Region 7: Standout Seasons from the Perimeter

No matter the position, role, or volume of three-point attempts, this isn't a list limited to pure shooters. Instead, it highlights players who consistently pose a threat from behind the arc and are putting together strong seasons shooting it from deep. For some, the three-point shot is a primary weapon; for others, it's a second or third option within the flow of the offense. Either way, their production from downtown has made an impact. Here's a look at some of the most impressive perimeter seasons in the Seventh Region:    [player_tooltip player_id='1359140' first='Cole' last='Edelen'] is one of the top shooters in the state, ranking 11th in three-pointers made per game at 3.5. In 17 games this season, he's 60-for-152 from deep (39.5%). Edelen has the ability to heat up quickly, not just generating attempts but converting them in bunches. He has a strong feel for the game, uses screens effectively, and is capable of knocking down tough, contested shots. With his overall scoring ability, he's also highly effective in catch-and-shoot situations.     Luke Hamilton finished the season 50-for-165 from three-point range, averaging 2.1 made threes per game. He delivered one of the most explosive performances of the year against River City Jags (New Albany, Ind.), scoring 50 points with six triples. On Jan. 23 against Holy Cross (Louisville), Hamilton added 33 points and four threes. Earlier in the season, he shot 5-for-10 from deep against Whitefield Academy and before that he went going 9-for-14 from beyond the arc against Christian Educational Consortium.     [player_tooltip player_id='2965783' first='Dario' last='Harper'] hasn't taken as many attempts as others on this list, with 99 on the season, but he's made the most of them, knocking down 51 for an efficient 51.5% while averaging 1.9 threes per game. That ability and efficiency were on display Feb. 17 against Seneca, when Harper went 4-for-5 from deep. In January, he also shot 4-for-7 from beyond the arc against both Fern Creek and Ballard. Harper moves well without the ball, attacking passes instead of waiting on them, and pairs that with a quick release.     [player_tooltip player_id='2439209' first='Jordan' last='Mitchell'] is 42-for-106 from three-point range this season (39.6%), averaging 2.1 makes per game. He can score from deep in a variety of ways, catch-and-shoot or pull-up, whether in the halfcourt offense or in transition. Mitchell does a great job of getting his feet set quickly and makes it difficult for defenders to affect his release. He can knock down contested threes, create space when needed, and consistently hit tough shots even when the look isn't perfect.     [player_tooltip player_id='1558734' first='Xavier' last='Cosby'] is shooting 39% from three-point range this season, connecting on 57 of his 146 attempts while averaging 2.4 makes per game. He excels in catch-and-shoot situations and displays solid mechanics. With good size and a strong frame, Cosby is a difficult matchup on the perimeter. He has deep range and is comfortable shooting from anywhere around the arc, including the ability to knock down contested shots.     [player_tooltip player_id='2459420' first='Qyntin' last='Woods'] is averaging 2.7 three-pointers per game while shooting 40.9% from deep (67-for-164) this season. He has a knack for hitting shots in big moments and can create his own looks just as comfortably as he can score in catch-and-shoot situations. No matter the attempt, Woods shoots with confidence. It doesn't take much for him to heat up, and once he does, he can knock down threes in bunches. In a key win over Jeffersontown, he went 5-for-8 from beyond the arc, and earlier in the season against Manual, he connected on 7-of-10 from long range.     [player_tooltip player_id='3515276' first='Jayden' last='Johnson'] returned to Trinity (Louisville) and made his first start back on Jan. 30. Since then, he has climbed into the top 30 in the state in three-pointers per game at 3.1. Through 14 games, Johnson is 43-for-106 from deep, shooting 40.6%. A big shooter who thrives from the wing, he has a fast release and can score in multiple ways, off the catch or off the dribble, all with a smooth, confident motion.
