Player to Watch:
Nolan Wahl Nolan Wahl 6'6" | SF Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2024 State KY – The 6’6 forward from CAL is having a big AAU season and has already made the Adidas Gold first team for the opening live period weekend. Wahl is a strong player who can score on the block or away from the basket. He could be the key to a good run for Vision this weekend.
X Factor:
Deshawn Hall – A 6’3 shooting guard from Moore, Hall had a big season for the Mustangs and should be a top 10 player in the 6th region as a Senior. Deshawn is very athletic and capable of getting hot from outside. A lot of upside for the big guard from Louisville.
New Name:
Payton Mayhorn – Mayhorn has been at Henry Clay for 3 years and always passed the eye test but almost never got in games when I was in attendance. After averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds per game last season, it’s now or never for Payton to make a big push to get in our rankings and to start impressing college coaches.
