2023-24 Class AA Predictions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will this be the year that someone upsets the Collegiate Schools? Or will the Gray &amp; Oceanside dominance continue? The Eagles are as talented as they have been in recent years and have 3 Top 10 Players in their respective classes - [player_tooltip player_id='992183' first='Ellis' last='Graham'], [player_tooltip player_id='1180896' first='Braylhan' last='Thomas'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1162932' first='Treyvon' last='Maddox'] - and the Landsharks had a very impressive Summer and have Top 25 Senior Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1444154' first='Travis' last='Stickney'] and Top 25 Sophmore Forward [player_tooltip player_id='1206191' first='Jake' last='Thomas']. But there is plenty of talent outside of these two powerhouses such as [player_tooltip player_id='1316122' first='Franklin' last='Davis'], [player_tooltip player_id='1360539' first='Benett' last='Edwards'], [player_tooltip player_id='1221523' first='Ghaleb' last='Wilson'], [player_tooltip player_id='1276361' first='Brian' last='Sumpter'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1463715' first='Cedric' last='Schofield']. <strong>Take a look at some of my predictions for Class AA in 2023-24:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AA Region Players of the Year:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 1 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1316122' first='Franklin' last='Davis'] (Landrum)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 2 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1220047' first='Darius' last='Elkins'] (Newberry)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 3 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1154121' first='Connor' last='Cannon'] (Fox Creek)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 4 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1180896' first='Braylhan' last='Thomas'] (Gray Collegiate)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 5 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1221523' first='Ghaleb' last='Wilson'] (Andrew Jackson)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 6 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1149795' first='Ty'ree' last='Edwards'] (Woodland)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 7 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1444154' first='Travis' last='Stickney'] (Oceanside Collegiate)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 8 Player of the Year: [player_tooltip player_id='1157437' first='Tahj' last='Lathon'] (Marion)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AA Player of the Year: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1180896' first='Braylhan' last='Thomas'] (Gray Collegiate)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AA Most Improved Player of the Year:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1276361' first='Brian' last='Sumpter'] (Keenan)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Class AA Breakout Freshman/Sophmore:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1848082' first='Kenton' last='Caldwell'] (Newberry)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Top 5 Teams:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
