]]>The post 500 Steals For Jaelen House! How The Man of Steal Does It! appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>RELATED: Shadow Mountain vs. Mission Bay Title Game FULL HLs | Shadow Mountain vs. Foothills Christian game HLs | Jaelen House CLUTCH Steal vs. St. Augustine | Jalen House Drops 34 on La Jolla Country Day
It's ironic the steal Jaelen House didn't come up with led to a miracle basket that handed Shadow Mountain its only loss so far in the 2018-19 season. Defending Arizona-bound Nico Mannion of Pinnacle (Phoenix, Ariz.) in the backcourt in the closing seconds of a hotly-contested game, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound senior got his hands on the ball and knocked it from Mannion's hands. Mannion alertly grabbed it and dribbled forward as House's defensive play knocked it back towards his legs in the opposite direction. House had the agility and awareness to spring back to his feet and stay stride-for-stride with one of the best guards in the country, who eventually hit a miracle bank shot at the buzzer.
As House and Shadow Mountain rack up impressive numbers and wins at the 2018 Torrey Pines Holiday Classic in California, it forced us to take a closer look at the Arizona St.-bound senior's defensive statistics. The son of former Hayward (Calif.), ASU and NBA guard Eddie House had 34 points and nine steals in a 101-75 first round win over La Jolla Country Day (Calif.). After going for 29 points and seven steals, including a late one to help clinch a hard-fought 72-64 quarterfinal victory over St. Augustine (San Diego, Calif.), we took a closer look.
The official Shadow Mountain books listed House with 493 career steals through 99 career games. When you add the three he had at GEICO Nationals versus University School (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) it left him with 496 entering the tournament semifinal contest versus Foothills Christian (El Cajon, Calif.). House went on to nail six 3-pointers en route to 30 points and the five steals he was credited with, including the swipe with approximately 5:15 remaining in the game that put him at the magical 500 mark in his high school career, left him in special company.
The online Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) Record Book doesn't list individual steals, but House's eventual career number would be a good mark to begin with. House currently enters the Saturday evening title game versus Mission Bay (San Diego, Calif.) with 501 steals, which puts him at No. 10 on the all-time reported national list which combines the NFHS National Record Book and the Cal-Hi Sports State Record Book. His 181 steals as a junior in 28 games will have a place in the national record book for a single-season. If he stays locked in defensively and doesn't miss any games, he might be only the second ever player with more than 600 career steals.
As of now, House is the tenth player ever with a reported 500 career steals, which is quite an accomplishment for any high school player, much less one that has done it on a team that has been nationally-ranked for his entire high school career. Three other points must be mentioned to put his milestone into proper perspective.
One, he's playing alongside another ball-hawk who has quite an impressive defensive resume as well in Grand Canyon-bound senior Jovan Blacksher. The close duo does help each other on the court and they know each other's games well, but over the course of 100 games one likely has taken some of the steals the other could get to. Second, House and Blacksher have also done it while leading Shadow Mountain to an incredible 91-9 record over the last four seasons going into the Torrey Pines Holiday Classic final versus Mission Bay. Since the beginning of the 2016-17 season, with House and Blacksher on the court Shadow Mountain has only lost four games. It wouldn't be as impressive an accomplishment if Shadow Mountain wasn't that good or if House gambled for steals while not thinking of Shadow Mountain first or if the program's focus was for him and/or Blacksher to rack up numbers instead of wins.
Lastly, his steals don't account for the overall impact his defense has on the outcome of games. Many teams simply get worn down in the fourth quarter in the face of the relentless pressure defense the Matadores bring the entire game. House's attitude towards defense also rubs off on teammates and makes them pick up their own defensive awareness. There is no telling how many other turnovers he creates as ball-handlers lose the ball out of bounds, forces a 10-second call in the backcourt or draws a charging call on a potent offensive player.
A perfect example of the latter occurred during Shadow Mountain's 81-59 semifinal win (FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS) over Foothills Christian. With 3:40 remaining in the second period, House drew a charging foul on Foothills' most skilled offensive player, Derrick Carter-Hollinger. It was his third foul and it had a huge impact on the outcome of the game because Carter-Hollinger was called for a technical foul with 4:13 remaining in the third quarter and his fifth and disqualifying foul less than a minute and a half later. Although it wasn't a steal, House defensive play was a game-changer
The national career leader with 719 steals is NBA Hall of Famer Jason Kidd, likely the best point guard California has ever produced and still one of the most dominant high school guards we've ever covered. Kidd racked up steals because he was such a great on-ball defender who could dominate both ends of the floor with speed, strength, and instincts. Similar to House, Kidd was as fast as his peers were without the ball as he was dribbling it and had great stamina, but we're talking about a ball hawk who was 6-foot-4, 205-pounds as a high school senior. What put Kidd alone in the 700 club was his freshman season when he averaged 5.3 spg to go along with 17.1 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 8.8 apg and 1.8 bpg and his monster senior season. It may be a very long time before anyone challenges Kidd's single-season (245 as a senior in 1991-92) and career steals marks.

505 – Jamey Harrison, Sour Lake (Texas) Hardin-Jefferson, 1990-92
501 – Jaelen House, Phoenix (Ariz.) Shadow Mountain, 2016-2019 (100) (CURRENT)
499 – Dee Brown, Maywood (Ill.) Proviso East, 1999-2002
498 – Kenny Brunner, Compton (Calif.) Dominguez, 1994-97 (137)
496 – Grant Pope, Waterville (Minn.) Elysian-Morristown, 2009-12
*According to NFHS National Record Book & Cal-Hi Sports State Record Book
The cutoff for the NFHS Record Book is the 437 steals by John McCartney of San Diego (Calif.) Lincoln (1987-90), so it's likely Blacksher will also etch his name into national record book. They'll be the only duo from the same high school (and incredibly at the same time) on the reported national list. It's a bit insane to think one high school backcourt can accumulate 1,000 steals in their high school career, but that's exactly what's going to occur with the Super Snatch Bros. To do it within the context of winning basketball makes it that much more sensational.

]]>The post Pinnacle of Preparation: An Inside Look at Pioneers' Tough Schedule appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>Gathering film, creating scouting reports and knowing the tendencies of out-of-town opponents is much easier nowadays with HUDL and Crossover film and the advent of social media, which is filled with countless highlight tapes of America’s top talent and allows coaches to communicate freely through direct messaging and expedite the process of exchanging film.
Take Pinnacle high out of Phoenix (Ariz.) for example, the team led by five-star point guard and Arizona-bound point guard Nico Mannion which has been through a rollercoaster the last few days.
Last Friday the Pioneers won an epically emotional game against in-state rival and FAB 50 No. 18 ranked Shadow Mountain, 82-80, on a last second half-court shot banked in by Mannion only to fall Tuesday night from a lesser-known, but equally tough Phoenix team in Mountain Pointe, 76-59.

“It was a big game and we were feeling good, but they wanted it more,” Mannion said of Tuesday’s let-down. “Mountain Pointe is a good team with two good bigs and they killed us.”
Pinnacle had Wednesday to recuperate from its crazy last six days, but its schedule doesn’t get any easier as it takes on Jalen Green-led Fresno (Calif.) San Joaquin Memorial Thursday on ESPN2 (9 pm ET) and FAB 50 No. 23 Temecula (Calif.) Rancho Christian headlined by the Mobley brothers, Isaiah and Evan, on Saturday (9 pm ET) at the three-day Hoophall West at Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral.
“We have a little gauntlet here,” Pinnacle coach Charles Wilde said. “We just try to keep everything the same, whether it's a big rivalry game or a state championship, we try to keep our emotions in check and treat it like we’re going to work.”
Coach Wilde has the benefit of having a player like Mannion who has played on plenty of big stages and in highly-touted individual match-ups throughout his travel ball career. Mannion’s experience in those types of games is something that he shares with his teammates.
“We just have to lock in,” Mannion said of Pinnacle’s next two games. “We had a good practice today and put in some new things, but we match up with San Joaquin Memorial really well. Saturday will be hard because of Rancho Christian’s bigs. Playing on ESPN is cool for the team because not everyone gets to be on that big stage.”
As far as game-planning specifically against top echelon talent, Wilde believes there is no special philosophy that follow.
“You’re just trying to slow them down and make sure that you try to take away their best moves,” he said. “You have to make their other players beat you and it’s basic stuff that you have to find and scout them on.”
The ultimate goal with putting together a tough schedule, according to Wilde, is not to search out appearances on ESPN or gain an extra layer of exposure, but instead to prepare his team for a long postseason run.
“Everyone’s goal is a state championship and we can learn from what we did Tuesday night,” he said. “We had a poor shooting third quarter and we let it affect us on the defensive end.”
And as Mannion pointed out, Pinnacle had seven losses heading into the 2018 postseason before running the table en route to a AIA Conference 6A title, winning the championship 77-60 over Mountain Pointe.
Regardless of the outcome Pinnacle’s games Thursday and Friday, the Pioneers are focused on their long-term goal of winning a state title and a more short-term goal of showing just how far basketball in the state of Arizona has come.
“It’s good for Arizona basketball,” Wilde said. “You’re finding out that there are good teams like us, but also other teams, like Mountain Pointe, that have talented kids.”
“The kids are working,” Mannion added. “There’s no secret to being good and you can tell kids train every day. It’s good for the state. A lot of people don’t think its a good basketball state, but if you put a starting five of Arizona kids together, we can compete with any state.”
On Thursday night, it was an ideal scenario for Pinnacle and Arizona high school basketball fans curious to get a look at talented junior Jalen Green and his team at San Joaquin Memorial (Fresno, Calif.). The locals wanted to see if all the hype was warranted...and see Pinnacle bounce back from the loss to Mountain Pointe (Phoenix, Ariz.).
The fans got what they wanted, as Green and Pinnacle's Nico Mannion went Mano a Mano to begin the game and Pinnacle came away with a 90-69 victory at Scottsdale's Chaparral High School. Both elite guards were on fire in the first quarter, hitting a variety of deep jumpers and scoring on drives to the basket. Green, arguably the nations' top 2020 guard prospect, started the game with a dunk, while Mannion hit a 3-pointer.
Green scored the first 18 points for San Joaquin Memorial (2-2) and between both players, they made seven of their first eight three-point attempts. Mannion had 20 points in the first period, and Pinnacle (7-1) led 29-21, as Green finished the quarter with 18 points. Both players cooled a bit in the second quarter, as the Pioneers took a 49-33 lead at halftime. At that point, Mannion had 23 points and Green 21.
The Panthers cut their deficit to as low as 11 points (62-51) but eventually Pinnacle pulled away and got its lead over 20 points (70-54) with 6:12 remaining in the game on a driving lay-up by junior Marcus Libman. Both Mannion and Green finished with 33 points apiece, but the Arizona-bound "Red Mamba" was satisfied with how his team played defensively versus Green and how the team bounced back.
"I thought it was big for us to win this game," Mannion said. "We didn't want to let Jalen beat us, and even though he scored alot of points, we did a good job on him in the second half.
"After we beat Shadow Mountain, Mountain Pointe wanted it more than us. We came out flat and didn't play well. Right now, we're not worried about our won-loss record. Of course, we want to have a good record, but we more importantly want to peak in February."
Mannion also stated how his reclassifying back up to the 2019 class and committing early to the University of Arizona has helped his approach and Pinnacle's fortunes.
"After I committed, everything has been easier," Mannion said. "I'm comfortable in my decision and it allows me to be comfortable playing my game. I'm stoked and can't wait to get up there (at Arizona)."
