<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Wiregrass Kings&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">AISA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Head Coach: Brandon Hutton&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Last Season Record: 12-20&nbsp;(According to maxpreps.com)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Key Players:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Brayden Treadaway</strong> (6'0/CG/'26/Wiregrass)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brayden is a versatile combo guard with a well-rounded scoring package. He can get buckets at all three levels and shows strong awareness as both a passer and secondary ball handler. His willingness to rebound and battle in the paint adds toughness and extra value from the guard spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Graysen Ellison</strong> (6'1/PG/'26/Wiregrass)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Grayson is the Kings' steady floor general with a mature game. He does an excellent job balancing scoring and facilitating. He does a good job keeping his teammates involved while still being able to create his own offense. His quick first step and ability to finish through contact make him a constant threat when attacking the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Tucker Duren</strong> (6'0/SG/'27/Wiregrass)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tucker brings a two-way impact to the floor. Offensively, he spaces the floor with reliable perimeter shooting, which forces defenses to stay honest which&nbsp; opens lanes for his teammates. Defensively, his energy and activity stand out as he competes with a high motor and is disruptive when guarding the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Key Role Players to Watch:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2872187' first='Silas' last='Edenfield']</strong> (6'1/F/Wiregrass)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Silas is returning from a season-ending injury, and will be leaned on for leadership and toughness. His presence on the floor gives the Kings stability and a veteran voice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jamell Blanton</strong> (6'2/F/'27/Wiregrass)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG mell_mell783</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jamell returning from a season-ending injury and will bring athleticism and versatility to the wing. His ability to put pressure on the rim, defend multiple positions, and play with energy adds an important dynamic to the lineup on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Returning Starters:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Graysen Ellison (G/12th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brayden Treadaway (G/12th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tucker Duren (F/11th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jamell Blanton (F/11th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>New Additions:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Transfers:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kobe Reynolds (G/11th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">JT Scott (F/12th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jameson Waddell (G/11th Grade)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What To Expect From The Kings This Season:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Kings style of play will be a big difference from last season. They will be a running team this season, look to make the game into a track meet. Their defensive philosophy will change this season as they will look to be more aggressive and applying more pressure hoping to force more turnovers. They are a much deeper team this season and will look to wear opponents down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>What Will It Take for The Kings To Win State?</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Coach Hutton believes that team chemistry will be the key piece to a deep playoff run. He believes that the pieces to become state champions are there but they have to put it all together. He is very optimistic about the season this year and what his team can achieve.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952165,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Expo-Oct2025.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Expo-Oct2025.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2952165" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">🏀 <strong>Join Us for the #PHTheExpoAL Camp! </strong>🏀</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Are you ready to take your game to the next level?
