<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/3/26:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2238576' first='Derrick' last='Roberson'] dominated from the jump, but he did struggle with his free throws (3-6 FT's) early. Derrick scored 16 points in the opening eight minutes along with two assists. Roberson's only competition for game MVP was teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1296308' first='Reid' last='Conley']. Together they crushed the hosting Wildcats. Derrick is State Champion and State Tournament MVP (2025).</p>

<p><strong>2/3/26:</strong> Too quick for Polk County's guards. Reid is a dangerous talent for any high school opponents and downright cheat code at the 2A level. Despite standing 6-foot-4 Reid was markedly quicker than shorter guards. Conley scored 13 points in the first quarter alone. He made all three three-pointers he took in that timeframe.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/3/26:</strong> In big games, the Chattanooga Prep team must do better guarding the perimeter or their starting big is going to punished and pick up foul after foul covering for them. Joel picked up two fouls in the game's first 8 minutes. What Bulis gives the team is largely irreplaceable. He defends the rim ferociously. He rebounds at an elite level for 2A. He allows [player_tooltip player_id='2238576' first='Derrick' last='Roberson'] to leak out on the break where he gets most of his points. If Bulis sits, then Roberson must stick around and rebound. It impacts the entire gameplan.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/3/26:</strong> Surprisingly, Tavion was an adept shooter. Great guard height. Tavion scored five points early on a beautiful drive in the halfcourt and a wide-open three-pointer. Foster will be the star for Chattanooga Prep next season and starts for a veteran team right now. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/3/26:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='3467793' first='Benjamin' last='Webb'] showed off a little wiggle. Webb is a shifty dribbler and used his creativity to He struggled, as did all of his teammates, playing defense against the quick Sentinels. Sophomore Webb entered Tuesday averaging over 22 points per game. Not at all frightening of frame, Webb scores and scores plenty. He leads Polk County in ppg. As a freshman last year Webb scored over 15 ppg.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/3/26:</strong> Confident. Strong. Colby took the ball right to Chattanooga Prep, which is the right move. You cannot play timid against the incredible squad. Did not rebound offensively well at all. Colby will probably not face a better team than Chattanooga Prep all season, but Polk County did not rebound to any degree Tuesday night. Colby showed toughness and want-to. He just lacked the spring and size of [player_tooltip player_id='2238576' first='Derrick' last='Roberson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1959198' first='Joel' last='Bulis'].</p>

<p class="text-gray-700"><strong>2/4/26:</strong> Tremendous strength. Colton looks to have gained significant weight (muscle) in the last 11 months. Upperman really will lean on Colton in the playoff run. They certainly aspire to win the Class AAA State Championship again.</p>
