He brings a blend of experience, versatility, and confidence to the court. He consistently finds ways to get buckets and has the tools to develop into a high-level two-way player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Camron Smith</strong> (5'8/PG/'27/Williamson)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: lil_cam2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Camron is a poised floor general with a high basketball IQ beyond his years. He is calm under pressure, makes smart decisions, and leads with maturity. He controls tempo and is a reliable presence in the backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2316553' first='Dontaye' last='Bush']</strong> (6'6/F/Williamson)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: dontaye___</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Dontaye is the heart of the Lions' defense.

He plays with a high motor and has shown flashes of becoming a two-way impact player. His growth will be key to the Lions' depth and success this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Lions' Identity &amp; Summer Focus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Defense is the Lions' anchor. They pride themselves on being a gritty, hard-nosed team that competes on every possession. This summer, they are focusing on becoming even more disruptive defensively by using their size, athleticism, and intensity to create pressure and force turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Offensively, the Lions aim to maximize possessions by playing an uptempo style. They want to push the pace, play unselfishly, and let their athleticism shine in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One important thing that Coach Griffin wants to stress this off-season is the mindset of his players. He emphasizes a “next-play mentality,” never getting too high or too low, and always staying focused on the task at hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ultimately, this summer is about building chemistry and strengthening their identity. Coach Griffin is looking for his players to support one another through adversity and success, and continue growing as a true team on and off the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Here's Where You Can Find The Lions In June:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 5th: @Robertsdale</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 11th: @Saraland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 13th: @Alabama State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 17th: @Pascagoula</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">June 19th: @Reid Sate in Evergreen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
