Ronnie Harrell's Denver East squad only went 1-2 but each game was against a solid opponent. For the 3 games Harrell averaged: 15.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1 apg, 2.3 stl/gm, while shooting 43% FG & 44% 3P FG.

City of Palms Reviews:


Game 1
"Ronnie Harrell led the Angels in scoring with 18 points and six rebounds. Two others finished in double figures also, 2014 guards Dominique Collier and Jevon Griffin each had 15 on the afternoon."

Although it was a blowiut Harrell played well & has some highlights on this vid:



Game 2
@jerrymeyer247: Creighton signee Ronnie Harrell is a nice looking prospect. Needs more strength for college but long & has game. 9 at half #cityofpalms


"Ronnie Harrell, 2014 SG, Denver East: He has great size and shoots the ball well from deep. He also has decent ball-handling ability and uses his length well on the defensive end. The next step for him is becoming more engaged on a consistent basis and becoming a go-to scorer."

"Denver East bounced back from a 90-61 blowout loss to Philadelphia-Neumann-Goretti on Wednesday with a fast start and fast finish in a 62-42 consolation game win Thursday afternoon against Bishop Verot."

Game3
"Ronnie Harrell (2014 Creighton, Denver East): Creighton is getting a promising prospect in Harrell. His game and body are still developing, but his length and shooting ability make him a dangerous player. He finished with 14 points on 5-14 shooting including 3-10 from three to go along with four rebounds."
