Neumann Goretti point guard Khaafiq Myers isn’t one to get anxious in big games or against tough opponents. As a result, the Saints’ coaches expected the duo to perform.
On Sunday at Philly High School Live’s first session, all eyes were on Court Two in Jefferson University’s Gallagher Athletic Center.
“‘Fiq put on full display what he can do,” Saints assistant coach John Brennan said. “He controls the game entirely. He can score at three different levels. … When he wasn’t knocking down the corner floaters, he was facilitating finding the corner shooters.” “Just being physical with them,” Myers said. “You can’t go to the paint soft; it’s going to get blocked. But when you’re getting physical, going straight downhill, getting to where you need to go on the court, nobody can stop it.”
“Last year, I was like a senior,” Myers said. “I had to be a leader because I was the point guard … last year was a lot of pressure because [I thought], ‘I’m starting now, and I was just on the bench.’ ” As if the stakes of a PCL semifinal matchup weren’t enough, the game also came in front of a packed crowd at the Palestra. The pressure didn’t faze Myers, and instead, it became a motivating opportunity.
“I got the experience now,” Myers said. “I know [with] all the trials and tribulations that come with it, it’s not always going to be good, and it’s not always going to be bad. … [This year] is like the same thing but being even better and being an even better leader.”
