We are two weeks into the high school basketball season. Prep Hoops Arkansas prospects are starting to round into midseason form. Here are a few players who lit it up the second week of the high school basketball season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2021880' first='JJ' last='Andrews']-Small Forward/Shooting Guard-Little Rock Christian-6'7” 2026   [player_tooltip player_id='2021880' first='JJ' last='Andrews'] is a player who has proven he can take over a game on both ends of the floor. Andrews fills up the stat sheet on both ends of the floor for the Warriors. In a win over Shiloh Christian this week, Andrews had 32 points, 20 rebounds, and four assists. Andrews is an early-season candidate for player of the year here in the Natural State. Watch out for Andrews as the season progresses.   [player_tooltip player_id='2870897' first='Ethan' last='Kennedy']-Power Forward-Farmington-6'7” 2026   [player_tooltip player_id='2870897' first='Ethan' last='Kennedy'] is a force in the paint on both ends of the floor for the Farmington Cardinals. Kennedy runs the floor well and does an excellent job of absorbing contact while finishing with points. Kennedy recently signed with Arkansas-Monticello, and he has had no problem putting his talents on display and giving Boll Weevil fans a look at the future. Against West Memphis this week, Kennedy struck for 16 points and 12 rebounds. He is a player to watch as we progress further into the season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2434051' first='Gavyn' last='Holman']-Combo Guard-Little Rock Central-6'3” 2027   [player_tooltip player_id='2434051' first='Gavyn' last='Holman'] is a versatile weapon for the Little Rock Central Tigers. He can handle the guard spots or the small forward position and not lose effectiveness on the floor. Holman is the type of player who has no problem filling up the stat sheet for the Tigers. Against Fort Smith Northside, Holman struck for 20 points, eight rebounds, three rebounds, and two steals. He is a player opposing teams must account for on both ends of the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2021883' first='Camarion' last='Bead']-Point Guard-Bryant-6'3” 2026   The Bryant point guard is a game-changer on both ends of the floor. Bead has tremendous court awareness. He knows where everyone is on the floor. Bead has no problem making the extra pass to an open teammate for easy points. The senior guard had another strong performance to start the season against Little Rock Mills. Bead struck for 15 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and three steals against the Comets. He is a player to watch out for as the season progresses.
