In the thid of five state-wide breakdowns — central Missouri, southwest Missouri, central Missouri and St. Louis — we break down the POY candidates from the southeast region of the state.
Kevin Jones, 6-0, G, Sikeston (2019)
A hard-nosed, gritty guard that defends and is a knock down shooter. Averaged nearly 10 points per game as a freshman last season for a state runner-up Sikeston squad and shot 37 percent from long distance.
Marcedus Leech, 6-5, G, Poplar Bluff (2019)
One of the nation’s premier prospects in the Class of 2019, Leech is coming off a monster freshman season that saw him average 21 points per game and shoot 43 percent from behind the 3-point arc.
Willie Lucas, 6-6, F, Poplar Bluff (2017)
Versatile inside-outside player that can do a little bit of everything, Lucas is a 220-pound left hander that put up big numbers a year ago for a 20-win Poplar Bluff squad. He averaged 21.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and made 29 3-pointers.
Fred Thatch, 6-3, G, Sikeston (2018)
One of the state’s top players, Thatch is a versatile inside-outside player that already holds several college offers. He averaged a team-high 20.2 points per game last season and added 10.6 rebounds while shooting 39 percent from behind the 3-point arc.
Javarcus Ward, 5-8, PG, New Madrid Central (2017)
Averaged 18 points per game last season to go along 3.2 assists per game, Ward will be counted on for a big season to help New Madrid turn around a 9-17 season.
