<ol> <li style="text-align: left"><span class="s1">Its shaping up to be an exciting season in the cvc. I've had the chance to watch some of the cvc teams in summertime action and here's my early preview of how these teams look for this upcoming winter. </span></li> </ol> [caption id="attachment_1511577" align="alignleft" width="300"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image1-4-rotated-crop-2810x1845-1657849198.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-1511577 size-medium" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image1-4-rotated-crop-2810x1845-1657849198-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197"></a> Chris Wilson-Trenton[/caption] <p class="p2"><span class="s1">TCHS :</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Trenton went 19-10 in 2021-22 and made it to the Mercer County Tournament Final as well as the Central Jersey Group 4 Final as a 7 seed The Tornados are looking to build on last season returning multiple starters from last year's team including 1st Team All CVC Guards<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>[player_tooltip player_id="1150536" first="Davontay" last="Hutson"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1150281" first="Antwan" last="Bridgett"]. Senior Guard [player_tooltip player_id="1501446" first="Brazil" last="Fields"] and Forward Chris Wilson are both looking to have a breakout year showing improvements from last year in Summer League games at Moody Park. Trenton is definitely a team to watch this year after last years late-season run who knows what could happen this year.</span></p> [caption id="attachment_1511606" align="alignleft" width="300"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image0-7-rotated-crop-2577x1692-1657850142.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-1511606 size-medium" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image0-7-rotated-crop-2577x1692-1657850142-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197"></a> <br>[player_tooltip player_id="1150536" first="Davontay" last="Hutson"]-Trenton[/caption] Nottingham: [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="300"]<img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/40C2F3AC-3975-4A53-97F9-8D8C3F6D5428-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1657969920-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197"> Jordan Raba-Nottingham[/caption] <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Last year the Northstars were a very young team featuring only 2 seniors on the roster This winter they will be coming into the season with much more experience. Senior Guard JP Dickerson along with Junior Guards Jordan Raba and [player_tooltip player_id='2107706' first='Donte' last='Alexander'] make up a solid scoring attack for the stars. Raba and Alexander are both knock-down shooters from the three and Dickerson is a slasher that can finish at the rim through contact I think Nottingham will be a tough team to beat this year.</span></p> [caption id="attachment_1511588" align="aligncenter" width="300"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image3-2-1-rotated-crop-2837x1863-1657849667.jpeg"><img class="wp-image-1511588 size-medium" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/image3-2-1-rotated-crop-2837x1863-1657849667-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197"></a> [player_tooltip player_id='2107706' first='Donte' last='Alexander']-Nottingham[/caption] <span style="font-size: 1rem">Ewing:</span> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">The Blue Devils are a team that is dangerous because they can score in the half court, in transition, from the 3, and they play defense. After going 14-9 last season and making it to the Central Jersey Group 4 Semifinal and losing I think these guys have something to prove.The Senior trio of Guards Darnelle Forrest, Naire Preston, and Kenneth Rankin will be big for the blue devils this year. These guys can score from anywhere on the court and they also force opposing offenses into turnovers which opens up the game for teammates to get easy buckets in transition.</span></p> Hamilton West: The Hornets graduated multiple seniors from last years team but they will seem like they haven't missed a beat come December. Junior Guard Mekhi Lott can really fill it up from the three,knocking down 32 treys last season as well as defending on a high level. The pair of 6'4 &nbsp;Forwards Tyler Barber and Ben Boufford will be big for the Hornets on the Boards and on defense with their length they both also have the ability to hit shots from beyond the arc. Also West has two transfers looking to come in and make an immediate impact for the Hornets.
