Class of 2022 District Tournament Stock Risers

<p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top Class of 2022 stock risers from last weekend’s district tournament action at the Class 1, 2 and 3 levels.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="984513" first="Kristian" last="Davis"] 6’3" O’Fallon-Christian: The talented shooting guard had 21 points, seven rebounds and  four steals in the Eagles’ 75-61 victory over Trinity in the Class 3, District 5 championship game. He is an all around talent who knows how to create his own shot. He missed last year's postseason run to the state quarterfinals with an injury, so he's determined to make up for lost time.</p> <p>Lawson Beem 5’10" Skyline: The talented point guard scored a game-high 30 points in Skyline's 62-31 victory over Butler in the Class 3, District 13 championship game. He has good quickness, flashy handles and the ability to create his own offense off the dribble. He was a key player in Skyline's run to the Class 2 state-championship game last season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="993528" first="Joshua" last="Talton"] 6’1" Monroe City: The multi-faceted guard did everything in the Panthers' 74-40 victory over Fayette in the Class 3, District 8 championship game. He scored a game-high 22 points along with seven rebounds and four assists. He can operate inside or outside, attack the basket or hit jumpers and rebound and play good defense. He also threw down a big dunk in the first quarter during the Panthers' first-quarter surge that broke the game open.</p> <p>Caiden Bailey 6'3" Mid-Buchanan: The athletic wing player scored a game-high 24 points in the Dragons 71-35 victory over Gallatin in the Class 2, District 15 championship game. Bailey really warmed up in the second quarter when he hit three 3-pointers and scored in transition. He is a potent offensive weapon who also excels on the football field, where he was an All-State wide receiver on a state runner-up team.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="992315" first="Brady" last="Hughes"] 6’3" Wellington-Napoleon: The junior wing player scored 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds in Well-Nap's 62-51 victory over Crest Ridge in the Class 2, District 14 championship game. He operates very well around the basket with a variety of moves and a soft shooting touch inside and he compliments it with a nice 3-point stroke.</p> <p>Pierson Tichenor 6'3" Northwest (Hughesville): The athletic forward scored a game-high 27 points in the Mustangs 57-52 victory over Leeton in the Class 1, District 9 championship game. He is a problem around the basket because he is so athletic and he can score in a variety of ways inside. He can also get buckets off the drive while being disruptive on defense with his length.</p>
