Ferguson showed why he is one of the best players in the state with his attacking style and finishing ability. His back court mate, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132747' first='Ian' last='Edmond']</strong>, put a ton of pressure on defenses getting downhill to the cup. His style of play helped Zachary raise the title. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459986' first='Christopher' last='Gay']</strong> was flat out one of the best players over the weekend. Inside, outside, and in transition, he was phenomenal. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132749' first='Jaiden' last='Hall']</strong> stepped his game up big time. His shooting and defense were a reason why Calvary made the title game. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2316989' first='Tyrone' last='Jamison']</strong> was an offensive stud.

He had a game winner at the horn and his drives to the rim along with his play in transition was at a high level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421287' first='Markez' last='Davis']</strong> showed his high level talent from the time he stepped on the floor. He can score at all three levels and his man-to-man defense is very good. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1285330' first='Antron' last='Mason II']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1330583' first='Zion' last='Weeks']</strong> displayed why they are one of the best back courts in the state.

He is a player, which teams saw, cannot be left open behind the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Honorable Mention</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2400706' first='Jayden' last='Wells'] - Red River</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1679406' first='Antonio' last='Dixon'] - Huntington</strong>, <strong>Courtlon Young - Northwest</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1394528' first='Travon' last='Varner'] - Richwood</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2410736' first='Rashaed' last='Smith'] - Zachary</strong>, <strong>Davey Mays - Wossman</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1680509' first='E'Jayden' last='McDonald'] - Captain Shreve</strong>, <strong>Kervin Johnson - Tioga</strong>, <strong>David Smith - Bossier</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1347260' first='Chris' last='Shiflett'] - Evangel</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2302359' first='Bryson' last='Ebarb'] - Mansfield</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1393932' first='Kerel' last='Dean-Woods'] - Bossier</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1967568' first='Lavell' last='Lane'] - Richwood</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2302344' first='Keonte' last='Kennedy'] - Huntington</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2466402' first='Tonio' last='Ambler-Barr'] - Bossier</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2414928' first='Zy'quayvious' last='Smith'] - Red River</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1543654' first='Joseph' last='Spann'] - Lincoln Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This tournament was a great way to end summer high school play before players head back into the travel season.
