Games
Blackman – Bolivar Central
Red Bank – Columbia Central
Garrison Eady Garrison Eady 6'2" | PG Blackman | 2025 State TN – Blackman – 2025
Blackman’s starting point guard stuck his body in the way of Bolivar’s wonderful star Kylan McNeal Kylan McNeal 5'11" | PG Bolivar Central | 2024 State TN and occasionally deterred his drives. Sure Eady did foul one or two times, but that is the cost of doing business. Overall, Eady made shots for McNeal difficult or actually forebode his entry to the interior 8′.
Kamarion Johnson – Red Bank – 2025
As a substitute Kamarion Johnson instantly infused the game with ferocious defense. Johnson decided to get “up under” the Columbia Central ball-handler and forced a desperation crosscourt pass over the pressure. It did glance off a friendly hand, but the pace and arch proved too difficult to handle. Full credit to Johnson for forcing the turnover.
Tametric Harris Tametric Harris 6'0" | SG Bolivar Central | 2026 State TN – Bolivar Central – 2026
Bolivar gets energetic guards coming into the varsity ever season, as sure as the sun rises in the morning. Tametric is another aggressive, hungry guard as he showed against Blackman. Harris defended best when the team trapped or extended pressure. He was not as stout as an on-ball defender in the halfcourt.
