<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Union County<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1611592' first='Jude' last='Ellis'], [player_tooltip player_id='1444783' first='Houston' last='Henry'], [player_tooltip player_id='1986579' first='Hayden' last='Hughes']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The trio of Ellis, Henry and Hughes have helped put Union County on the map. Ellis is a strong scorer from all three levels. He and Houston are creative ball handlers that manipulate defenders to get what they wany. Henry is a savvy playmaker while Hughes is the school's single-season three-point record holder. They all play well off each other and have a synergy that is tough to match.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Madison County<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1386823' first='Jay' last='Carruth'], [player_tooltip player_id='1765472' first='Mason' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='1386822' first='Grant' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='1978542' first='Frae'Quan' last='Wilkins']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most explosive offensive teams in Class 4A, the Red Raiders can torch defenses in a variety of ways. [player_tooltip player_id='1386822' first='Grant' last='Smith'] is a sharpshooter with good size on the perimeter. Older brother Mason can shoot it as well, but really thrives as a downhill score-through-contact guard. Carruth is the straw that stirs the drink. The reigning Region 8 Player of the Year is a skilled playmaker that has a knack for getting to his spots in the mid-range. Wilkins transfers in from Franklin County and will give Madison County a bouncy slasher that can create his own offense off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Darlington<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1227101' first='D'marion' last='Floyd'], [player_tooltip player_id='1227098' first='Jack' last='Bell'], [player_tooltip player_id='1594196' first='Joe' last='Womack'], [player_tooltip player_id='2132943' first='Grant' last='Hutton']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Floyd, a hyper athletic playmaker, won Region 7-A D-I Player of the Year while also being named All-State Honorable Mention. He is at his best when he is aggressively looking to attack the basket, getting to the hoop for points or sucking in the defense to kick to open shooters. Bell earned a Birmingham-Southern offer in June as a strongly build off-guard that can score with his jumper and provide toughness on the glass. Womack is a spindly guard who has shown flashes of being able to produce in a variety of ways. Hutton is one to watch for, moving in from Mississippi. At 6-foot-6 with a 43-inch vertical, Mississippi State and Southern Mississippi have reportedly offered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christian Heritage<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1055485' first='Jax' last='Abernathy'], [player_tooltip player_id='1558576' first='Isaac' last='Plavich'], [player_tooltip player_id='1810742' first='Dontae' last='Crowder']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of Georgia's most efficient scorers over the course of his career, [player_tooltip player_id='1055485' first='Jax' last='Abernathy'] is a multi-time All-State performer averaging close to 30 points per game as a junior. His three-level scoring touch, patience with the ball and IQ of how to score against length makes him one of the toughest covers in the state. D-I schools have shown interest while multiple D-II programs have offered. Entering his junior season, Plavich has experience under his belt. He shoots the three and is becoming a better playmaker off the dribble. Crowder is a potential X-Factor this season. At nearly 6-foot-4, Dontae can play inside and out. He's a powerful wing with versatile athleticism. His upside as a defender is a plus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
