The @PrepHoopsTN D7-4A All-District First Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2362465' first='Jaren' last='Davis']</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LaVergne's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1947172' first='Landon' last='Bryant']</strong> is our D7-4A District MVP. Enjoy the @PrepHoopsTN D7-4A All-District Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*<strong>MVP</strong>* -- <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1947172' first='Landon' last='Bryant'] / Senior / LaVergne / Guard</strong></em><br>Star senior [player_tooltip player_id='1947172' first='Landon' last='Bryant'] surpassed 1000 career points thanks to his 20.7 ppg average. Beyond his offensive contributions Landon hauls down 6.6 rpg and gives out 5.1 apg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2362465' first='Jaren' last='Davis'] / Senior / Cookeville / Guard</strong></em><br>Facing the loss of a Mr. Basketball-candidate, a head coach, one of the program's best point guards of All-Time, and a talented '25 guard Jaren somehow propped up a program as youngsters learned on the fly. Davis deserves consideration for District MVP for his remarkable consistency and leadership during what might've been an asteroid crash of a season. Look at Morristown East (4-21) as an example of what can happen when a program graduates an All-Time talent from a State Tournament team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2422715' first='Elliyon' last='Kinzer'] / Junior / Smyrna / Shooting Guard</em></strong><br>Breakout scorer "Yon" Kinzer puts up 16.1 per night along with taking down 4.8 ppg. The athletic wing guard leads Smyrna in scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2308938' first='Steven' last='Sherman'] / Junior / LaVergne / Guard</strong></em><br>Spindly scoring guard. Sherman started last season and carried over his offensive success to 2024-2025. He and [player_tooltip player_id='1947172' first='Landon' last='Bryant'] provide the 1-2 punch for the District Champion Wolverines.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2701561' first='Desmond' last='Carpenter'] / Senior / Stewarts Creek / Guard</strong></em><br>In his single Stewarts Creek season [player_tooltip player_id='2701561' first='Desmond' last='Carpenter'], aka Dez, thrashed district defenders. Carpenter sat out last year after playing minimally for Father Ryan two years ago. Only his teammates, guys he played middle school with, knew this was coming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">ALTERNATE</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1769962' first='Towan' last='Siler'] / Senior / Wilson Central / Guard</strong></em><br>Typically, [player_tooltip player_id='1769962' first='Towan' last='Siler'] is an All-District First 5 player, but his team just struggled too much for his inclusion. After a wonderful non-District season, Wilson Central's wheels fell off and they won just a single game against their rivals. Siler is a fantastic scorer with a college hoops future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noteworthy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2503022' first='Ja'Michael' last='Mitchell'] (Wilson Central)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2642030' first='Cash' last='Williams'] (Lebanon)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2237601' first='Micah' last='Shaw'] (Stewarts Creek)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2236641' first='Kaden' last='Matthews'] (Smyrna)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2575799' first='Walker' last='Redding'] (Cookeville)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2358778' first='Sean' last='Goggins'] (Stewarts Creek)<br>Brody Reasonover (Lebanon)<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">D7-4A Teams</span><br>Cookeville*<br>LaVergne*<br>Stewarts Creek*<br>Wilson Central*<br>Lebanon<br>Smyrna*<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
