Antonio Pena 6'7 center Lincoln, NY. 9/28/04 John P Miciotta: 'The Weekend at IS8 -- Antonio Pena scored 31 points using a variety of moves both facing the basket in the post. For me, the best move of the day was a simple one where he got the ball on the low block against Bailey, turned to face him and rather than force his way to the hoop and risk a charging foul, he used a hard jab step that got Bailey just a little bit off balance and then floated in a tough fade away jumper just over Bailey's outstretched hand. When his high school career began Antonio was primarily a rebounder, but now he's on his way to becoming a versatile scorer who will cause major problems with his quickness for power forwards and perhaps with his strength for small forwards .
