<p>Houston is full of talent from all sides of the city stretching far as the the towns surrounding. With that being said it can takes you one hour to get from one side to the other; might even take 30 minutes to drive to another location on the same side. From Booker T. Washington in Houston to Summe r Creek High School you can find plenty of good guard match ups on a nightly basis. This will be a multi-part series</p>

<p>Julius Crosby - 6'1 Class of 2023 Wheatley High School</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crosby is the quick, shifty, confident guard that plays to win. Its exciting to watch him get by his defenders. He seems to have natural instincts to be an athlete. Needs to add muscle but his body can handle contact in the air for the tough finish. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Andre Walker - 5'10 Class of 2023 Booker T. Washington</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although Walker is on the field last year he proved that he's able to be the leading guard on a good team. His body frame pushes defenders to his spot. Can get his team points in the hurry whether kicking the ball ahead or pushing the tempo himself, the Eagles are poised to make another run at state with their point guard. Walker plays with a fire inside of him. A guard that analyzes when he needs to get people involved or get his shot going.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1486149' first='Tres' last='Luzey'] - 6'2 Class of 2024 The Woodlands Christian Academy</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> Luzey made a name for himself this summer shooting the the net off the rim. He started handling pressure with ball displaying the toughness inside of him. Recently Luzey have improve driving to the basket, and making decisions. Comfortable using his floater or pulling up in the midrange.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='892135' first='Ma'Syn' last='Howell'] - 6'1 Legacy School of Sports Science</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Howell will be one horse over at Legacy. Howell brings the Inglewood grit to his team. A true team player that will run his coach's system, but can create plays with the ball himself. Howell hit some big shots in the clutch last season for the Titans. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='970123' first='Fred' last='Payne'] - 6'1 Class of 2023 Legacy School of Sports Science</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mr. Payne have displayed he will get his numbers against anybody. Payne can get hot from the three point line, and when the step-back consistently falls that opens up more opportunities for him to score. </p>
