Summer Camp Impact Players

<p>June is a time of rebirth and renewal in high school basketball.  Old rosters become new.  Proven powers need to re-establish their dominance and find the next generation of talent, while formerly poor programs get to see if hope is finally warranted.  Is there a new guy worth pinning hopes to?  </p> <p>Saturday many varsity teams competed at Knoxville Webb High School.  Which teams impressed?  Any players enhance their reputation?  </p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Partial Rosters (Starters*)</span></strong></p> <p><strong>Stone Memorial<br /> </strong>#3 G [player_tooltip player_id="1345229" first="Matthew" last="Bilbrey"]* (2023)<br /> #4 G Blake Holt (2023)<br /> #10 F Jayden Eldridge (2024)<br /> #14 G [player_tooltip player_id="1211987" first="Cade" last="Capps"]* (2025)<br /> #15 SG Preston Mayberry (2024)<br /> #22 F [player_tooltip player_id="1345233" first="Conner" last="Bowman"] (2023)<br /> #23 SG Rayce Boston (2023)<br /> #24 Jordan Manis (2024)<br /> #32 C Brady Lane (2024)<br /> #34 G Nathan Houston (2023)<br /> <br /> </p> <p><strong>Knox Webb<br /> </strong>#2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1029090" first="Lukas" last="Walls"]* (2023)<br /> #4 G [player_tooltip player_id="1224251" first="Markeis" last="Barrett"] (2024)<br /> #5 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1299473" first="Shavar" last="Young"] (2026)<br /> #11 Lane Shipley (2023)<br /> #22 G [player_tooltip player_id="1289352" first="Drake" last="Ingram"] (2024)<br /> #24 F Eli Vickers (2024)<br /> #25 SF John Tolsma (2023)<br /> #33 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1299479" first="Jaylen" last="Pompey"] (2025)</p> <p><strong>Coalfield</strong></p> <p>#1 PF Brayden Burgess (2023)<br /> #4 F Tucker West (2023)<br /> #10 G Gavin Green (2023)<br /> #14 G Rommel Conlon (2023)<br /> #23 G Brayden Brown (2025)<br /> #24 F Zach Armstrong* (2023)<br /> #32 F Blake Hudson (2023)<br /> #33 G Reilly Brown (2024)<br /> #34 F Zackary Noe (2024)</p> <p><strong>McMinn Central</strong></p> <table id="viewTable" class="table table-striped table-sm" style="width: 100%;

He is not very powerful and do not expect him to batter his way to the rim.  He is more of a 'finesse four.'</p> <h3><b>Stone Memorial vs. Knox Webb</b></h3> <p>Featured article below.</p> <p>https://prephoops.com/2022/06/summer-camp-knox-webb-versus-stone-memorial/</p> <h3><b>Jellico vs. Webb JV</b></h3> <p>Carter Terry (Jellico) was exposed after a switch out high. He was quickly revealed to be a high school center, not wing.  Look for him to be a post defender on this unit.  Jellico lost a couple of extremely productive seniors to graduation and now you will see a lot of touches and production coming from [player_tooltip player_id="1474566" first="Isaac" last="Mcnealy"] (2024).  The tall off-guard looks like a player really adapting to his body.  His speed is very good with and without the basketball.  He is agile mid-air and comfortable as a shooter from almost any location.  He will need to add some good weight eventually, but the foundation for a high-volume scorer is there today.  Teammate Carson Bolton looks to be an impact player this season.  Competing against the Webb "B" Team, Carson was disruptive defensively.  He moved his feet pretty well for a strong-bodied guard.  Bolton hit an outside shot or two.  The handle is something that will really open up his options, if he tackles that in the interim.  Overall, this is a team making the forced shift from veterans to youth, and it looks to be an exciting transition full of potential.</p> <p><em>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewForce8">@AndrewForce8</a>.</em></p>
