"Doc" Edwards All-Tournament Team

The "Doc" Edwards tournament, hosted by Airline, saw the an 11 team field compete for the tournament championship. The field included Hornbeck (#2 in class C), Lakeview (#3 in class 2A), and a host of other teams from northwest Louisiana. In the final, Captain Shreve defeated Booker T. Washington (Shreveport) for the tournament title. There was also an eight member, all-tournament team selected at the tournament’s conclusion. We will take a look at the original eight selections and a host of others in this Prep Hoops version of the "Doc" Edwards all-tournament team. *Players with asterisks were named to the all-tournament team by the tournament committee.

Coleman was hard to handle in the post and scored or got fouled repeatedly during the tournament. All five deserved to make the all-tournament team. All-Tournament 2nd Team [player_tooltip player_id="1051643" first="Javonte" last="Howard"] (Lakeview) [player_tooltip player_id="1180576" first="Andri" last="Lewis"] (Woodlawn-S’port)* [player_tooltip player_id="1128492" first="D’evin" last="McDonald"] (Red River)* [player_tooltip player_id="1206638" first="Jaren" last="Mitcham"] (Hornbeck) Zamarion Neal (Northwood)* McDonald had the highest scoring game during the tournament with his 38 point effort against Woodlawn. He got to the rim with a series of dribble drives showing that he is a handful to guard. Lewis was pretty much unguardable as well helping Woodlawn secure the consolation championship and going 2-1 on the weekend. Neal helped propel Northwood to a 3rd place finish being one of the best two-way players on the weekend. Mitcham and Howard did not have 20 point scoring games but they passed and played defense just as well or better than taller guards on the weekend making them all-tournament performers in my eyes. All-Tournament Honorable Mention [player_tooltip player_id="1213621" first="Brady" last="Alexander"] (Hornbeck) - Exploded for 26 in the loss to Woodlawn in the Consolation final [player_tooltip player_id="1127250" first="Calvin" last="Collins"] (BTW-S’port) - Had 19 and two monster dunks in the semifinal win over Northwood Maurea Hudson (Northwood) - Scored 17 during the Falcons first round win over Hornbeck [player_tooltip player_id="1105538" first="Trevon" last="Jackson"] (Airline) - Was the Vikings leading scorer in their loss to Northwood [player_tooltip player_id="932850" first="Donavan" last="Seamster"] (Woodlawn) - Erupted for an 18 point 1st half in the Consolation final [player_tooltip player_id="1218214" first="Andre" last="Sowell"] (Lakeview) - Scored 11 points in one quarter during the Gators first round victory over Minden The next tournament for some of these teams will be the Bossier Invitational. Others will move into district play. Look for many, if not all, of these players to be on all district teams and All-state teams at the end of the year.
