<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2408287' first='Elisha' last='Puckett'] / Hickman County / 2025</strong><br>The most consistently prolific scorer in the first two hours of my attendance was easily [player_tooltip player_id='2408287' first='Elisha' last='Puckett']. The senior dominated the basketball and constantly put balls in the basket.</p>

<p>For Hickman County he is the primary scorer. Puckett really attacks with purpose. There is so little ego to his game, in that he does not need to shoot to feel good about himself. Puckett can pump fake and find a guy and be just as satisfied. The team played with a willingness to defer to Puckett for stretches. While it is good to understand where your points are coming from, becoming over-reliant upon one player can lead to vulnerability long-term. Pure scorer. Fantastic endurance. He is ready to attack on get his shot on almost 90% of the possessions. The game extended into a 1:00 minute overtime. Elisha missed a fading jumper at the horn, so the teams played ‘first basket wins'. Elisha provided a backdoor feed to a cutting teammate for the victory over Summit's Spartans.</p>

<p><strong>Brayden Fowlkes / Hickman County / 2025</strong><br>Brayden shot very well in the third quarter, hitting several three-pointers. Summit switched defenses but could not figure out a way to cool the hot shooters through three quarters.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2634800' first='Keenan' last='West'] / Summit / 2025</strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2634800' first='Keenan' last='West'] is an adept outside shooter, but do not ask him to put it on the floor. Two-way player. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1923548' first='Jackson' last='McCutcheon'] / Brentwood / 2026</strong><br>There might not be a better catch-and-shoot guy in middle Tennessee than Jackson. His handle is much improved, which enables him to put a fancy dribble or two into his release. McCutcheon was on fire in the first half, but it was not unexpected. The guy is consistently elite from the arc region-wide.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2376260' first='Davis' last='Cochran'] / Brentwood / 2027</strong><br>Most of Davis' shots were not from range, but he made an extremely high percentage.<br></p>
