Standout Forwards at the Current River Challenge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the top forwards that I watched at the Current River Challenge, which was held at Van Buren.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2915430' first='Wyatt' last='Henry'] (Seymour): A 6'8" 2026 forward who is one of the top small school talents in the SWMO area. I was very impressed when I first saw him at the Prep Hoops Expo in St. Louis is August. He was just as impressive in this event against Woodland. He is a very skilled big who can handle the ball, facilitate offense and shoot it from 3-point range. He was also attacking the basket and throwing down dunks. He is a matchup problem with his height and variety of perimeter skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aiden Sullivan (Van Buren): A 6'1" 2026 forward who scored more than 20 points in a victory over Richland. He is a good athlete who really operates well around the basket as he finishes very well. He has a solid body and he uses his strength when he goes on the attack. He plays much bigger than his actual height.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corban Tharp (Alton): A 6'4" 2027 forward who has a big body and who likes to play the physical game in the low post. He establishes a good base in the paint when he posts up to take up space. He is a solid finisher around the basket with both hands. He also showed some good passing skills as he was able to hit open cutters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2966383' first='Gary' last='Tilley'] (Richland Essex): A 6'4" 2026 small forward who is a versatile offensive player. He can really shoot the ball from 3-point range. He is also very effective in the high post area, where he spent much of the game that I watched him. He can pass it and also make a quick move into the lane to get a bucket. He also used his length to rebound the ball effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owen Sanders (Bunker): A 6'4" 2026 forward who played a solid inside game in the victory over Eminence. He is a solid athlete who rebounds and blocks shots with good activity. He got multiple offensive boards and putbacks in the game. He is a strong blue-collar player who does his job very well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remmington Vandergriff (Pocahontas): A 6'5" 2027 forward from Arkansas who has a big body and he uses it very effectively around the basket. He gets great position with some nice seals for catches and drop step buckets in the post. He was also rebounding and blocking shots while holding down the middle on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
