Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the top small school standouts from the SEMO area from last week’s Rib City Shootout in Dexter, MO. These players compete at the Class 1,2 and 3 levels in the bootheel. [player_tooltip player_id="1070112" first="Rico" last="Coleman"] 6’3" Charleston: The 2023 wing led the Bluejays to the championship of their bracket division. He is extremely athletic with a versatile skill set, which makes him a tough cover. He can slash and create offense off the dribble and finish with short jumpers, runners and dunks at the rim. He rebounds well and he made a game-saving block at the end of a game against Glendale when they had a chance to tie at the end of regulation. He does plenty of multi-tasking for his team. [player_tooltip player_id="1180616" first="Trayvon" last="Thomas"] 6’2" Hayti: The 2022 guard was one of state's top sixth men last season as he provided instant offense for the Indians. As one of few returning veterans, he will continue to score at a high rate as well as be the primary ball handler and passer. He is very good at creating his own offense and scoring from all three levels. He did a nice job of making plays for his teammates as well. Trey Stanback 6’1" Charleston: A quick 2023 combo guard who helped the Bluejays win the championship of their bracket. He's shifty with the handles as he can break off a defender to get into the lane or create space for the jumper. He can also knock down the Corner 3. Jaren Schrader 6’4" Advance: A small-school 2022 forward who is a solid scoring threat around the basket. He moves well in the low post area and he knows how to use his body to finish. He will also step out and hit the mid-range jumper off the catch. He is very productive without trying to force the issue to much. McCade Dixon 5’9" Winona: A small school 2023 guard who play much bigger than his actual height. He displayed excellent athleticism as he had know problems slashing to the basket and scoring inside at the rim. He was fearless in his pursuits to the basket and active on the defensive end.
