Jacob Morgan Jacob Morgan 5'8" | PG Stewart County | 2025 State TN – Stewart County

Jacob played frequently as a sophomore, scoring 5.0 ppg along with 2.6 rpg. Morgan was thin, light on his feet. Morgan felt pressure well and did not force the ball. Jacob will be the best guard on the team next season.

Ayden Melton Ayden Melton Ayden Melton 6'1" | PG Camden Central | 2025 State TN – Camden Central

Ayden Melton Ayden Melton Ayden Melton 6'1" | PG Camden Central | 2025 State TN successfully incorporated a spin move repeatedly in his drives. There was an uncanny spatial awareness after his swivel that he utilized to hit jumpers on recovering defenders. Ayden will lead Camden Central after their fantastic senior class graduated. Ayden is really creative when he gets to 12′. He does not just take predictable jumpers. In his highlight package below, you can see the variety. The Class of 2023 finished 47-13 in the last two years. One of the great outgoing seniors, Kaden Story Kaden Story Kaden Story 6'2" | PG Camden | 2023 State TN , sees Ayden as a future team leader and raves about his work ethic, especially in-between seasons. Melton could be the District MVP. Landon Cunningham is another favorite for that honor.

Caleb Ezell – Huntingdon

Loves contact. Feisty. Caleb started as a sophomore way back in the fall. He was not the primary ball-handler, but to earn his way onto the floor that early speaks loudly. Ezell really liked to change the point of attack and did so with some guile.

22-23 sophomore highlights -Ayden.Melton highlights

Hayden Wallace Hayden Wallace 6'2" | PF Stewart County | 2024 State TN – Stewart County

Even though the team lost a lot, Hayden Wallace Hayden Wallace 6'2" | PF Stewart County | 2024 State TN ‘s return helps keep the team strong in the lane. Wallace was possibly the best offensive rebounder in the entire region. He secured 2.7 offensive rpg per game! The senior-to-be lead the team in scoring easily with 14.0 ppg. Wallace was a 6-foot-0 center with a wonderful tenacity and the footwork was solid too.

Landon Cunningham – Waverly Central

Landon rebounded a little bit from his guard position. The coach relied upon him to initiate the offense on occasion. For a team that defended a lot in the 2-3 zone, Landon did get tugged away from his assigned area a bit. He can get into the lane at the 2A level quite well. Finished in traffic some. Enthusiastic player.
