The versatility of his game on both ends shined like a bright light during their win. Crowell made three three point shots on his way to 17 points, blocked three shots, and was very good on the boards when it came to rebounding. He is as versatile as they come and is a player to watch in the 2026 class in Texas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jeremiyah Stafford (6'3" | Airline)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During the Red River Hoopfest, Jeremiyah was a player who played his role to the utmost of his ability. He scored nine points and had two steals doing what he does best, rim runs in transition and defend the paint as best as he could. His points were scored from making himself available during drives and his use of his leaping ability to finish at the rim. He also has good hands and catches everything thrown his way. Stafford may be undersized to play the paint but he is very useful when he is there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1105538' first='Trevon' last='Jackson'] (6'0" | Airline)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson scored 11 points against Texas in the various ways he scores during other games. He displayed his multi-level scoring ability by nailing the corner three and scoring going to the cup. Jackson knows how to take contact from the football field and did not let it effect him at the Red River Hoopfest. Even though his versatile scoring did not help the Vikings win, it displayed how dangerous he is on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Texas High and Airline have several talented players. Both teams should benefit from the experience of playing one another and it should help them as their season goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
