Who are some of these young men from the State of West Virginia playing here today down in Myrtle Beach, SC? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Who Will Postgrad? </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081832,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-47-24-5150PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-47-24-5150PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081832" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eli Allen</strong> the former West Virginia State Player of the Year will attend Moravian Prep this coming fall he told Prep Hoops.

Anderson had been recently at Ripley HS. Anderson informed Prep Hoops that he was no longer playing football after playing this past weekend with Team Loaded West Virginia. Anderson plays the game with a blue-collar mindset down in the paint. He seems to be at his best from 2 feet in on the floor and knocking opponents around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Mountaineer State Represented Well: </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081831,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-47-48-8170PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-47-48-8170PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081831" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1408804' first='Ammar' last='Maxwell'] </strong>- Shady Spring HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maxwell has good length and versatility to be all over the floor for his WV Crossover 17U squad. Ammar really likes to handle the rock and was able to show at times today his ability to get to the rack. He really looks to excel in the transition game. Ammar plays extremely active in the passing lanes and had several deflections today for his efforts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081839,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-40-55-7980PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-40-55-7980PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081839" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2081827' first='Christian' last='Goebel'] </strong>- George Washington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goebel was able to connect on some short jumpers and later on connected on a few three pointers. Christian has the ability to seal, drive it and make hard cuts when needed. He really plays well away from the ball and making himself available on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1851974' first='Jayallen' last='Turner']</strong> - Huntington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Turner is a bit of a TWEENER at times on the floor and really is a guy who can do a little bit of everything it seems. Jayallen scores around the bucket when needed if it's collecting loose change or just finishing on bucket, he does it. Turner isn't flashy at all but he delivers results when he's on the floor with good production. Turner was running with TCF Wildcats here this weekend in Myrtle Beach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081841,"width":256,"height":192,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-40-14-7540PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/eZy-Watermark_09-07-2023_07-40-14-7540PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081841" width="256" height="192" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1233991' first='Dawson' last='Lunsford']</strong> - George Washington HS </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lunsford came out and made several shots today for his squad.
