<p>The second annual Relentless Hoops Military Classic took place this past weekend at Hargrave Military Academy, and there was high level basketball in all four games that took place.</p> <p>There was a mix of high school and post grad teams, and there was tons of talent in every game.</p> <p>Here’s a look at part one some of the standouts from the Virginia programs in attendance.</p> <p>You can see all of the games on playback on the <a href="https://cbglivenetwork.com/">CBG Live Network</a>!</p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="815583" first="Kanye" last="Clary"] | 5’11” PG | Massanutten 2022</span></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Clary-Kanye-Mass.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1379578" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Clary-Kanye-Mass-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Penn State commit was dynamic for Massanutten in both of their wins over Speights Academy and Winston-Salem Christian, and he could make the case for the best PG in VA for the 2022 class. The lefty is dynamic off the bounce with a good handle and change of speeds with hesitations and moves to get in the lane, he can score it off the bounce from all three levels efficiently and he has a flair to his game that makes him exciting to watch. He finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in their win over Speights Academy and 16 points, 5 rebounds in their win over Winston-Salem.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="798705" first="Kyrese" last="Mullen"] | 6’6” PF | Massanutten 2022</span></strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Mullen-Kyrese-Mass.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1379584" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/Mullen-Kyrese-Mass-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Mullen is one of the best available bigs in the state, and he showed both his dominance and improved versatility this weekend. At 6’6” he may be a little short at the four spot but he’s very strong and will bully bigs in the paint to create space to finish and to rebound, he has improved in his explosion and finishing ability above the rim and he can step out and knock down shots from deep as well. He finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds in their win over Winston-Salem Christian.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Luke Triggs | 6’6” PF | Massanutten 2022</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Triggs continues to impress as one of the most slept on available guys in the state, as the 6’6” forward has improved in a number of ways and continues to be a consistent threat in a number of ways. He’s an assassin in the midrange as he can play at the elbows and make tough fall aways, he’s more explosive and has filled out his upper body and he’s versatile defensively as he can guard wings and bigs both. He finished with 14 points and 5 rebounds in their win over Winston-Salem Christian.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Troy McKoy | 6’3” WG | Massanutten 2023</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The only player on Massanutten listed as a 2023, McKoy is a big wing who has a great skill set and is a versatile player on the offensive end. He can play on the basketball and get in the lane where he can finish at and above the rim, he can play off the basketball where he can make shots from deep and gets hot quickly and he makes plays on the glass and defensive end too. He finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds in their win over Winston-Salem.</span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="1321198" first="Jordan" last="Horne"] | 6’2” PG | Miller School 2023</span></strong></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">While Miller dropped their only game of the weekend to Liberty Heights Varsity team, Horne continues to impress as one of VA’s most slept on point guards in the 2023 class. The 6’2” guard has good size and is creative off the bounce and can touch the paint well, he is a tough shot maker from multiple levels and is a strong finisher at the rim and he can make plays for others. He’s also a stout defender who can stay in front and sets the tone on both ends of the floor.</span></p>
