<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The #LCDClassic once again brings a loaded field to Oxford High School on December 12–13, 2025. Friday night's slate features several high-profile matchups and a number of prospects poised to make noise. Here are the players to keep an eye on as the action tips off…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Hazel Green vs Auburn (5pm)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2672829,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Trindon-Manior-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Trindon-Manior-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2672829" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2967572' first='Trindon' last='Manior']</strong> (5'11/CG/'26/Auburn)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Trindon_manior</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Trindonmanior2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Trindon is an assertive combo guard with proven shot-making ability at all three levels. His mature floor game allows him to create offense consistently, whether generating his own looks or setting up teammates off the bounce. Averaging 15 ppg and 4.5 apg, he enters the event in rhythm. With Hazel Green expected to key in on [player_tooltip player_id='2313904' first='Antwane' last='Daniels'], Trindon will likely be asked to shoulder an even larger scoring load and set the tone early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3077581,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Legend-Martin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Legend-Martin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3077581" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2639327' first='Legend' last='Martin']</strong> (6'5/CG/‘26/Hazel Green HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @LegendMartin07</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Legend's blend of positional size, scoring versatility, and on-ball skill makes him a matchup problem. He has been instrumental in Hazel Green's growing chemistry and has emerged as the team's alpha. For Hazel Green to capitalize on its experience edge against Auburn, Legend will need to be aggressive on both ends and establish his presence early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Dothan vs Pinson Valley (6:30pm)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2895204,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Daylan-Joshua-Coleman-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Daylan-Joshua-Coleman-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2895204" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2729420' first='Daylan' last='Coleman']</strong> (5'10/PG/'27/Dothan)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: d1_daylan1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @d1_daylan5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Daylan brings a potent perimeter arsenal and is highly effective scoring from deep and in the mid-range. With defenses likely focused on Diggy Coleman, Daylan should have opportunities to attack. Expect him to apply pressure by dictating tempo and staying aggressive in both full-court and half-court situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3217454,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/PH-Jalen-Pritchett-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/PH-Jalen-Pritchett-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3217454" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Pinson Valley Boys Basketball, Pinson Valley Boys Basketball</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314479' first='Jalen' last='Pritchett']</strong> (5'11/PG/'26/Pinson Valley) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jalenpritchett3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jalen is a smart, two-way guard who impacts games with his ability to play on and off the ball. With [player_tooltip player_id='1958557' first='Quay' last='Lynch'] sidelined, he has taken on a heavier offensive and leadership load. Against a talented Dothan backcourt, Jalen will need to be sharp, poised, and productive for Pinson Valley to stay in control.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Hale County vs Oxford (8pm)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2952152,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Zamarion-Johnson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/08/PH-Zamarion-Johnson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2952152" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2414750' first='Zamarion' last='Johnson']</strong> (6'1/CG/'26/Hale County HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: omgisdatzee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @omgdatszee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Zamarion is one of the most athletic guards in the event and has grown into a reliable scorer and facilitator. With so much defensive attention often directed toward [player_tooltip player_id='2313889' first='Gage' last='Mayfield'], Zamarion has consistently capitalized, emerging as a key producer. His ability to pressure Oxford's backcourt with his playmaking could shift the momentum in this matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2893069,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Caileb-Wilson-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Caileb-Wilson-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2893069" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2748377' first='Caileb' last='Wilson']</strong> (6'1/CG/'28/Oxford)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cwilson_the1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @cwilson_the1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Caileb has been a steady two-way contributor for the Yellow Jackets to open the season. His scoring punch and defensive intensity will be essential as Oxford faces a Hale County squad favored to contend for the blue map. Expect Caileb to play a significant role in containing Hale County's perimeter threats while providing offense when Oxford needs it most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
