<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='992516' first='Isaiah' last='West']</strong> (Goodpasture) overcame a potentially career-ending injury as a teenager. In addition to conquering the exhaustive rehabilitation process, West also surmounted the self-doubt embedded in every massive surgery and attempted return. Worries about him never regaining the athleticism and strength from previous to the injury were legitimate and now proven unjustified.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was fantastic in the State Tournament. In the final, West scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals. </p>

<p>Mr. Basketball. State Tournament MVP, State Champion. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That Mr. Basketball [player_tooltip player_id='992497' first='Jaylen' last='Jones'] will not get a second State Championship is a travesty, or at the very least an appearance. He was the most dominant player on the most dominant team. He will play D1 for Tennessee State. Pearl-Cohn ensured be will not play in the State Tournament. </p>

<p>Jones averaged 23.9 points per game and made 66 three-pointers.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When [player_tooltip player_id='1416525' first='Doyel' last='Cockrill III'] made 13 3-pointers in a single game two years back his name immediately passed through the whispers in Nashville. With time he enhanced his basketball reputation to a more regional level. He finished his senior season, after dispatching of State Champion-favorite East Nashville by averaging 21.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 3.6 apg. DC III made 85 three-pointers and 142 free throws in this year alone.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1725210' first='Lorenzo' last='McMillion']</strong> (Davidson Academy)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McMillion is a name that popped just this winter, as opposed to [player_tooltip player_id='992516' first='Isaiah' last='West'], ranked Top 10 since 15u AAU season, at least for the watchful eye of PrepHoopsTN. A hulking 6-foot-5 wing, LM found consistent scoring his senior year and rebounded at a high clip. Lorenzo helped his team win games and win important games including games in three different in-season events: Zaxby's Classic (2-0), Corey Brewer Tournament (2-1), FRA Classic (2-0).</p>
