Slowing but surely, Zahir Carrington, our 6’7”, 210 lb sophomore Power Forward has taken over the point lead on this team - a fact that has seemingly gone unnoticed by the press who have been more taken back by the team’s overall team play in the last two weeks. And that’s just fine, I’m sure, with Zahir, his teammates and coaches. But, let’s give props where they’re deserved. This 19 year-old former All-State high school volleyball player out of Philadelphia, has turned heads ever since given his first start against Norte Dame in his freshman year. Later selected to the PL All-Rookie Team, Zahir has continued his growth this year and will cause some match-up problems for more than one team when playing along side the team’s other “Twin Tower,” Bryan White, the PL’s leading rebounder.

Zahir’s rise to the top (all per game averages):

Freshman Year
Pts Scored 5.4
Rebounds 3.4
Minutes Player 17.1

First 5 Games Played This Season
Pts. Scored 9.4
Rebounds 3.6
Minutes Played 16.6

OOC Games Played This Season
Pts. Scored 11.9
Rebounds 3.5
Minutes Played 20.4

All PL Games Played This Season
Pts. Scored 15.4 (# 9 in the League)
Rebounds 5.2
Minutes Played 30.0

Last 3 PL Games Played This Season
Pts. Scored 17.3
Rebounds 6.0
Minutes Played 29.7

The rise in offensive efficiency has gone hand-in-hand with the decline in personal fouls, a problem that haunted him and the team in the early going. Take a look:

First 5 games of the year 4.0
OOC Games 3.9
PL Games 2.8
Last 3 PL Games 2.3
