  Written by Chris Walker, this article is being read by

  an automated voice brought to you by Everlett. Danny Snyder
• 0:22
  wasn't told to be the ball on Tuesday night, but
• 0:25
  to be aggressive with it. The glen Bard East senior
• 0:28
  received his coach's message loud and clear, and then made
• 0:31
  it happen, scoring eleven points in the decisive fourth quarter
• 0:34
  of the rams eighty six seventy eight win over Yorkville
• 0:37
  Christian at the Canyon in Yorkville. Snyder finished with eighteen points,
• 0:42
  with all but two in the second half. He was
• 0:45
  one of four Rams in double figures. I kind of
• 0:48
  got off to a slow start, but you know, coaches
• 0:51
  are always preaching to be aggressive, he said, And once
• 0:54
  I got that drive, I just kept going that drive.
• 0:58
  With seven oh nine left in the fourth court gave
• 1:00
  the Rams twenty one to two, the lead back at
• 1:03
  sixty one sixty during a back and forth battle against
• 1:06
  the Mustangs thirteen to eight. He's so unselfish. We've always
• 1:10
  got to tell him to be aggressive. Rams coach Eric
• 1:13
  Kelly said he's one of best shooters in the area.
• 1:16
  Next to senior teammate McColl and, the I don't know
• 1:18
  a better shooter, and so we want guys like him
• 1:21
  to get up shots. We always say we want him
• 1:23
  to get fifteen to twenty shots. So in the second
• 1:25
  half he had his opportunity. He opened up with a
• 1:28
  drive and seeing the ball go through the basket. He
• 1:30
  got a couple threes and knocked him down and that
• 1:31
  was good to see. Like I said, he's one of
• 1:33
  the best shooters and players in the area. With four
• 1:36
  fifty left, Snyder drained a three to extend glen Bard
• 1:39
  East's lead to seventy to sixty six. His three point
• 1:43
  play on a baseline drive increased it to seven three
• 1:45
  to sixty eight. With two fifty four to play. We
• 1:49
  had a high ball screen and I kept being aggressive
• 1:51
  on those, Snyder said. Coaches kept saying that, so just
• 1:53
  tried to get downhill hill. It was a good team effort.
• 1:56
  Got off to a bit of a slow start, but
• 1:58
  we were able to pick it up throughout the game.
• 2:00
  Yorkfield Christians Jade and Riley, who led all players with
• 2:03
  twenty nine points, got a couple of them on free
• 2:05
  throws to get the Mustangs to within seventy three seventy
• 2:08
  with two forty four remaining, but they wouldn't get any closer.
• 2:12
  I'd say we did really good. Actually, Riley said, we're
• 2:15
  in a little slump right now. We've been going up
• 2:18
  and down. We were playing really good at the beginning
• 2:20
  of the season and then hit a slump and weren't
• 2:22
  playing that good and we weren't playing together. And in
• 2:24
  practice yesterday, I think nobody thought we'd be prepared for today,
• 2:27
  and we came out prepared. Riley was ten of ten
• 2:30
  from the free throw line. Trey Alford scored nineteen points
• 2:34
  and fellow junior James Maxwell scored eleven for the Mustangs.
• 2:39
  Coach Aaron Sovereign had everything on the scouting report. Riley
• 2:42
  said it was impressive because he told us everything they
• 2:46
  were going to do. McHale Knee hit two tough shots,
• 2:51
  Jacob Marnowski got an uncontested layup on a near turnover,
• 2:55
  and then made two free throws to push the lead
• 2:57
  to seven seven seventy. Snyder's three with one twenty eight
• 3:01
  left gave the Rams their first double digit lead at
• 3:05
  eighty to seventy. Knie, who drained five threes led the
• 3:09
  senior laden Rams with twenty two points. Keenan House had
• 3:13
  nineteen points, Maryknowski scored seventeen points, and Sam Walton had
• 3:17
  eight points and thirteen rebounds. Knie is one of the
• 3:20
  best shooters, not just in the state, he's one of
• 3:22
  the best in the country, and he proved that this
• 3:25
  summer playing one of the toughest AAU circuits, the Adidas Circuit.
• 3:28
  Kelly said he's proved it time and time again. He's
• 3:31
  been playing varsity basketball for four years. He's a high
• 3:34
  IQ guy and he's unselfish. He could take another five
• 3:37
  to ten shots, but he's unselfish and wants to get
• 3:39
  other guys involved. He doesn't have to score thirty points
• 3:43
  for us to win because we have five guys who
• 3:45
  can score double figures. He's around twenty now and on
• 3:48
  quite a roll. I think he has twenty in his
• 3:50
  last seven out of eight games. It's good to see
• 3:52
  and we want to keep it going until the middle
• 3:54
  of March. Lembardies led forty two forty at half and
• 3:58
  trailed sixty to fifty nine entering the fourth quarter. The
• 4:02
  reason we wanted to play this game and come out
• 4:04
  here is because they have one of the best guards,
• 4:06
  Riley in the area, a Division I kid, Kelly said,
• 4:10
  And when we go to the playoffs and where we
• 4:12
  want to go with regionals, Sectionals, teams that go far
• 4:14
  are going to have really good guards. We wanted to
• 4:17
  be able to experience this, to go against someone of
• 4:20
  that caliber, so we have something to call upon.
