WVCAA Conference: Top Players for 2021-2022

<p>After a Covid racked season, the West Virginia Christian AA conference is expected to return to normal this season.  This means most teams will have a more full schedule and scouts will have more access to the games.  Here is the very early list of the top players in the conference for the upcoming season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="977575" first="Josiah" last="Davis"] (2022) | 6-1 PG | Teays Valley Christian School</p> <p>Already a D1 commit, this player has incredible speed and athleticism enabling him to get to the basket with ease.  Davis is a great defender with a natural skill at taking the ball away from opponents and getting out on the break.  He still needs to develop a consistent jump shot with only 5 made threes all of last year and he shot only 62% from the free-throw line. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="977590" first="Kaden" last="Smallwood"] 2022 | 6-0 PG | Greater Beckley Christian</p> <p>A solid guard who averaged over 16 PPG last year, a little undersized, and needs to show more consistency in his senior season.  He did have a very strong finish to the season so look for him to build off of that heading into this year.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="977579" first="Jordan" last="McInnis"] 2022 | 6-9 C | Greater Beckley Christian</p> <p>When playing against smaller teams this big man dominated scoring over 16 PPG last year.  However, he had 3 games (out of 16) in which he scored less than 10 points while being the biggest on the floor.  McInnis is a player to watch this year if he improves his overall game as he is the only big man in the conference with college-level size for the position.  </p> <p>Ben Coleman 2022 | 6-5 SG | Calvary Baptist Academy </p> <p>An incredible shooter and well-rounded scorer, last year he shot over 50-40-80 for the season and scored nearly 16 PPG.  On a lesser team, his PPG would be much higher as he had 4 teammates who averaged 11 PPG last year and he only attempted 10.75 shots per game.  Look for him to improve his defense this year against tougher opponents as Calvary looks to 3-peat as Conference champions.  </p> <p>Stevie Hicks 2023 | 6-0 G | Calvary Baptist Academy</p> <p>Ben Coleman's running mate in back-to-back conference championships, this guard is a little shorter but has great strength when driving to the hole.  While not quite the shooter his teammate is, Hicks still managed to shoot 33% from three and averaged 14.6 PPG.  A couple of his teammates graduate this year, so next season he is likely to have a bigger role and be one of the top 3 players in the conference.   </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
