Lens Esquil - Third TeamTaunton – Guard Taunton senior Lens Esquil had a standout final season wearing a Tigers uniform. Esquil is the type of player to do it all on the court, whether it be scoring, rebounding, playing tough defense, or making the big hustle play. He averaged a team-high 12.5 points per game and was one of the best mid-range shooters in the league. Many coaches consider Esquil as the best offensive rebounder in the league. “Lens is one of the quickest players that I have coached,” said THS coach Charlie Dacey. “Using this asset made the team better at both ends of the floor.” Dante Law - All Underclassmen TeamTaunton – Law continued to be one of the most dangerous young players in the league, and is just one of two players to be named to the All-Underclassmen team for a second straight year. Law was a matchup issue for a lot of teams as his combination of size and speed make him difficult to cover or to try and score against defensively. He was second on Taunton with 11.8 points per game. Full HockomockSports.com Article |
