Thursday Night Highlights (Dec. 3)

<h4> </h4> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the highlights from Thursday night’s tournament activity around the state.</p> <h4>Potent Trio at Hayti</h4> <p>The tip-seeded Hayti Indians advanced to the championship game of the Gideon Tournament with a 68-62 victory over Clarkton. Hayti features a potent trio of guards in 6’3 2022 Trayvon Thomas, 5’8 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="985221" first="Tyliek" last="Moore"] and 5’8 2021 Quindale Malone. Thomas and Moore finished with 22 points each while Malone added 14 points.</p> <p>Thomas is an athletic bucket-getter who handles the ball and can score at all three levels. Moore and Malone are quick waterbug guards who can penetrate and knock down 3-pointers. Moore can really put in the points when he gets in a full lather.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Excitement in Mid Missouri </h4> <p>Boonville High 2022 guard Luke Green earned the big hero of the night status on Thursday night. The 6’2 Green swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Pirates a 62-61 victory over Southern Boone in the semifinals of the Tri-County Tournament at Blair Oaks. Green got the ball with five seconds left and executed two pump fakes before sinking his dramatic game winner.</p> <p>Boonville’s individual standout of the night was 6’6 2021 forward [player_tooltip player_id="985219" first="Charlie" last="Bronakowski"], who scored 29 points. He is a big strong combo forward who attacked the basket off the dribble and powered his way to inside buckets and offensive rebounds.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>[player_tooltip player_id="824124" first="Jalen" last="Hampton"] rampage continues</h4> <p>University High 2021 forward continued his dominant early-season play with a 29 point, 14-rebound performance in the Lions victory at Westminster in a battle of excellent Class 4 teams. The 6’7 Hampton was the MVP of last week’s Borgia Turkey Tourney after leading the Lions to the championship.</p> <h4>Sparking Individual Performances<br /> <br /> </h4> <p>*Class of 2021 guard [player_tooltip player_id="984320" first="Blake" last="Fowler"] of Campbell scored 33 points in a 76-56 victory over Neelyville in the semifinals of the Gideon Tournament </p> <p>*Class of 2021 guard [player_tooltip player_id="824208" first="Landon" last="Austin"] of Neosho scored a career-high 39 points in an 81-65 victory over Aurora.</p> <p>*Class of 2023 forward Tyree Goolsby of Battle had 20 points and 14 rebounds in a victory over St. James at the Sullivan Tournament.
