Ryan Worrell Ryan Worrell 5'8" | PG White House | 2024 State TN is the only returning starter for White House. An undersized guard, Worrell will likely be the team’s best outside shooter. Kenny Holt (White House) can play with quick hands at four different positions in the 2-3 zone. Good defender in tight spaces. The team might use him as the primary ball-handler. He tended to get in a little hurry from time to time. Facing Greenbrier in the playoffs, Holt forced a shot that hit the side of the backboard and on another good opportunity he nailed the take.

D’Azjon Dowell D’Azjon Dowell 6'3" | SG Glencliff | 2024 State TN is a silky scorer, who has been playing meaningful varsity minutes for years. Eric Thomason Eric Thomason 5'11" | PG Glencliff | 2024 State TN is also a veteran within the program. Thomason plays point guard and Dowell can contribute from either guard spot. Dowell thinks like a scorer whereas Eric is typically a passer with some scoring capability. The high-flying guard Terron Stricklin Terron Stricklin 6'2" | SG Glencliff | 2024 State TN thrills in the open floor. There is some range to his scoring, but the best aspect of Stricklin’s game remains off-ball defense and potency in the open floor.
