who is long, athletic and too much to handle in 1A play. Mort has good court vision and is an above-average passer, and knows when to attack the basket and finish with contact. It wouldn't surprise me if he's dunking by the end of the summer. He's a good teammate, often playing second fiddle to Rosquist without any qualms. But, the coaching staff said once he gains some confidence he'll be unguardable in 1A.
- Senior center Ben Davis is new to the basketball team, as he looks more like a football player standing at 6-4. Davis isn't a college prospect or anything, but with his immovable size, great hands and soft touch, Davis gives the Hawks a solid third option. Davis finished the game 8-of-8 shooting for 17 points.
- I went to the game in hopes of finding out more about Academy of Tucson's junior guard Tyler Carrizoza. Carrizoza currently is one of the state's top scoring juniors with 25 ppg. Carrizoza combo guard who likes to shoot, but can put the ball on the floor and hit shots in the lane as he simply glides with his long strides. Carrizoza finished with 20 points on 22 shots, as he's the only scoring option on the team. Right now, he looks like he could play at the DIII level. He's never played club ball or been on the AAU circuit before, and is looking to get onto the scene and told me he's looking for a program to play on this Spring and Summer. He's someone who I think could excel if he is the third option on a team, taking players off the dribble and scoring from downtown. With some coaching, he'll be a fun player to watch, a sleeper in Tucson.
