Jacob Stellwegen Jacob Stellwegen 6'2" | SG Montgomery County | 2024 State MO (Zoski Elite): The 6’2 2024 guard from Montgomery County has shooting range out to 30 feet and he won’t hesitate to let it fly. He’s also very good at creating shots from long distance with a variety of escape moves off the dribble.
******
Jack Perry (Missouri 66ers): The 6’3 2025 guard from Galena (KS) had one of the most impressive shooting outings of the weekend when he hit 10 3-pointers in a game on Saturday. He has tremendous range and a quick release on his shot.

(Gateway Basketball Club UAA 2024): The 6’3 2024 guard from Cape Girardeau Central is an impressive 3-point shooter with good athleticism and the ability to slash. He raises up pretty well as he elevates on his jumper.
******
Jimmy Townsend Jimmy Townsend 6'1" | SG Hickman | 2024 State MO (Columbia Supreme 2024): A 6’1 2024 guard from Columbia Hickman who is really good at getting his team going by hitting multiple 3-pointers early in the game. He’s constantly moving and he finds the open spots.
*******
Nick Horras (Triple Threat Academy 2024): The 6’3 2024 guard from Collinsville (IL) was a fire from downtown in the game I watched him on Friday. He did a nice job coming off screens ready to shoot and he also dribbled into a few walk-up 3-pointers. He scored 34 points in the game with six triples
******
Andre Lewis (Peoria Dream 2024): When I first started watching this 6’1 2025 guard play, he was slashing and getting transition buckets. As the game went in, he started raining 3-pointer with his smooth lefty shooting stroke. He hit five triples in the second half in the game I watched.
*******
Ty Price (Gateway Basketball Club 2025 UAA): The 5’8 2026 guard from Kentucky put on a big shooting display in a comeback victory over Arsenal Hoops Elite 17U. He scored 19 of his 26 points in the second half with most of the damage coming from long distance. He was equally effective off the catch and off the dribble.
******
Carter Ashby Carter Ashby 6'0" | PG Wentzville Liberty | 2024 State MO (Arsenal Hoops 2024-Ashby): Not only did the 2024 guard from Wentzville Liberty shoot it well from long distance, he displayed a flair for the dramatic. He drained a fall-away 3-pointer as time expired to send a game into overtime. They ended up winning that game. He comes off the screen very well to hit the triple.
******
Brayden Gardner Brayden Gardner 6'2" | SG St. Dominic | 2024 State MO (Hardwood Elite 2024): We’ve been watching the 6’4 2024 sharpshooter from St. Dominic do it for four years and this weekend was no different. He knocks down the triples off the catch and he can also use the pump fake and re-establish with good footwork to knock shots down.
******
Evan Simon Evan Simon 6'1" | PG Kirkwood | 2025 State MO (Arsenal Hoops Elite 2024): A 6’1 2025 point guard from Kirkwood who was one of the best that I saw at creating 3-pointers off the dribble. He can get good separation from defenders with his handles and he is on balance to knock down the triple.
******
Indred Whitaker (Kentucky Future Elite 2024): The 6’1 2024 guard from Kentucky score nearly 20 points in the second half to rally his team from a double digit to a win against Gateway. He got really, really hot in the second half and his teammates did a good job of getting him the ball as they rode that momentum to a nice win.
******
Josh Waller (Illinois Bears 2024-Snider): A 6’0 2024 guard had an impressive game shooting the ball in the game I watched on Friday night. He moves well without the ball to get in position to hit his high-arching shots.
*****
Luke Roberts (Arsenal Hoops 15U- Harris): A 5’9 2026 guard from St Dominic who had quite a performance in a Sunday morning game that I watched. He really got his team’s cheering section with a flurry of high-arching 3-pointers. He ran in transition well to the open spots and he was excellent off the catch.
