<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual CBG Fall Series took place again this past weekend at the beautiful Henrico Sports and Events Center, with 4 courts featuring over 40 teams from VA, NC, WV, DC and MD. There were hundreds of future college prospects in attendance, along with over double digit collegiate coaches and multiple national scouts in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In order to give a thorough breakdown of the many standouts from the event, I will be rolling out standouts all weeks in the different classes. Here's part three of four for some of the many junior standouts from VA teams in attendance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1630997' first='Elijah' last='Brandon'] | 5'10” PG | St. Chris</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548452,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagenHXNjs.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagenHXNjs.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548452" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brandon has been out of this world since the summer, and he continued that play at the Fall Series despite playing football just the day before. The 5'10” lead guard showed his ability to absolutely light it up from deep with in the gym range, he showed his shifty ability off the bounce with his tight handle and ability to change speeds, he made great decisions setting his teammates up for easy buckets and he brought toughness on both ends of the floor too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459355' first='Dezmon' last='Ainsworth'] | 6'3” CG | St. Michael</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562159,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageB2QeDw.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageB2QeDw.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562159" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ainsworth is part of a very talented backcourt for this new look St. Michael team that will be a tough out in VISAA D4, and he's a big reason why they were able to beat some very good teams this weekend. At 6'3” he's a strong and physical guard who can get to the paint and create space to finish, he has an excellent midrange with great footwork, he can knock down shots from deep and he has great instincts on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459400' first='Amir' last='Savage'] | 6'4” CG | St. Michael</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562160,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage8F3bwa.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage8F3bwa.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562160" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Savage is another part of this very talented backcourt for St. Michael, and they fit well together as they both can handle the ball, score it in different ways and make plays for others. Savage is a big and athletic guard who can get out in transition and use his explosiveness to finish at and above the rim, he is a quick twitch guard who can change directions effortlessly, he can make tough shots in the midrange area and he plays with a great motor on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1782684' first='Isaiah' last='Brown'] | 6'1” WG | Westfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562161,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagep2xkJY.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagep2xkJY.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562161" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westfield was very impressive with their core of 2026 players that will have them competing late into March over the next two seasons, and Brown was the one who got things started with a big first game which he continued throughout the two days. The 6'1” off guard is a talented shot maker who made shots from all three levels, he's a driller off the catch from deep, he got to spots in the midrange off the bounce and he finished well through traffic too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2252294' first='Jemon' last='Price'] | 6'0” PG | Westfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562164,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageFszDK5.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageFszDK5.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562164" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Price was perhaps their best shot creator for both himself and others, and showed he's a guy you can trust late in games as he hit the game winner on a 30 foot step back against LC Bird in one of the best games of the weekend. Price was very impressive with his ability to create space off the bounce and get into his shot quickly, he got to the paint well and made plays for himself and others, he was very good as a point of attack defender and he was consistently making winning plays for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2252302' first='William' last='Robinson'] | 6'5” WF | Westfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2562165,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagerlGR6L.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagerlGR6L.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562165" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is perhaps the most intriguing long term prospect for this Westfield team, showing a lot of versatility as he's their tallest player and has to guard the bigs but he's really a wing with his skill set and athleticism at his size. He's a strong bully type of wing who can get downhill and use his strength to finish in traffic, he guarded and rebounded well against bigger players, he was a mismatch with his ability to shoot it and put it on the deck and he gives them a lot of different styles they can play with him at the 5.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1963548' first='Colin' last='Stemberger'] | 5'9” PG | Westfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1954631,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-13-at-9.03.46-AM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-13-at-9.03.46-AM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1954631" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stemberger is another impressive guard for this group in a backcourt that has a triple threat of guys who can fill it up, and efficiently made plays in a number of different ways. He's surprisingly shifty off the bounce as he changed speeds well and got to the paint at will, he finished well over bigger defenders, he made shots from deep and he made plays for others off the bounce too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
