POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. — McEachern High School played host to the Georgia Elite Eight Tip-Off Classic over the weekend. The two-night event saw big-time performances from prospects for all levels. 

Here’s the second part of our coverage of the weekend’s standout performers: 

Kingston Clahar - Newton - 2029

Clahar had one of the best two-way performances of the weekend. He applied terrific on-ball pressure and made it difficult for St. Francis’ guards to get into the teeth of the Rams’ defense. On the other side of the ball, Clahar was able to get wherever he wanted with the ball for good looks. Clahar got to the rim with relative ease throughout the game. The sophomore guard is one to keep tabs on in what’s looking like a promising 2029 class. 

Anthony Moon - Pebblebrook - 2027

Moon has been a problem for a while now at Pebblebrook. His versatility gives teams issues. At 6-foot-7, Moon can play both inside and out which he did on Saturday. He knocked down shots, finished plays at the rim. Moon’s impact extends beyond scoring where he’s a versatile defender and strong rebounding presence. He finished with 20-plus points for the Falcons. Moon is currently one of the best available seniors in Georgia. With more games like this, Moon’s list of college suitors will only grow. 

Alvin Pettway - McEachern - 2029

A big man with a lot of promise, Pettway is going to be starring in the McEachern paint for the next few seasons. Big with plus length, Pettway is productive because of his size, skill, length. He’s a big man who doesn’t try to float which is refreshing. He gave the Indians a double-double. Where Pettway's skill shines through is in his footwork and ability to be an offensive hub from the post. Pettway has a good feel as a passer and can make teams who over help pay by finding open shooters on the perimeter. 

Chase Daniels - Mount Vernon - 2027

Daniels had a great summer. His game has taken steps forward. On Saturday, he shot the cover off the ball with six-made 3-pointers. When Mount Vernon needed someone to step up, Daniels was one of the guys who made plays. He hit two threes to keep them within striking distance of Kell and grabbed a steal and assist to give the Mustangs the lead. He’s more than capable of replicating this kind of shooting performance throughout the winter. 

Bryson Jatta - Hillgrove - 2028

Jatta had an explosive start for Hillgrove against Grayson. He was the spark for the Hawks early on. Between his athleticism and shotmaking, Jatta was central to Hillgrove’s offense. His hustle on both ends was notable as well. Jatta is a good positional rebounder and was helpful in that regard. He finished with 25 points. Combined with Asa Montgomery, he helped make up 50 of the team’s 65 points. 

Austin Leonard - Grayson - 2029

Leonard has as high of a floor as any prospect in Georgia. In Grayson’s win on Saturday, he finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds while being saddled with foul trouble. It wasn’t Leonard’s best game, but he still produced at a high enough level to impact winning which is his best attribute. He finds ways to get things done. Leonard is a great rebounding guard and makes the game easy for himself and others. 

Masai Knight - Gainesville - 2027

Knight is going to be a big-time piece for Gainesville this year. After KJ White graduated, the Red Elephants needed a guard who could fill his shoes, and Knight looks like he’ll be able to help in that regard. He’s a playmaker first, but he can help out in the scoring department too. Knight was able to get Gainesville’s offense going with dribble penetration and by moving the ball. He added double-figure scoring as well. 

Tae Mcallum - Redan - 2029 

Mcallum is a name to look out for at Redan. Paired with Amare Medhin, he helps make up a talented sophomore perimeter for the Raiders. He is an impressive athlete with above-the-rim ability. Mcallum had a few eye-popping moments that showcased his natural ability. Look out for him over the next couple of years. 

Max Cook - Kell - 2027

Max Cook had big moments for Kell a season ago. Now he’s going to be one of their primary options. He can pack a scoring punch with shotmaking and ability to create his own shot. He finished in double figures for the Longhorns and made timely shots. 

Laron Mack - Dutchtown - 2028

Mack’s ability to make quick and good decisions from the post was impressive to watch. He can be a creator from the middle of the key for Dutchtown. Mack can play big or on the perimeter. He’s going to be used in the post a lot for the Bulldogs this season, and it looks like he’ll be a good playmaker for them from that spot.
