“Simon is an extremely instinctive player who understands spacing and angles better than any high school forward I have seen in many years in the Sacramento area. When he finds the ball in the tight pockets, he is clinical in his finishing, rarely wasting a chance. He’s an incredible player.”
Joel Williams
Head Coach
