Ramsey's Nine Sunday Standouts

Admittedly there wasn't a lot going on this weekend as a lot teams took the holiday weekend off before traveling for the two upcoming live periods. However, Prep Hoops Indiana will always find a way to get into the gym. On Sunday we took in a semifinal game at the Adidas Invitational before heading over to watch the 15u Championship game at the Firecracker Classic. Here are nine individual standouts from the games we watched on Sunday.    We seen this Jennings County High School guard put up some big scoring numbers at various Prep Hoops Circuit events throughout the spring. He shot the ball very well at the Charlie Hughes Showcase in late June as well. However, it was his playmaking and passing ability that really stood out while watching Team Blaze 17u on Sunday. Davis was consistently finding open teammates and nearly led his team all of the way back from a sizeable second half deficit. Solid under-the-radar guard with monitoring.     Jones is a very impressive, fluid athlete with the ball in his hands. He checks the boxes in terms of positional size and length at 6'3", but it is the way he floats around the floor that is most impressive. The Borden High School rising sophomore is very comfortable as a ball handler and can create his own shot at various levels on the floor. He gets get vertical lift on his jump shots and flashes some explosiveness as a finisher. Meanwhile, he is probably still at his best as a three-point shooting threat. Jones scored 14 points in Era Elite 15u's championship game win on Sunday afternoon.     Lynch went off early in the game for Multiplier 15u as they built an early lead. The talented 5'9" guard was shooting it in from three-point range and showing off a creative intermediate range game. He has the ability to score against size inside of the arc which was good to see along with his pure outside stoke. Lynch, a rising sophomore at Delta High School, went on to score a team-leading 21 points in a loss at the buzzer.     We highlighted Miller on Saturday as well, but he Sunday's writeup wouldn't be complete without mentioning him once again. The talented guard out of New Castle High School scored a game-high 24 points including 5-10 shooting from three-point range in [program_tooltip program_id='2400093' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Tradition'] 17u's semifinal victory. Miller has a quick release and seemingly unlimited range. He is really proving himself as one of the better shot-makers in Indiana's rising senior class.     Playing alongside the likely front-runner for the 2026 Indiana Mr. Basketball award takes some of the shine away from just how talented Parra is in his own right. He took over for a stretch in the first half on Sunday for [program_tooltip program_id='2400093' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Tradition'] knocking down a couple of tough three-point shots and showcasing some real athleticism when getting to the rim. He finished with 16 points in a hard fought victory. Parra is a high-percentage three-point shooter and talented all-around scorer.     The combination of size, strength, athleticism, and skill of this 6'2" guard from Lanesville High School continues to impress us. Pearce looked really good in the Firecracker Classic 15u Championship Game on Sunday slicing his way to the basket off of the dribble, finishing in transition, and making a couple of catch-and-shoot looks from the perimeter. He ended up making the game-winning layup with 1.6 seconds remaining and scored a team-leading 16 points.     You'll be impressed just when looking at this young prospect. Reed checks every possible box when it comes to athletic and physical gifts. The 6'4"-6'5" forward has impressive size, moves around like a guard, and has the strength of a post player. He was comfortable with the ball in his hands showcasing the ability to start the fast break directly off of a rebound and was a very skilled passer. The lefty forward really dominated the glass and was a go-to presence for Multiplier 15u throughout Sunday's championship game. Really impressive young prospect that will be a sophomore at Ben Davis High School.     A Class of 2027 prospect playing up with [program_tooltip program_id='2076162' first='Team' last='Blaze Select']'s 17u squad, Walker was part of a backcourt duo that nearly brought them all of the way back in the second half against Team Tradition. The 6'0" guard started heating up from beyond the arc, making some tough jump shots, and creating off of the dribble as a driver. His ball skill really stood out while playing against older, talented competition. One to watch at Bloomington North.     Washington is a strong, sturdily built guard that found a lot of success getting into the the teeth of the defense off of the dribble and scoring both at the rim and in the intermediate range. He consistently played off of two feet and hit a variety of jump shots, floaters, and layups at the end of his drives. The rising senior from Bloomington North was part of a talented Team Blaze 17u backcourt that nearly pulled off of a very impressive second half comeback against Team Tradition.
