<p>Johnson and the Wampus Cats got off to an impressive start against Rogers Heritage. Johnson has always done a great job of distributing the basketball. Against, the War Eagles this week, he broke opposing defenders down and struck for 25 points and five assists. Meanwhile, he went 6 of 9 from the field and is setting the stage for a big season with the Wampus Cats this season.</p>

<p>The Little Rock Central point guard looks to be in mid-season form to start the season. Aleem filled up the stat sheet from across the board. Aleem opened the season up with an 18 point, three rebound, and two assist performance. Little Rock Central has the potential for a big season and I look for Aleem to have a strong season for the Tigers. He is a player to watch out for this season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2450930' first='Courtlon' last='Hobbs'] caught our attention a season ago and has not slowed down one bit this season. Hobbs handles the ball well for Lonoke. He has no problem of breaking down an opposing defender. In the win over Bradford, the Lonoke guard exploded for 34 points on the night. Hobbs is off to another great start to the season and is a player to watch out for this season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2389941' first='Kellen' last='Cash'] will be handling the point guard spot for the Tigers this season. Cash handles the ball well and does a great job of distributing the ball. The Prairie Grove prospect struck to open the season for 25 points and five assists on the night for the Tigers. He is a prospect to watch out for throughout the high school basketball season this season.</p>
