The High’s 2025 class is making some noise. Joyner has emerged as a legitimate D-I prospect, picking up offers from East Carolina and Kennesaw State in June.

Two key seniors graduate, but the Atomsmashers will be tough as usual. Quarterman is a slick guard, wiry and elusive. Joshua is good at getting to the rim, but can also stop-and-pop. He posted 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game as a junior. Kirkwood came up big in spots, averaging 9.7 points and 4.6 rebounds while Jones did a little bit of everything with his energetic style, totaling 5.7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Don’t forget about Kadin Davis Kadin Davis 5'7" | PG Johnson-Savannah | 2025 State GA . The little lefty is a true sparkplug with his fearlessness and the pace he plays at.

Legendary Panthers Elijah Coleman Elijah Coleman 5'11" | PG Portal | 2024 State GA and Joseph Thomas Joseph Thomas 6'1" | SG Portal | 2024 State GA will have a final crack at a state title. Coleman led the way his first two seasons as an absolute foul magnet, getting to the rim at will and living at the free throw line. This past season, it was Thomas who stepped up to lead the team in scoring, a microwave bucket-getter on the perimeter with his outside shot. Thomas averaged 16.1 points, 3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.9 steals while Coleman provided 13.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.7 steals. Marion Tremble emerged as a capable fourth-option. He is a wiry swingman who plays hard and is an effective perimeter defender. He tallied 10.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Jasiyah Suber Jasiyah Suber 6'2" | SG Calhoun County | 2024 State GA returns as the Region 1-A D-II Co-Player of the Year. The lefty is an electric scorer and highlight-maker athletically. He has a quick rip through to the basket, can stop on a dime from the mid-range and shoots the three well. Enocher is undersized, but he has a nice floater in traffic. Canidate is a jumping jack. Zechariah plays above the rim, catching lobs and finishing putback dunks. He’s a dynamic defensive swingman.
