Keith is a lock down defender and great rebounder from his shooting guard position. He can guard 4 different positions with his size and athleticism . Edna Karr lost in the class 4A semi-finals last season. They step up to 5A this year which will be a big challenge.

Jyrin ,is a great all around player who can play multiple positions because of his size. He is very good on the defensive end and a tenacious rebounder.
