Smart and takes care of the ball. High IQ and can handle the ball and shoot the three. Newell ran a zone against him and he picked it apart by moving the ball around quickly and hitting threes. I think college coaches should keep an eye on this kid. Plays the game the right way, and is also a playmaker. Attacks gaps off the drive and will open up shots and driving opportunities for his teammates. An incredibly smart defender that understands how to defend and position himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2104069' first='Cash' last='Albers'] | 6'2 | SF | 2024 | New Underwood | </strong>Cash shows a passion and energy on the court. He's worth a mention because of his skill set and as an overall player. Cash can knockdown shots and finish scoring opportunities. A three-ball threat that will fire away and be aggressive when he has a rhythm shot or space. Cash will post up — as he has a steady build — and he'll quickly pop out to the perimeter. So, he's kind of a tough defensive matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105533' first='Cooper' last='Feddersen'] | 6'5 | PF | 2024 | Jones County </strong>| Cooper brings a ton of energy and toughness in the paint. He's a strong interior defender and protects the area around the hoop very well. He posts up hard and with a purpose — he wants the ball. I'm not sure many know about this kid on the basketball court, but he's 6'5 with an athletic and muscular build, that can jump and play with aggression near the hoop. He also showed a middle-game against New Underwood. Had a massive Junior Season, averaging 18.9 ppg., and to mention he's a legit rebounder with a 12.9 average. Per MAXPREPS, he had four 20+ rebounding games!!! Gets up for boards and brings them down with power.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105534' first='Jett' last='Nix'] | 6'3 | SF | 2024 | Jones County</strong> <strong>| </strong>Jett is a two-way player that brings a lot of value to Jones County. He averaged 13.2 ppg., 6.4 rpg., and 2.5 apg., and 2.1 spg. If you're playing fantasy basketball, you'll like how he produces in multiple categories. You'll also like that he's highly efficient at a 2FG% of 58%. Jett will crash the glass and fly around on the court, as a true slasher.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105532' first='Jace' last='Nix'] | 6'0 | SG | 2025 | Jones County |</strong> Jace opened the New Underwood game with a corner three. Anytime you can start out a game with a three in the first 30 seconds, it's a momentum starter. A Sophomore that played in all 22 games, so he has experience to build and build confidence with. One to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
