Flight 22 Jamboree Preview
South Columbus HS
The South Columbus HS Stallions had a difficult season last year finishing with a record of 6-15 overall, they lose their top two leading scorer due to graduation so they will be depending on the younger players to contribute in a major way. Junior Guard Traquan Bellamy is one who be called on to do more, he averaged 7 Points, 4 Assist and 5 rebounds last year but will need to produce more for the team this season. Senior Forward Tyrek Long led the team in rebounding last season and will need to do the same thing for the squad this year.
Purnell Swett HS
Purnell Swett is another team that would look to bounce back from a rather disappointing season last year, they finished 3-18 last season and will look to have a better overall season this year. They return quite a few players as they had a rather young roster last season, one of those players is Sophomore Forward Xavier Jones who almost averaged a double/double last season with 10 Points and 9 Rebounds per game as a Freshman. 6’3 Junior Guard Kyler Page is another player that returns for Purnell Swett who had solid numbers last year averaging 10 Points, 3 assist and 3 Rebounds.
New Life Christian Academy
The Monarchs have basically rebuilt their entire roster this season with features two top 30 2020 Players in the state in Reggie Raynor and Reggie Walton. They also have Unsigned Senior Wing Arshon King who has been on a mission in the preseason as he went for 38 in a game recently against a Post grad program. Their bench features some very good young talent in 2020 and 2021 and they have some juniors and seniors in the mix that will all play a role. Without a doubt, New Life is one of the more intriguing teams that will be in the building.
