DeMarco Davis DeMarco Davis 6’0″ | CG Lovejoy | 2024 State GA was that for Coach Willie Reese, refusing to let Lovejoy lose as they upended No. 9 Woodward Academy to clinch a spot in the region finals with a 52-48 victory. Davis made all the plays throughout the game. Demarco plays extremely hard. He’s a physical guard strapped with muscle. He mixes it up inside, a very good rebounder with springy legs. Offensively he attacks on the perimeter with an accurate jump shot. He nailed four threes and scored from the mid-range on one-dribble pull-ups. Davis plays with balance, not letting defenders get up under him. Demarco tallied 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He’s a fun player to watch.
Peters was born in the weight room, a chiseled athlete. He carried Woodward Academy in the second half with 15 of his game-high 18 points. He started to cook off the dribble, getting to his spots in the mid-range. When he wanted to get to the rim he did, converting tough finishes and absorbing contact for And-1s. Brandon went 5-5 from the line. Peters is real three-level scorer that can take over games when he hunts his offense.
The human bowling ball is all downhill. If you guard Akins, expect to be put in the rim numerous times and to need a long ice bath afterwards. The lefty is as physical as they come in the backcourt. When he puts his head down, he bullies his way to the hoop. He’s got crafty finishes with English on his spin. Akins posted 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in a 56-40 breeze past Rockdale.
London Wingfield
London Wingfield
The little junior provided a big spark when Jonesboro went to their bench in the second quarter. London helped turn an 11-7 lead after one period into a 31-16 halftime advantage by hitting a pair of threes and scoring off a steal. Outside shooting will be a must if Jonesboro wants to take a deep run in state, making Wingfield a potentially crucial element.
You can always rely on effort from Chase Hill Chase Hill 6’2″ | SG Rockdale County | 2023 State GA . He’s a notorious stat sheet stuffer that mixes in scoring with a strong floor game. He had to work hard for every bucket he got against Jonesboro, getting to the rack and finishing in transition off turnovers. Chase tallied 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block.
