Players to Watch
Alex Petrie: Petrie showed glimpses of what he’s capable of at the Zero Gravity Southern Classic. He opened up the tournament by hitting a record 9 threes, and continued to display a high skill level of confidence to go along with an advanced skill set throughout the weekend. With an offer already from Mount St. Mary’s, look for the lead guard to see his recruitment continue its expansion.

Gibson Jimerson: The 6’5″ wing was a productive cog for River City Reign 16U in the Zero Gravity Southern Classic. His versatility was evident as he attacked the boards with tenacity and exhibited a soft touch from the perimeter.

Dimitri Georgiadis: The Romania native owns big, strong hands and a broad frame. He runs the floor and crashes the boards tirelessly, and finishes efficiently through contact. Look for the sophomore to be an impact player in the paint.
