Early Season Look: Recent Standout Performances

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Damien Ross | G | 2026 | Jesuit | @damienross</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ross is a composed two-way guard who takes pride in doing the little things right. He embraces tough defensive assignments and makes life difficult for opposing scorers. On offense, he plays with control — reads the floor, keeps the ball moving, and doesn't force bad shots. He opened the season with a strong all-around performance: 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, staying aggressive as a scorer while impacting the game in multiple ways.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christopher Stoddart | F | CCC | @_ChrisStoddart</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stoddart continues to show why he's a key piece for CCC.

A well-rounded performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633098' first='Devan' last='Jones'] | G | 2026 | Charlotte | @Devanjones_5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones has the toughness and motor coaches love. A downhill scorer who absorbs contact, defends with energy, and makes winning plays. At 6-2, he's a smart, steady playmaker who impacts both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Scott Simmons | G | 2026 | Wiregrass Ranch | @sscottsimmons9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiregrass starts the season 2–0, and Simmons has been a key factor.
