Region 9: 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 Ninth Region:    [player_tooltip player_id='2828341' first='Braeden' last='Myrick'] ranks among the top 25 shooters in the state, averaging 3.1 threes per game while shooting an impressive 46.1% (94-for-204). Myrick is an elite perimeter scorer who can hurt defenses in multiple ways but excels as a catch-and-shoot threat with a quick release. He heats up quickly and can score from the top of the key, wings, or corners, even knocking down contested shots. His frame makes him even harder to defend from deep. Braeden set a season high with seven threes against St. Henry in December.     [player_tooltip player_id='2208708' first='Finn' last='Louden'] ranks among the top 50 shooters in the state, averaging 2.8 threes per game while shooting 45.3% (58-for-128). Louden has limitless range and can pull up off the dribble using his quick, impressive handles or catch and shoot. He can make tough shots without needing much space and isn't afraid to take big shots in key moments. One of his standout performances came against Highlands on Feb. 10, when he drilled eight three-pointers.     [player_tooltip player_id='1575699' first='Athens' last='McGillis'] averages 2.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 40.4% from deep (69-for-171) this season. McGillis has deep range and the confidence to take, and make, difficult shots. He uses his handles, speed, and agility to create space, but is just as dangerous in catch-and-shoot situations. He's capable of knocking down tough, off-balance threes and isn't afraid of the moment, consistently stepping up to hit big shots in crucial, momentum-swinging situations.     [player_tooltip player_id='2964788' first='Dylan' last='Topmiller'] ranks among the top 30 shooters in the state, averaging exactly three three-pointers per game while shooting 41.4% (91-for-220) from deep. On Feb. 12 against Newport Central Catholic, Topmiller made eight threes, tying for the second-most in a game in school history. He also set the school record for most threes in a single season. Dylan can create his own shot or knock down threes off the catch, making him a versatile threat from long range.     [player_tooltip player_id='3476085' first='Luke' last='Arlinghaus'] is shooting 38.4% from deep this season, connecting on 63 of 164 attempts and averaging 2.1 threes per game. His season high came against Montgomery County on Dec. 22, when he drained eight three-pointers. Arlinghaus moves well without the ball to create space and uses his handles effectively, but even when tightly defended, he can still knock down contested shots.     [player_tooltip player_id='3224534' first='Jaylen' last='Stone'] finished the year 74-for-224 from three-point range, averaging 2.5 made threes per game. Stone did a strong job of creating his own opportunities by moving well without the ball and using his athleticism to his advantage. He consistently knocked down contested shots from deep and thrived in catch-and-shoot situations, particularly from the wings and corners. In January alone, he had multiple four three-pointer games, including outings against Heritage (Florence), Scott, and Bellevue.     Gage Grider finished the season shooting 43.8% from three-point range, going 77-for-176 while averaging 2.6 made threes per game. He proved to be a major threat from deep, highlighted by a 7-for-8 performance from beyond the arc in a win over Bellevue on Jan. 31. Grider moves well without the ball, actively calls for it, and keeps his hands ready, thriving in catch-and-shoot situations. Even when closely defended, he's able to get his shot off quickly and still convert at a high rate.
