Farmington Basketball Gets Off to Hot Start

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school basketball season in the state of Arkansas is off to a strong start. On Monday night, the Farmington Cardinals displayed why they have been a basketball that is synonymous with making deep playoff runs. If Monday night is any indication, the 2023 basketball season has the potential to be special for the Cardinals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Players to Watch this Season:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1997497' first='Layne' last='Taylor']-Point Guard-5'10”-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Monday, [player_tooltip player_id='1997497' first='Layne' last='Taylor'] put on display just how talented of a ball handler he is. The Nort Texas commit does an excellent job of distributing the basketball. Taylor continues to make good decisions with the basketball. On Monday night, the Farmington point guard racked up 15 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds. Taylor is off to a hot start to the season and the 2023 season has the potential to be an impressive one for Taylor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2481855' first='Maddox' last='Teeter']-Scoring Guard-6'5”-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2481855' first='Maddox' last='Teeter'] started off the 2025 season by crashing the boards for the Cardinals. Against Lisa Academy North on Monday night, Teeter brought 10 rebounds and put up 6 points on the night. Teeter is a player that does not mind getting in the paint and battling for the rebounds. Teeter has a smooth jumper that will be on display more throughout the season for the Cardinals. He has a high motor, and it was on display on Monday night for the Cardinals as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1991272' first='Mason' last='Simpson']-Scoring Guard-6'6”-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1991272' first='Mason' last='Simpson'] was active on both ends of the court on Monday night. The Farmington guard had his shot falling and was hitting on a consistent basis. Simpson racked up 9 points and 5 rebounds on Monday night. Simpson is off to a strong start to the season, and I look for his work on both ends of the court to continue to be at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2021593' first='Jaxon' last='Berry']-Small Forward-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few seasons, Berry has displayed range that can hit from anywhere on the court. Berry has a deep three-point range and will use it all throughout the season. He got off to a strong start on Monday night. Berry contributed 11 points and 6 rebounds on the night against Lisa Academy North. Farmington is a team to watch out for as the season progresses. The Cardinals seem to be clicking on all cylinders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
