Johnson’s stock continues to sore as his role with the Patriots expands. He followed up his performance in Wichita Falls, Texas with another stellar outing in Tulsa. Johnson and the Patriots were slowed down in pace, but it didn’t effect their scoring. He continued to move the ball well across the perimeter and feeding the post. He also drove the ball well in both transition and half court sets. Johnson may find himself on many collegiate teams radar midway through the season.
2017 PC West Guard Gerren Jackson
Jackson has given the Patriots a scoring boost in the early going of the preseason. He was up to his usual antics firing away from midrange and using his length to score buckets around the rim. Jackson also brought a lot of energy to the floor, all while staying poised and playing under control. His efficiency and high basketball IQ is what makes him special.
2017 Muskogee Point Guard Tyreece Berry
Berry is a deadeye sniper from long range and can fill up the scoring column in a hurry. He is a shifty Point Guard, who does a great job of controlling the tempo of the game. Defensively, Berry took on the challenges of guarding some of the top guards in the state and held his own in hopes of rising to the elite level.
2018 Booker T. Washington Guard Elisha Brantley
Brantly has matured a lot from year one to year two. He stepped into a bigger role Saturday with the absences of starting Point Guard RJ Fuqua. He showed he is ready to contribute at this level. He usually spots up from three but in Fuqua’s absence, Brantley had to get his hands dirty on the defensive and drive the ball to the hoop more. Brantley is still young but coming into his own as a Hornet.
2016 Booker T. Washington Guard Khobe Austin-Johnson
In Fuquas absences, Austin-Johnson was handed the keys to the Ferrari that is the BTW offense. His fast and smooth joy ride is what propelled Booker T. Washington into solid outings and multiple wins on Saturday. He showed the balance within his game bouncing back and forth between scorer and facilitator. Austin-Johnson scored the ball well off the bounce and sees the floor well in transition. If he continues this pace of play and efficiency the Ferrari is in good hands.
2016 Tulsa Central Guard Mike Harris
Harris continues to impress coming into his final year at Central. He is the second scoring option in the Braves offense behind Elijah Landrum. A role that he not only embraces, but thrives in. Harris is always going to get his from deep, but he also did a great job driving to the lane and setting up teammates. Harris is a tough guard who keeps the intensity of this team high. His stock continues to rise as the season nears.
