Highlights
Sevier County’s Jayden Barton Jayden Barton 6'3" | SG Sevier County | 2026 State TN made six three-pointers on the way to 22 total points in a 60-51 loss to Maryville High. Barton showed of a very quick release.
Made shots fell from the top of the arc, the top of the arc, the corner, the wing, the top of the arc, and the wing again. Between the six shots he dribbled just a single time. Barton thrived off of the catch.
Highlights
In recent months Cade Capps Cade Capps 6'5" | SG Stone Memorial | 2025 State #210 Nation TN was elevated to #1 in our ’25 Player Rankings. His shooting success or inclusion here should not surprise. Even so Capps put up a comical stat line.
51 points!
Cade scored 11 points in the first quarter. He scored 16 points in the second and 15 in the third quarter. A final 11 points in the 4th helped him climb all the way to 51 total points for the game. Incredible.
Capps made four three-pointers and all nine of his free throws.
Highlights
Cam Blivens Cam Blivens 6'2" | PG Lipscomb Academy | 2026 State TN (Lipscomb Academy) played excellent against Hendersonville Saturday. The sophomore shot the basketball exceptionally (8-11 FG, 4-7 3’s). It is outside the purview of this article, but Blivens really attacked the lane with his dribble too.
