<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2133810' first='Ty' last='Cobb'].</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The D7-3A district will be interesting in 2024-2025. No District MVP is more certain than [player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps'] of Stone Memorial. Still, he and the Panthers of Stone lost their 2nd-6th leading scorers to graduation in the spring. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2133810' first='Ty' last='Cobb']</strong> (Upperman) was a breakout star in his freshman season. Between those two talented guards the district features two Top 3 players in their respective classes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Predicted Order of Finish</span><br>1 - Stone Memorial<br>2 - White County<br>3 - Upperman<br>4 - Livingston Academy<br>5 - Cumberland County<br>6 - DeKalb County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps']</strong> (Stone Memorial) will enter his senior season at 2,120 career points.
