NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jayden Gardner - Explodes for 26 points Gardner accumulated 26 points (12-15 FG, 2-5 FT) and three rebounds across 25 minutes during Friday's 72-45 win over Maryland Eastern Shore.
Impact Gardner endured a tough start to the season with three straight single-digit scoring performances, but he's beginning to turn things around of late. He has scored in double digits in his last two appearances while racking up 38 total points and going 15-for-20 combined from the field in those two games.

Kadin Shedrick - Perfect from field Friday Shedrick accumulated 13 points (4-4 FG, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 17 minutes during Friday's 72-45 win over Maryland Eastern Shore.
Impact Shedrick has been inconsistent with his scoring figures all season long, and while this wasn't his best output of the campaign, he managed to make every single shot he attempted. The efficiency has been one of Shedrick's best traits this season, as he's making 73.9 percent of his attempts so far.

Impact Gardner is enduring a rough start to the season, and in fact, this was his first game with 10 or more points in the current campaign. The lack of efficiency remains an issue, though, as the senior has only hit 35 percent of his shots across his first four appearances.

Impact Franklin surpassed the 20-point mark for the second time in three appearances this season, and while that might not be a common thing going forward, there's no doubt he should be one of the team's go-to scorers on any given night. He's been absolutely deadly from three as well, going 9-for-17 from behind the arc in those three contests.
