WEEK 12 AWARD WINNERS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 12 bring a close to the weekly awards as we head into post season play. I want to thank all of you who submitted forms via jotform that was made available and sent DM's and messages. Being impossible to track every player's performance I must rely on information and stats being submitted in several ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BUCKET GETTER</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2698524,"width":"257px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/elisancomb.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/elisancomb.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2698524" style="width:257px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2211906' first='Eli' last='Sancomb'] does it again. Putting together one of the best junior campaigns in recent history for any player in any class, Sancomb has proven the hype is real. Squaring off against another AA power Logan, Sancomb dropped a cool 41 against the sizable and talented Wildcats. In typical [player_tooltip player_id='2211906' first='Eli' last='Sancomb'] fashion he matched that big point total with 14 rebounds and a whopping 9 assists. Sancomb's play has many believing they are destined to cut down the nets in Charleston. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DOUBLE DOUBLER</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1857261,"width":"422px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/3109E383-D4F2-44C5-8B4B-4792855653D0.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/3109E383-D4F2-44C5-8B4B-4792855653D0.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1857261" style="width:422px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1851905' first='Roman' last='Kellum'] has been one of the most consistent and valuable players this year playing in WV's top division, not to mention one of the toughest schedules in the state. Kellum busted out for 24 points and 11 rebounds against Huntington High, which are numbers he's routinely put up all season. Kellum has had nothing short of an impressive senior season and has handled himself like a professional doing everything necessary to put his team in position to win every night out and making all his teammates better. The D2 target will likely see more suitors come along by the time the state tournament rolls around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BIG DOG</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2796076,"width":"248px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/rasheedmorrison.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/rasheedmorrison.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2796076" style="width:248px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2554047' first='Rasheed' last='Morrison'] most recently led Expression Prep to a victory in the Big Shots Prep Nationals scoring 20 points, but also put up a huge last regular season game scoring 30 points, grabbing 10 rebounds with 5 assists and 1 steal. Morrison is already divison I offered by Arizona State with interest from Marshall amongst others. Once you see Morrison play its easy to see he's on a different level than most everyone else on the floor in high school games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">LOCK 'EM UP</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2796265,"width":"257px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/IMG_8596.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/IMG_8596.jpeg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2796265" style="width:257px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578731' first='Baustin' last='Bowers'] has lit up the scoreboard all season but what's been largely unnoticed is his defense and the stats generated. Bowers on ball defense and great anticipation of passing lanes has allowed him to put up some excellent defensive stats and this week was tremendous. Recording five steals in one game and three in two others and doing all this on the defensive end while scoring 20+ in all three contests. A tremendous way to close out a regular season for a senior. Bowers gives Liberty a legit chance to play the underdog and spoiler in the AA regionals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">FAB FROSH</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2796271,"width":"293px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/SPROUSE.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/SPROUSE.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-2796271" style="width:293px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We could've picked [player_tooltip player_id='2395983' first='Dominic' last='Sprouse'] for this award many times and been justified this year, but with so many outstanding freshman to cover and having tremendous performances we've tried to get to them all and we new Dom would fit in somewhere. Well, this week he can't be denied. Dominic has been in the varsity rotation since game one and taken advantage of the opportunity to the fullest. Growing to 6'2" and constantly honing his shooting craft, Sprouse has made huge contributions throughout the season with his shooting and heady play on defense. Dom came off the bench as a sixth or seventh man until a few weeks ago when he got the nod to start and nobody has looked back. Sprouse put together an incredible week starting with a win over Calvary that saw him shoot 4-5 from beyond the arc, and end up with 17 points, 2 rebs, 2 ast, 1 steal and 1 block. Two days later popping off for a statline of 9 points, 3 rebs and 3 assists and then the icing for the week saw him help elevate the GW squad over a feisty and talented Parkersburg South with 3-5 form beyond the arc and 16 points total. Sprouse has shot an impressive 41% from deep which is very impressive no matter what grade or division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
