Continue ReadingLee County had no answers for Braedan Lue Braedan Lue 6’8″ | PF Alexander | 2024 State #84 Nation GA , who put on a show with his talent and explosive athleticism, hammering home multiple highlight slams throughout the night. Lue finished 8-13 from the field, 1-3 from three and 9-12 from the line to post 26 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Lue muscled his way to the basket and played volleyball on the backboard, converting on second and third chances as the Trojans struggled to keep him off the glass. Lue is a workhorse that scores inside and out. High Major programs were in the building to watch.
The Chattanooga-signee had a smooth game with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He didn’t turn the ball over and was efficient, shooting 6-8 from the field and 2-4 from deep. Noah has great length in the backcourt and has a graceful glide to the rim. When he decided to create off the dribble and shoot from deep, there was nothing Lee County could do to defend his jumper.
Needing a spark early on, the freshman came off the bench and provided it, attacking downhill with crafty finishes. Dunson compiled 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The moment wasn’t too big for him. Dunson has a bright future.
Ousmane Kromah
Ousmane Kromah
A Power 5 football recruit with SEC offers to play running back, Kromah brought his elite athleticism to the hardwood and was able to match the high flying Cougars. Kromah crashed in for putbacks and was able to make plays off the dribble, getting to his floater. He converted well around the rim. Ousmane can help defend multiple positions thanks to his speed and strength. He tallied 14 points, 9 rebounds and 2 steals.
Caden King
Caden King
I loved Caden’s compete. He played bigger than his size as he battled for rebounds and found points in the paint. A bloody nose didn’t stop King from bringing the fight to Alexander. Caden finished with 8 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist.
Smith’s blend of size, skill and athleticism gave Cedar Grove problems from the opening tip. The swingman finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Micah’s ability to hang in the air and make decisions was impressive. He would float to score, but if he saw an opponent teammate behind the defense’s back line he would riffle in a last second assist. Sandy Creek claimed their first state title, using an 18-0 second quarter to gain separation as they beat Cedar Grove for the fourth time, 66-38.
The Missouri baseball commit had his fastball working on Friday, drilling four threes as he posted 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. The high academic strong athlete made a living in the corners and would also find points as a slasher to the rim.
There aren’t many freshmen in the state you could argue had a better season than Manny Green Manny Green 6’7″ | SF Cedar Grove | 2026 State GA or have a higher upside. Green led the Saints with 11 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 blocks. He’s an incredibly smooth athlete that scores at all three levels. His most impressive move was when he dribbled right and bounced back into a deep step-back three with a defender draped on him. Green is a High Major prospect with gobs of talent.
