Austin Leonard - Grayson - 2029

Had a generator type of game as he ramped up throughout the contest. He provided timely buckets and was one of the younger players on the floor making his presence felt. Already a highly touted national recruit, he showed why with his feel, ability to create off the dribble, knock down the open shot and get to the rim with ease. Good size and length allowed him to make some plays defensively but overall his 18pts were crucial in helping secure the win over Hillgrove.  

Isaiah Dorsainvil - Dutchtown - 2028 

First thing I always speak on is his maturity at his age on the court and leadership qualities but this weekend the buckets followed. He has a comfortable dribble pull up as well as being a catch and shoot option, but as one of the lead guards, he is comfortable with the ball in his hand and making plays for himself and others. A very efficient 26pts, along with his leadership, was pivotal in his victory over Pebblebrook.  

Jagger Whitty - Pebblebrook - 2028 

Pebblebrook always keeps some quality pieces behind their feeder pool and coaching, and JW was a player that caught my attention throughout the contest. Good length, disruptive defensively and provided buckets throughout the contest for this group. The younger brother of Kingston Whitty (current NC State guard and former GA Hoops standout), I am intrigued to see his continued growth especially with big pro passing down gems along with the coaching currently around him.  

Noah Brady - Mt. Vernon - 2027 

Scored 16 of his 17 pts in the second half and once he turned it on and got aggressive started to show why many ppl have raved about him over the years. Good length and ability to put the ball on the floor at his size makes him such a mismatch to guard, but the aggression will be needed for this group to continue to thrive. 

Anthony Moreno - Kell - 2030

Been keeping tabs on him for a few years on the middle school and aau circuit, now finally making his highsschool debut, AM did not miss a beat. Whether its his swag on the court, a crafty pass, a bucket, or a defensive presence, AM will be ready to make the play. While usually one of the smaller guys on the court, he packs a big game that should not be overlooked or taken light due to age and size. In a tough loss to Mt. Vernon, he led all scores with 18pts showing he's ready to contribute sooner rather than later.  

Ash Vollrath - Gainesville - 2027

As Gainesville loses Charlie Gershmal and Kevin Curtis to graduation not even a year ago, Ash inserts himself as another quality post presence for the Red Elephants to build on. He took advantage of his opponents' lack of size and showed patience, reliability and a sound post-game enroute to 21pts and a win. He played comfortable with his back to the basket and found himself cleaning up the glass and creating a second chance opportunity for his group. Would like to see him again against more sound size, but he easily inserted his name as an impact player to watch for this group moving forward. 

Masai Knight - Gainesville - 2027 

Senior guard knew how to push the break and attack the defense. Did a good job getting to the ft line and keeping the game out of reach with his presence and understanding of the game. Keeps it simple, and a true lead guard; Knight is most comfortable operating with the basketball in his hands, where he can dictate tempo, initiate offensive sets, and create scoring opportunities for teammates. No wasted movements and a strong will to lead this group.
