Highlights
Keller Jackson Keller Jackson 6'3" | PF Blackman | 2026 State TN – Blackman – 2026
Keller Jackson Keller Jackson 6'3" | PF Blackman | 2026 State TN rebounded well against a very active, bouncy team in Bolivar Central. Keller rose off of the ground well with two arms raised high. Classic rebounding technique. Blackman Head Coach Barry Wortman was not impressed with his team’s press-break to begin, nor should he have been. Keller and teammate Dyson Elam Dyson Elam 6'3" | SG Blackman | 2025 State TN were pulled a few minutes in, but frankly the whole team was unsteady against the Tigers at the outset.
Kylan McNeal Kylan McNeal 5'11" | PG Bolivar Central | 2024 State TN – Bolivar Central – 2024
Within a 20 second span Kylan scored a contested layup, nearly forced a turnover while pressuring fullcourt, tugged a defensive rebound, started a fastbreak, and delivered a perfect 30′ pass that became an assist. Kylan made great plays throughout.
Trey Saffold – Blackman – 2024
The Blaze needed to make a tough shot or two to get their flow going and Saffold busted the second jumper for the cause. Saffold made simple decisions against the frenetic pressure.
Jaylen Rice Jaylen Rice 5'10" | PG Red Bank | 2025 State TN – Red Bank – 2025
Red Bank started four seniors and one junior Jaylen Rice Jaylen Rice 5'10" | PG Red Bank | 2025 State TN . Rice’s best early play against Columbia Central came off of a defensive rebound, one dribble into a 50′ pass hitting Kendrick Lloyd Kendrick Lloyd 6'2" | SG Red Bank | 2024 State TN in-stride for a layup.
Jah’Quinton Woods – Bolivar Central – 2024
Active rebounder. He challenged defensive rebounders a couple of times.
Jayln McDonald Jayln McDonald 6'5" | PF Blackman | 2026 State TN – Blackman – 2026
McDonald came off of the bench injecting immediate tenacity around the rim. McDonald may not start, but both he and Christian Johnson Christian Johnson 6'6" | PF Blackman | 2025 State TN will be critical to the team reaching its ceiling. They give size that nobody else gives and their strength is important in those tough battles underneath. With Blackman to reach and advance in the State Tournament they will see an occasional 6-foot-6 or 6-foot-7 big. McDonald and Johnson are truly the only Blaze members that can guard them serviceably.
Kendrick Lloyd Kendrick Lloyd 6'2" | SG Red Bank | 2024 State TN – Red Bank – 2024
Kendrick was constantly the horse outpacing the field, scoring repeatedly on uncontested fastbreaks. Lloyd was fantastic in September and is certain to score frequently all season for the Lions.
