8th Graders Making Noise: 2030s to Watch Pt. 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are about to update our 2029 rankings this week but before we do that, let's take a look at some 8th graders who are already making noise at the varsity level before they've even entered high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3417549"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696fe0b1e9089"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The most impressive of the class that I've seen in terms of potential, Moore is tall and long and looks like he will be ready to be a big part of the Centurions future. Aaron has a little bit of "baby deer" to him right now as he is still getting coordinated but the potential is there to be an elite rim protector with an offensive game that consists of lobs and post moves as he gets older.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3250729"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696fe0b1e911a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Male is one of the top teams in the state this season and Calhoun has already shown he's ready for the battles of playing in the 7th region every night out. Shooting 40% from three while handling a lot of the ball handling duties for the Bulldogs, Mason is carving out a nice role for himself for Coach Haworth and seems to be among the top 8th graders in the city of Louisville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2726857"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696fe0b1e9184"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierre has gotten more said and written about him than almost any player in America in this 2030 class. With all eyes on him, Pierre is having a really strong season for North Oldham. A volume scorer for the Mustangs, Rondo is averaging 12 points per game. If he becomes a better three point shooter, his ceiling is only going to get higher as his game and his body develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3417553"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-696fe0b1e91ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Evangel may have the youngest roster in the state as they rely on several 8th graders who play major roles. Of those, Johnson is one of the best. Averaging 13 points and 4 rebounds per game, Myles is among the most high potential of anyone in the class and is a name to monitor the rest of the way, for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
