KJ was locked in hitting from all over the perimeter. He was really good in that quick catch and shoot action as his guards and bigs were finding him all over the floor. He got a lot of attention and then started making some solid passes to get others looks as well. KJ is a big time scorer and he should get looks form a few NJCAA schools as we move forward, the kid can score the ball.
Mekhi is really starting to run that PG position at a high level. He is keeping his vision up and finding players up the floor and it is making his life easier getting that ball out quickly. He is active and strong on the ball defensively. Shot looks good and he is a bully when he decides to attack the rim.

This kid has some talent and he can score inside and out. He runs the floor well and defends. With the ability to catch the ball and initiate offense it really makes him a valuable player being able to catch, pass and read. The big man is tough on the break and inside. A little inside outside game that is still developing and on defense he can really switch and defend multiple positions. Could be a great D2 find.
Taylor is the next wing up at Corner Canyon and he is getting a lot of valuable run right now with the Rebels. He has the ability to stretch the floor and hit three pointers which is valuable with his size. He can can catch and shoot and he has some attacking ability as well. This kid still has a lot to go and with how much the rebels play and CCHS play in the offseason he is going to be season ready next year to pick up minutes.
Reece had a solid game and he is starting to showcase that outside touch. When he is not the only big in the floor he really stands out doing little things off the ball. He is going to be a great addition to the rebels team this Spring and Summer.
Big time tough defender who is the glue. He defends his tail off and cleans up boards and makes that extra pass. Takes high quality shots and the motor on this kid is always on.
