Watched Northwood versus Central Cabarrus last night. Central Cabarrus came into the game 32-0, and they were able to beat Northwood 65 to 51. It was apparent that they were the more talent team overall. Northwood Drake Powell showed why he is an elite talent. The problem was he did not have a good supporting cast, their guards are not elite by any standard. Drake Powell had to being the ball up court since the guards were turnover prone, have to admit he has a very good handle. Northwood downfall were they committed 19 turnovers against Central Cabarrus, which led to a lot of fast break point for Cabarrus. Drake showed great shooting form from the 3 point line and with his mid range jumper, defense was good, and the kid is athletic. Finished the game with 17 points on 8 of 10 from the field. The potential are there for him to be an outstanding player and a contributor his freshman year of 2024. Definitely has a great upside to his game.
