Peaking at the Right Time: West Morgan’s State Title Blueprint

West Morgan Rebels   Class 4A Area 13     Head Coach: Bobby Meyer     Record As of Feb. 2, 2026: 20-6 (According to maxpreps.com)   IG: @westmorganhoops   Key Players:   [player_tooltip player_id='2844364' first='Landon' last='Henderson'] (6'0/PG/'27/West Morgan)   IG: landon.h09   X: @LandonH83076434   Landon is the engine that makes West Morgan go. He is a confident, assertive lead guard, who combines scoring punch, floor leadership, and high-level playmaking into one complete package. He is averaging 23 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, and he impacts the game in every column while setting the tone emotionally and competitively. He is at his best attacking downhill, where his change of pace and toughness allow him to get to his spots, but he is just as dangerous when creating for others. He reads the floor well, understands timing, and consistently makes the right play under pressure. When the game tightens, the ball belongs in his hands, and he embraces that responsibility.   [player_tooltip player_id='2224464' first='Keelan' last='Murphy'] (6'2/CG/'26/West Morgan)   IG: Keelan5._   X: @Keelan5_   Keelan brings a blue-collar edge to the backcourt. He is a physical, competitive guard, who impacts winning with scoring, rebounding, and toughness on both ends. He is averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game, and he plays bigger than his size and never shies away from contact. Keelan thrives in transition and on broken plays, where his motor and instincts shine. He rebounds his position exceptionally well, defends with intensity, and consistently makes momentum-changing plays.   Brendon Bradford (6'6/Wing/'27/West Morgan)   IG: bbrendon17   X: @BradfordBr88230   Brendon is the ultimate mismatch piece. At 6'6 with length and skill, he forces opponents into tough decisions. He can score inside and out, stretch defenses with his perimeter ability, and punish smaller defenders in the paint. What makes him especially valuable is his versatility. He fits seamlessly into West Morgan's fast-paced system, runs the floor well, and provides lineup flexibility on both ends. As his consistency continues to rise, his ceiling as a two-way wing makes him a matchup problem every night.   Key Role Players to Watch:   Championship teams are built on more than stars, and West Morgan knows it. Colby Jones, Tay McDaniel, and Koby Suggs are three vital pieces who do the little things that don't always show up in the box score. Their energy, defensive intensity, and willingness to embrace their roles allow the Rebels to maintain pace and pressure regardless of who is on the floor. When this trio is locked in, West Morgan's depth becomes a major advantage.   What Will It Take for The Rebels To Win State?   The formula is clear—and dangerous. West Morgan lives by its FAST32 philosophy: Shoot it. Drive it. Or sit the bench.   They are an uptempo, high-pressure team committed to playing full-court defense and fast-paced offense for all 32 minutes. To reach the ultimate goal, it comes down to peaking at the right time and mastering the details that separate contenders from champions:   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li class="has-medium-font-size">Defend with discipline</li>   <li class="has-medium-font-size">Rebound with purpose</li>   <li class="has-medium-font-size">Attack relentlessly</li> </ul>   The belief inside the program is strong and for good reason. This group feels its best basketball is still ahead. If the Rebels stay connected, focused, and sharp when it matters most, they have all the pieces to make a serious run at a state title.   #TerryTalks…My Thoughts On West Morgan Rebels:   West Morgan is not a team you want to see when the lights are brightest. The Rebels are built on speed, toughness, and relentless pressure, and they play every possession with urgency. Their identity is simple but unforgiving: defend for 94 feet, attack in transition, and force opponents to survive at their pace for all 32 minutes. Which few have proven they can. At the center of that identity is a core of talented playmakers, physical competitors, and versatile wings who understand their roles and thrive in chaos.
