(Cookeville) surpassed 1000 career points. He showed rather well at the Beech Christmas Classic by scoring, rebounding, and defending. Ideally, Heard would play as a lead guard. He is so silky smooth and elegant with the dribble. Alas, the team is almost entirely built if guards, so Heard will get stuffed under the rim at times.
Game 4 of day 2 of the 2022 Osteen Classic at Millington saw Munford beat Bluff City 75-53. Murray Norman with 8 3's & 33 pts. Jordan Bell had 12 & JaDyn Lee 11 for the Cougars. Jay'veon Jones with 24 & Jakeel Truss 14 for Bluff City. @StarMillington @johnvarlas @memphispreps
