Logan Patterson Logan Patterson 6'3" | CG Section | 2022 State AL 6’2 SG Section 2023
Patterson is a solid shooter who can get it done from the perimeter and cause significant problems when he gets going. His shooting skill set is well versed. Patterson can move without the ball, find space in the defense, shoot effectively off the catch, and create his shot off the dribble. In addition to that, when he gets it going, he can fire off from deep range and create driving lanes for himself when defenses overplay the shot. As a finisher, he thrives in running the break and running the lane as a slasher where he can finish with both hands and power through contact.

Jacob Cooper 6’4 SF/PF Section 2022
Cooper is an all-around wing who can stuff the box sheet and affect every facet of the game. Though versatile, Cooper is a Stand-out rebounder with strong hands, good timing, and a high motor. This ability opens up his game in transition with his ability to make accurate outlet passes, create for others as the ball handler on the break, or take it coast to coast and finish at the rim. Cooper does a great job of filling in wherever his team needs a boost as a secondary scorer and playmaker and could be a major X factor in this area.
Josh Bowman 6’3 SG/SF Mars Hill 2022
Bowerman is a defensive-minded wing who can be a streaky shooter. He uses his solid frame to disrupt the ball handler’s rhythm, bumps drivers off angels, and force contested perimeter shots. In addition to that, Bowerman is highly active in passing lanes and can generate deflections and steals at a high rate. Offensively he plays within his role by knocking down shots as a stationary shooter, making timely cuts in half-court sets, and filling the lane as a runner in transition.
Keldric Faulk Keldric Faulk 6'6" | PF Highland Home | 2023 AL 6’6 PF/C Highland Home 2023
Though Faulk is a superstar on the gridiron, he still can hoop with the best of them and has led his team to a Final Four appearance. Faulks athleticism and size make him a double-double threat whenever he laces them up. At 6’6, he can dominate the paint as an interior scorer, solid rebounder, and effective rim protector. His speed also makes him a threat in transition, where he can beat other big men down the court with ease.
Bryant Story Jr 5’10 Lanet 2023
Story Jr is a highly active guard who is always looking to make a play on both ends of the court. He does a good job of consistently playing at a high pace, which creates opportunities for himself and others. In addition to that, his ability to get paint touches off the bounce generates kick-outs and solid ball movement. As a defender, Story gives consistent effort and is always in the passing lanes disrupting offenses. He also excels as a help defender and uses his quickness to stop drives and closeout on three-point attempts.
