Darius Keifer is back on the court and already making waves around the state.

He sports a complete game and a tough mentality to match it making him one of the toughest competitors in the state. Be on the lookout for this big-time player on the hardwood.     Wilson took the summer league to remind those around the state that he is a top prospect in the state. He is a long wing with great basketball instincts and skills to match. He is a smart player with the ability to knock down the long ball. He is a natural scorer that is not even scratching the surface on his game. Look for Wilson to lead Rayville this upcoming season.     Williams is playing big and looks to be back to his freshman ways in controlling the boards. Wossman will lean on him this season to do a lot of work in the paint, and he looks ready to accept the challenge. He is an agile post with a soft touch on either side of the goal. Wossman will spread out their offense this season, and Williams is poised to put up impressive numbers.     Nard returns as PG1, but he is not alone. The Evangel guard lineup is impressive, and Nard looks to lead the group with his tough style of play and pinpoint passing abilities. His natural tendency is to facilitate, but when he is in scoring mode that is when you can see all the young guard can do on the court. Evangel is going to be a sleeper team because they lack the size normally associated with 5A programs, but Nard locks in on the intangibles to lead a group that could shock any team. Coaches looking for a high IQ guard need to check Nard and his game.
