The event is run by Marcus McGee.</p> <p>Check out these players...</p> <p>Dylan Rogers - St. Andrew’s</p> <p>The Scots have done a great job this season with a trio of players in double-figures. One of those kids is 6-foot-8 Dylan Rogers. The power forward is averaging 13.7 points, 8.9 rebounds and two blocks per game. Rogers has a double-double in four games. Against Benjamin, he had 15 points and eight rebounds while blocking eight shots.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="956772" first="Levertis" last="Williams"] Jr. - Florida Chrisitan</p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="956772" first="Levertis" last="Williams"] Jr. has been solid for the 10-6 Patriots. The 6-foot-2 guard is averaging 12.8 points and team-best 6.9 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. Against Dillard, Williams Jr. had 23 points and three 3-pointers while shooting 62 percent from the floor overall. In another outing against Pembroke Pines Charter, he finished with 22 points and ten rebounds. Fellow seniors [player_tooltip player_id="829513" first="Nicholas" last="Mate"] and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814930" first="Jose" last="Amat"] III</strong> have combined for 93 3-pointers.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="955774" first="Kolby" last="King"] - Pembroke Pines Charter</p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="955774" first="Kolby" last="King"] is one of the best players in this field. The 6-foot-2 guard is averaging 17.5 points per game for the 10-2 Jaguars. King can razzle-dazzle his way into the lane on a consistent basis. He played well in the Iolani Classic (Hawaii) and is a <strong>St. John’s</strong> commit. Watch out for fellow seniors and double-figure scorers <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1065434" first="Caelum" last="Ethridge"]</strong> (13.5 ppg) and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="829396" first="Geoffrey" last="Sprouse"]</strong> (12.7 ppg) as well. 2022 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="829389" first="Elijah" last="Wyche"]</strong> is just under with 9.9 points per game. Point being, Pembroke Pines Charter has a lot of weapons.</p> <p>Khalil Volel - Mater Lakes Academy</p> <p>2024 Khalil Volel can really shoot and carry the Bears over stretches. The 6-foot shooting guard is shooting 46 percent from deep. Volel has made two or more 3-pointers and shot 40 percent or better from the perimeter in six games. He could be a kid to watch as he develops the rest of his game. As I’ve said in the past, Mater Lakes Academy is on the rise.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1062420" first="Noah" last="Kattan"] - Cypress Bay</p> <p>Back on January 6th, Kattan helped Cypress Bay to a huge upset over Pembroke Pines Charter. The 6-foot-3 guard scored 19 points in that contest. Kattan can stretch the floor and put the ball on the deck when necessary. He has helped Cypress Bay to a 10-4 overall record. Kattan holds a 4.1 GPA.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For any South Florida Prep Hoops news or information...please contact Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
