Familiar faces in new places

There will be familiar faces in new places this upcoming season. I have been hearing noise since the end of last season about certain players transferring to a different high school to begin the 2019 season.

I have contacted a long list of players to get confirmation on if the rumors are true. It took a minute for some of the players to confirm their next destination. 

But, I'm here now with a long list of transfers. 

Here's what I have so far:

Anterrio Jeffries: The senior forward was at Melrose last season. He will spend his final year of high school at Overton.

Avionne Suttle: The junior guard is coming off a Class AA Championship season at Wooddale. Joining 2021 guard/forward Alex Anderson at Tipton-Rosemark Academy was once his first option. Now, a change of heart will have Suttle at Overton.
