Prep Hoops Preseason All-State Team – Class 3A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Louisiana's preseason 3A team is one that has a combination of top 10 players to all-district performers across the state. While this classification has been dominated by a select set of teams, the talent is really spread across throughout the class. Let's take a look at the preseason 3A team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*Both list will be placed in alphabetical order</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1st Team </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1105530' first='Cornelius' last='Brown'] (5'11" | JF Kennedy | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1480389' first='Dashawn' last='Ceaser'] (6'2" | Iowa | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1105533' first='Jordan' last='Comanche'] (6'5" | Wossman | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218216' first='Jayce' last='Depron'] (6'3" | Madison Prep | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1673158' first='Blane' last='Parish'] (6'7" | Buckeye | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218216' first='Jayce' last='Depron']</strong> is one of the more talented guards in the classification. His ability to score at all three levels makes him a defensive nightmare for teams. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1105530' first='Cornelius' last='Brown']</strong> may be a small guard but he is athletic and can get to the rim in a hiccup. He is an adept passer as well. <strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1480389' first='Dashawn' last='Ceaser']</strong> had a coming out party last season as Iowa made a deep playoff run. His ability to play both guard positions gives him an advantage on most nights. <strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1105533' first='Jordan' last='Comanche']</strong> has played the guard and wing for Wossman and will now see post action in his senior season. If he becomes an effective scorer on the block, he will really give teams trouble. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1673158' first='Blane' last='Parish']</strong> can stretch the floor along with being a load to guard in the post. He will probably be the most improved player in the class this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2nd Team </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elijah Garrick (6'3" | Lake Charles College Prep | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1387997' first='Davonte' last='Landry'] (6'3" | Sophie B. Wright | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218215' first='Aries' last='Lewis'] (6'5" | Port Allen | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285330' first='Antron' last='Mason II'] (6'2" | Wossman | 2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218217' first='Josh' last='Smith'] (6'2" | Madison Prep | 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218217' first='Josh' last='Smith']</strong> was an all-state 1st team performer last season in Louisiana. I believe a similar season production-wise will probably help Madison Prep to another state title. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1218215' first='Aries' last='Lewis']</strong> may be the most athletic player in the 3A. He can block a shot on one end and beat his man for a dunk on the other end. Lewis is a high motor player littered with talent. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1387997' first='Davonte' last='Landry']</strong> is a long distance gunner who has improved his attack to the rim. His ability to do both should keep defenses busy this season. <strong>Elijah Garrick</strong> is a player who can excite the crowd with his open court play. Look for him to be a high volume scorer this season. Guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285330' first='Antron' last='Mason II']</strong> can put up numbers in a hurry when he is on. Improving his shot selection will be big for the Wildcats success this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players will be in some of the most high profile games around the state. Look to catch them when they are in a gym near your area as the season begins this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
