<p><strong>Passion Region Finals: 15U Standouts</strong></p> <p><strong>2024 6-6 W [player_tooltip player_id="1163380" first="Carter" last="McDole"] – Athletes of Influence – Montverde Academy (FL)<br /> </strong>The TikTok star has some game. [player_tooltip player_id="1163380" first="Carter" last="McDole"] is a dynamic combo-forward that can play all over the floor. He took over in the second half against Spartans Elite, scoring 13 of his 20 points while finishing with 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. McDole attacked the rim non-stop. He went 8-12 from the line, using his length and athleticism to put pressure on the undersized opposition. The lefty can score with his back to the basket but also has graceful long strides, using a eurostep in traffic. McDole balances his time on the perimeter with post touches. He can defend 1-5. Carter has major upside and will be a big-time recruit.</p> <p><strong>2024 6-0 G Reginald Reinhardt – Stampede 2024 – Wellington (FL)<br /> </strong>Reggie Reinhardt is a stud scorer. He’s a compact guard with a strong frame. Reinhardt has an easy release with limited lift. He’s good off the catch. Reinhardt poured in 27 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.</p> <p><strong>2024 6-0 G Jaden Baker – Spartans Elite – Bradenton Christian (FL)<br /> </strong>Smooth, effective and tough are adjectives that come to mind when watching Jaden Baker. The skilled guard has a well-balanced floor game. He does a little bit of everything. Baker was fun to watch in transition, weaving his way through defenders and finishing at the rim. Jaden moves his feet well defensively. His offense was his calling card on Sunday, finishing with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in a loss to AOI.</p> <p><strong>2025 5-9 PG David Culbreath – Tribe ATL 2024 – Duluth<br /> </strong>David Culbreath will make an immediate impact at Duluth and should start Day 1.  Culbreath has an advanced feel. He’s on the smaller side, but he’s got a strong body and isn’t afraid to cut through the defense and finish at the rim. Culbreath is a high motor player. He flies around the floor making plays. He’s a good shooter off the dribble and a three-level scorer. He put up 23 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 6 steals in a 60-49 win over the KA Nightmares.</p> <p><strong>2024 6-4 PF [player_tooltip player_id="1163412" first="Tong" last="Tong"] – KA Nightmares – Bishop Kenny (FL)<br /> </strong>Listed at 6-foot-4, [player_tooltip player_id="1163412" first="Tong" last="Tong"]’s rebounding and scoring inside makes him feel closer to 6-foot-6. There wasn’t a lot of flash to his game vs. Tribe ATL, instead there was a lot of substance. He collected 12 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Tong is long and keeps plays alive with his effort.</p> <p><strong>2024 6-2 F Brayden Autenrieth – SBT 2024 – North Paulding<br /> </strong>Coming from an accomplished family full of multisport athletes, Autenrieth is the latest football/basketball combo. He’s a weight room warrior and uses his strength to carve out space on rebounds and when finishing through contact. He had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist vs. EENG. He will be usable piece over his career as an enforcer with some offense in the paint.</p>
