<p>District 2 MVP - <a href="https://x.com/JaydenBarton_">@JaydenBarton_</a> was named District MVP. Earlier this week he was named Mr. Basketball Finalist. This was Jayden's one and only year playing 2A basketball and he started out with Sevier County. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2136958' first='Jayden' last='Barton']</strong> came to GP at just the right time. They just retired the jersey of the program's greatest player ever...Ty Glasper. There was a desperate need for a scoring star and Jayden is that.</p>
