After a slow first half against Chattanooga Arts &amp; Sciences Arrington began to score in bunches after the break. Station Camp won. More importantly, Arrington reaffirmed his high ranking and ability to create or score with the best of them. Remember [player_tooltip player_id='2118369' first='Connor' last='Arrington'] is a junior-to-be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2854897"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68558ca4bccd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>6/20/25:</strong> After missing a lot of 2024-2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2854897' first='Co' last='Vargason'] needs to catch up. His Friday morning dominance suggests he can play basketball beyond college. Co hit a corner three-pointer to extend a Jackson Christian lead early in the second half. Vargason can play either guard position for his high school and that helps because [player_tooltip player_id='2815295' first='Kelsey' last='Rose'] Jr. dominates the basketball. Vargason's handle is sound and his ability to catch-and-shoot help the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2291122"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6855c4dbd6445"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6/20/25: If [player_tooltip player_id='2291122' first='Dylan' last='Jones'] is not the best prospect in 2027, then he is pretty close to it.

At 6-foot-5, Landon will always be a tall wing player. He looks to be destined to play small forward. The squad runs a 2-3 zone on defense that kind of hides the wings. His mid-range shooting is strong, and the [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers'] are a great AAU home. Union University has been in touch with him this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2543986"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6855cbd3d5316"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>6/20/25:</strong> The best big man in his class and at some point James will be the best big in the state, maybe after [player_tooltip player_id='1959160' first='Trey' last='Thompson'] graduates. The ceiling is very, very high for James. The ability of James to move around the floor and defend multiple positions makes him so threatening and potent.

He moves his feet well enough, and the outside shooting looked good Friday, as per usual. Myles is a lofty prospect in 2027 thanks to his shooting touch and height for the position.

Truth be told Frison was forced to take some difficult shots because his team did not run much offense. It was kind of Frison against 5 for stretches.
