Mukadi Mukoma
Mukadi Mukoma
https://twitter.com/mukadimukomarnFinishing second on the team last year in points and rebounds, Mukoma will look to take the lead for the Islanders this year. His ability to penetrate with a variety of floaters and long arms make him tough to defend. Mukoma is a solid wing shooter who can dial it up from deep and make teams pay if they fail to close out. With the loss of their top scorer, Mukoma is in a prime position to be a standout on West side of the state.
Thomas has been a 4-year starter on Varsity and has developed tremendously over his high school career. Thomas had a terrific summer, earning a couple of junior college offers along the way. A three-level scorer, Thomas will be a focal point for the Eagles this year in both scoring and his leadership. We can discuss Thomas’s physical skillset on the court as being one of the best; however, it may be his mental skillset that sets him apart with his unwavering confidence and willingness to play however the team needs him to, in order to have a chance to win. Look for Thomas to make his case as one of the best in state this year.
Averaging just under 10 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season, Cooper is one of the most talented shooters in the state. His 6’6″ frame and quick trigger make him a tough defend on the perimeter. Cooper has improved in the painted area, making him a threat at all levels and spots on the floor. The recent Air Force commit has the size and shooting capability that makes college scouts drool and will have a huge senior year.
https://twitter.com/ElijahGaethrnFinishing his junior season 3rd in Class A in assists, 15th in Class A in rebounds and steals, while averaging 12.7 points per game, Gaeth is a do it all type of guard. He was thrust into the point guard role these last couple of seasons and seemed to start settling in toward the middle of last year. Gaeth is able to penetrate using both hands and can finish multiple ways around the rim. He knows how to get his teammates involved and will have plenty of weapons at his disposal with a deep Mustang this winter. Gaeth’s ability to affect the game in multiple ways will become his selling point come spring.
