Breaking down the top region in each classification. With three teams housed within the Top 10, Region 2 gets the nod as the top region in Class 7A thanks to its depth. Pebblebrook has been as good as any team in the state led by Rider-signee [player_tooltip player_id="870158" first="Kami" last="Young"] and Troy-signee [player_tooltip player_id="758373" first="Andre" last="Young"]. [player_tooltip player_id="687647" first="Jordan" last="Brown"] has been a welcome addition as a microwave scorer while [player_tooltip player_id="1231785" first="Jaiun" last="Simon"] may have the most upside on the roster as a 6-foot-6 combo-forward. McEachern has picked up right where they left off behind first-year Head Coach Tremayne Anchrum. Seniors [player_tooltip player_id="870175" first="Braden" last="Sparks"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1350900" first="Michael" last="Jacobs"] have emerged as leaders in the backcourt. Freshman Rhys Cotton has been a savvy playmaker that has found the youthful length of [player_tooltip player_id="820295" first="Jalen" last="Hilliard"], Calvin Johnson and Jayden McMillon on countless lobs. East Coweta has major firepower between [player_tooltip player_id="870172" first="Sammy" last="Moss"], Kent State-signee [player_tooltip player_id="983506" first="Delrecco" last="Gillespie"], Alabama State-signee [player_tooltip player_id="1360503" first="Joshua" last="Cameron"] and [player_tooltip player_id="820279" first="Austen" last="Colton"]. Newnan flies under the radar but [player_tooltip player_id="1360506" first="Zion" last="Brown"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1360507" first="Wesley" last="Drake"] form one of the highest scoring backcourt duos in the state, both at 18 points per game. Campbell is young, but 6-foot-6 sophomore [player_tooltip player_id="1058999" first="David" last="Clark"] is an emerging star averaging 17 points and 7 rebounds while 6-foot junior [player_tooltip player_id="1049234" first="Dante" last="Harrison"] can score with the best of them, averaging over 17 a night as well.
