<p>The following are the best 5 sophomore college prospects in Hendersonville, Tennessee. What this means is that they will eventually receive the greatest recruiting attention and enjoy the best opportunities.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Though the ultimate decision in this specific ranking was mine alone I strongly considered input from head coaches from around the city. For example, I was able to get Beech Head Coach Kip Brown on the phone January 15th and Pope John Paul II Assistant Coach Ethan Abner consistently about their top players. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>1) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2236659' first='Anthony' last='Wiggins']</strong> (John Paul II)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Through 18 games speedy guard [player_tooltip player_id='2236659' first='Anthony' last='Wiggins'] is averaging 9.5 points per game. Wiggins scored in double figures in half of the games so far, pouring in 21 points upon Hardin Valley Academy and 22 against reigning State Champions Independence High just after Christmas.</p>

<p>2) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2734600' first='Ayden' last='Meadows']</strong> (Hendersonville)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Quick and strong, Ayden will challenge [player_tooltip player_id='2236659' first='Anthony' last='Wiggins'] for the best prospect in the city in the coming years. Meadows plays solid defense in the Hendersonville Commando's zone. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2734604' first='Weston' last='Hall']</strong> (Hendersonville)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Weston is a fantastic athlete with impressive skill development for a sophomore. Though he stands about 6-foot-6, Hall can dribble effectively, and the Hendersonville program lists him as a small forward and a point guard. Thanks to his height and versatility [player_tooltip player_id='2734604' first='Weston' last='Hall'] could also leapfrog the previous prospects on this list.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2807696' first='Talon' last='Davenport']</strong> (Beech)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Multi-sport athlete. Elusive mobility. "He will be one of the football team's better wide receivers next year," shared Beech High Head Coach Kip Brown. "Lefty. Can slash. 6'1". Dunked a few breakaway dunks this year. Very high I.Q."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2733126' first='Bennett' last='Altepeter']</strong> (Merrol Hyde)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Athlete. Bennett plays goalie for the Merrol Hyde soccer team and backup center for the Hawk hoopers. Altepeter is springy enough along with nice quicks to project as a college 2/3 in basketball. There is work to be done in the skill department, but he might get there as a college basketball prospect.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Altepeter averages 7.1 ppg and 3.1 rpg through the team's first 14 games.</p>
