<p>Consider these productive Class A dudes. Defenders at the Class A level certainly struggle to contain them nightly.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3141688' first='Isaac' last='Hargrove'] </strong>(Culleoka)<br><br>Isaac can hit the three. He is a strong senior, definitely one of the strongest guards physically at the Class A level. His wing three-pointer versus Battle Creek stymied a daunting BCHS run, elevating Culleoka back to an eight-point lead. Midway through the third quarter Culleoka led 36-28 at the Cornersville Invitational.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3141685' first='Cody' last='McMillan'] </strong>(Culleoka)<br><br>Cody is what's historically known as a space-eater. Big, owns his position and is impossible to bump off the spot. Like Mike Alstott of the Tampa Buccaneers way back when...Cody is a freight train full of power when he gets "downhill" on the drive. He attacked Battle Creek with a 20' penetrating drive that was unmet, perhaps for fear of physical safety. Finished with a soft layup over the front of the rim.</p>
