Shane Cherry was plucked out of Austin-East by Academy of Central Florida leaving only one of the three exceptional point guards in District 2-AA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2058518' first='Caleb' last='Coates']</strong> is our Preseason D12-A District MVP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Enjoy the @PrepHoopsTN Preseason D12-A All-District Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2058086' first='Tate' last='Surber'] / Senior / McKenzie / Forward</strong></em><br>UT Martin football will get Tate next season. [player_tooltip player_id='2058086' first='Tate' last='Surber'] is a very disciplined multi-sport athlete. A natural leader. Grinder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2058518' first='Caleb' last='Coates'] / Senior / McEwen / Small Forward</strong></em><br>Operates as a point forward. Caleb is a natural leader. Long, lean, devoted. He likes the depth of his Warrior squad this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"Caleb is a dog," said fellow Prep Hoops Expo participant<strong> Trey Guthrie</strong>. "He will out-hustle you the entire game, plus when you think he's tired he will shoot the lights out."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2637835' first='Martez' last='Teague'] / Senior / McKenzie / </em>Power Forward</strong> <br>Teague plays in the lane predominately. The senior demanded a lot of defensive attention last winter, which enabled his teammates extra space to operate. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2630027' first='Case' last='Greene'] / Sophomore / McEwen / Forward </strong></em><br>Favored District MVP [player_tooltip player_id='2058518' first='Caleb' last='Coates'] raves about sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2630027' first='Case' last='Greene'] and his potential. Can Case take a big step so quickly as to earn All-District this year? My best is yes, he will average 14p/6r.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Hagan Honeycutt / Senior / Houston County / Point Guard</strong></em><br>Shifty, thin. Hagan tends to be in on the action, or around it. Great offensive awareness. Can hit his open three-point looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noteworthy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon Davis (McEwen)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2637837' first='Carter' last='Kee'] (McKenzie)<br>Dalton Williams (McEwen)<br>Hawkins Winstead (McEwen)<br>Nathan Merrell (Big Sandy)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1672625' first='Mikey' last='Primm'] (McEwen)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2639787' first='Mac' last='Baggett'] (Houston County)<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">D12-1A Teams</span><br>McEwen<br>Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central<br>Houston County<br>McKenzie<br>Big Sandy<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
