2024 Kievian Allen (Middleton)
2022-2023 Stats: 6.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 77-172 FG (45%).

2022-2023 Stats: 5.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 56-119 FG (47%).

2025 Tamarcus Smith (Middleton)
2022-2023 Stats: 4.8 points, 48-111 FG (43%), 12 made 3P (31%).
Undersized point guard. Really elusive hesi-dribble. His outside shot is not a threat as of March 2023. Tamarcus played Hampton High soundly on the defensive end, with his feet sliding and his defensive awareness resplendent.
2025 Stephon Shivers Stephon Shivers 6'5" | C Humboldt (football) | 2025 State TN (Humboldt)
Elite lineman. Impossible to defend on the low blocks at the Class A level. Shivers bounds up the floor with the heft of a NFL-football player. His youth and natural athleticism enables him to be lighter on his feet than is to be expected with a 300+ pound man. His finishing around the rim is obviously a strength, though he is somewhat crafty getting to those layups. He also has a knack for incorporating a surprise pass when situated out high.
2025 Kendrick Taylor Kendrick Taylor 6'3" | SG Humboldt | 2025 State TN (Humboldt)
Taylor’s shot is flat. It needs work. Considering his height at an important position (SG), Taylor is a weapon few teams can claim. Taylor’s handle is decent to above average and his speed and bounce is strong for a high school player. KT ranks in the top or second tier of athletes in Class A basketball.
2024 Stefan Gilbert (Clarksburg)
SG was scoring in double figures in his freshman season.
2024 Kris Hooker (Clarksburg)
Instantly contributed three years ago, as a freshman, primarily helping as a rebounder. Blossomed into a more well-rounded player in the interim.
2024 Fredrick Moore (Humboldt)
Fredrick Moore is a strong senior-to-be forward. Standing about 6-foot-3, Moore is alert on the glass and helps his team most by drawing fouls. Rebounds outside of his area a touch. Not a wing, Moore is an adept post-to-post passer. Plays off of his larger teammate Stephon Shivers Stephon Shivers 6'5" | C Humboldt (football) | 2025 State TN tremendously.
2024 Will Murray (West Carroll)
Dressed varsity for the 2021 and 2022 State Tournament participants. Guard.
2024 Will Robinson (West Carroll)
Dressed varsity for the 2021 and 2022 State Tournament participants. Wing.
