Jamarion Ryans Jamarion Ryans 5'11" | NA lbs | PG Hale County | 2022 State #NA Nation AL , 5’11 PG, Hale County: With a 37 point outburst last week this kid has been getting busy all month long. His ability to breakdown defense and get to the basket and finish at the rim has been high level. Not to mention his parking lot range. Love how this guy has been putting it down all season long.
Martavious Russell Martavious Russell 6'4" | NA lbs | SF Sipsey Valley | 2022 State #239 Nation AL , 6’4 CG, Sipsey Valley: Talking about going viral. Do yourself a favor and go watch some of this kids highlights from this month and season. From huge scoring nights to #SCTop10 worthy dunks he has been lighting up west Alabama. He is making a real push for the #1 player in the entire class.
Javion Belle-Mccrary Javion Belle-Mccrary 6'3" | NA lbs | CG Pickens County | 2022 State #NA Nation AL , 6’3 CG, Pickens County: Every night when I do my rounds to get film and numbers this kids numbers and tape continue to pop up. And it’s always 26/6/7 or 34/7/8 and so on. He has been making his 1A team compete with much bigger schools and showing he is a next-level talent. Looking for even bigger numbers as we get into February and playoff runs.
Antonio Kite Antonio Kite 6'1" | NA lbs | PG Anniston | 2022 State #240 Nation AL , 6’2 PG, Anniston: With the videos he has had over the last month go viral he will soon have a “Blue Check” by his name on Instagram. From @Filayyyy videos to being invited to join the JellyFam with the crazy layup package he has definitely had a month to rave about. Now his play on the court and not on cam is even better if you can imagine averaging over 30 points and double-digit assist in the month of January.
Rylan Houck Rylan Houck 6'5" | NA lbs | SF Oxford | 2022 State #NA Nation AL , 6’5 SF, Oxford: “A man amongst boys!” He has really picked up his production over the last month putting up over 20 points and 10 rebounds a game. His full range of productivity cannot be seen all the time in the stat sheets. He handles and he pass it at a high level and he can guard just about any position on the floor. He is leading his #1 ranked Class 6A Yellow Jackets.
