Consumate scorer. Brian attacked the lane with sharp steps. He was the leading scorer throughout and while some buckets came against weak defenders he earned the stats.Jarvis Palmer
Jarvis Palmer is an everyday guy. The descriptor “lunch pail” was once used to describe his type of player, but that is an outdated phrasing. Palmer goes to work and gets the job done every single day. He loves defense and the game benefits from his consistent energy. Jarvis earned his way to the free throw lane repeatedly early on against Arkansas Supreme. Jarvis dominated both ways for the entire first half. He hit his only three-pointer. He stole one basketball simply by grabbing it with both arms wrapped.Bryson Johnson
Great help defender. Bryson was quick with the feet and hands. Bryson is possibly the most athletic player on the entire team. Johnson’s balance and change of direction is special.Chandler Gamble Chandler Gamble 6'6" | PF South Greene | 2025 State TN
The best offensive rebounding of the opening stretch came from Chandler Gamble Chandler Gamble 6'6" | PF South Greene | 2025 State TN . After a breather, Chandler came back in and earned consecutive offensive rebounds, ultimately getting a whack underneath his elbow, which earned him a trip to the free throw line. He split the ensuing pair. Chandler was very composed in the mid-range. His left-handed offering was consistent and pure.JaDyn Lee JaDyn Lee 6'2" | PG Munford | 2025 State TN
Fantastic on-ball defense. JaDyn Lee JaDyn Lee 6'2" | PG Munford | 2025 State TN was tremendous when defending around the arc but fouled often when he found himself vulnerable under the rim. Too often he checked the defense with his body. Lee did not force shots. He looks to be an eager pass-first guy.Mike Wilson
The only classic big man on the floor was Mike Wilson. He collected the occasional offensive rebound. Mike’s activity was welcomed. His weakness was finishing around the rim. The shorter defenders tended to swipe and whack when he rose to attempt his layups. He did not finish the chances he did get, possibly because they frenetically challenged him.# | PLAYER NAME | PTS |
