Their season's first and only loss crushed them to their core. Camden played his heart out in their March 20th State Semifinal loss to Humboldt's Vikings. Cole shoved in 38.7% of the team's points that March day. A team can't ask for more than 24 points, four rebounds, four steals in 25 game minutes. Alas, Eagleville fell 65-62.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">#7 [player_tooltip player_id='1549096' first='MJ' last='Hayes'] (Memphis Business Academy)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No high school player endured a more gigantic fall from grace in the history of PrepHoops.com/Tennessee than former #1 overall <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1549096' first='MJ' last='Hayes']</strong>.
