After scoring 38 points in his first game this season, Jaquan had 35 points in his team's loss Tuesday night. Pope Pius XI's next game is Friday night vs. Wauwatosa East HS.
Jaquan Johnson's Pope Pius XI team played their first conference game tonight, and it was against Wisconsin Lutheran, the best team in the conference, and one of the top teams in Wisconsin, lead by 5-star Duke commit Kon Knueppel. Pius XI hung close into the 2nd half, but then Wisconsin Lutheran pulled away and won easily 98-65.

It was an exciting game. Both teams lacked size, but New Berlin West made up for it with very good outside shooting. Pius XI mostly stayed in contention because Jaquan Johnson scored a lot, even with double-teams, and when he wasn't scoring, he was making nifty assist passes to teammates. New Berlin West built a double digit lead, 68-57, with about 3 minutes left, but Pius XI came back thanks to pressure defense forcing multiple turnovers, plus some clutch shooting to outscore their opponents 13-2 to tie the game 70-70 at the end of regulation. The overtime stayed close, but Pius XI pulled ahead and held on to win 82-77.
They play 18 minute halves, and there is no shot clock, and they didn't need one. It's surprising how fast the teams played. Rarely did it take either team more than 8-10 seconds to get a shot off.

JaQuan looks real good and smooth. Not bad in the clutch with FTs - great court vision. Loved that dunk on the drive in traffic over the defender!

Man, this kid's got some hops! I don't care if you're under 6 feet when you're as quick and explosive as he is. I can't wait until he gets to Bradley!

That's not correct. The final was 79-10. Here are the full stats - https://www.wissports.net/game/show/40527866?subseason=899860&referrer=8120062
As posted last night the halftime score was 50-2. The game would have been an even bigger blowout, except the Pius XI girls held the ball for lengthy stretches in the 2nd half (there is no shot clock) to hold down the score.
Also, correction on the score of last night's Pope Pius XI boys game (hard to get accurate info immediately after games)-
Pius XI BEAT West Allis Central 81-68 to improve to 4-3,
Jaquan Johnson had 50 points on 20-29 shooting, 6-10 FTs, and 4-9 from three. He also had 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 6 steals.
Box score- https://www.wissports.net/game/show/40400701?subseason=896180&referrer=8069705
He is now averaging 33.6 points per game.

I spent some time watching HS game video for Jaquan and was extremely disappointed. His on the ball and especially off the ball defensive habits and behaviors are awful and in my opinion, inexcusable. He appears to take an extremely casual approach to basketball. In my opinion, these habits are unlikely to change at the next level and he will be a liability when on the floor. I understand that anyone can change but his lack of effort is glaring. Any D-1 kid will love playing against him. I would love to hear what Coach Wardle thinks about his defensive shortcomings and how confident he is that he will be able to change his effort and bad habits. Also, for a guy with the nickname "Bully", he ends up on the floor quite often when driving to the rim. I like guys who can attack the rim, go chest to chest in a strong manner and get to the FT line without falling to the floor nearly every time. When a guy like this doesn't score and doesn't get the benefit of a call, we will likely find him lying on the floor and slow to get up and sprint the floor in transition. On a positive note, he does appear to get to the line often and can shoot it.
I have watched several of his games, too. And I think you could say the same things about any of his teammates, and pretty much the same for the opposing players.
4 of his last 5 games, the winning score has been in the 80's. And the one prior to those, the winning score was 98 points. Those kinds of scores are rarely seen in high school games in our area. They just don't appear to play much, if any, defense in those Wisconsin leagues. I think it could have more to do with the coaching than the individual players' efforts, since it seems all the players play that way. I'm pretty sure he'll have to play good defense to play at Bradley.

Probably, is told not to get into foul trouble. He scores most of the teams points every game. We are not going to get guys that are ready for D1 ball as a freshman. Those guys are going to the bigger schools. Have to take chances that’s the fun part. Bad part is if you get a good one you can’t keep them away from the big boys. Rather you want to believe it or not we are in the process of rebuilding.
