With a dynamic playmaker in <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/04/grit-region-kick-off-15u-all-tourney-team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cole </a>and a skilled post-player in Applegate, there were lots of open shots for Slayton. When he gets his feet, shoulders, and hips in rhythm, you can bet on it. His ability to consistently knock down the open shots propelled his squad to a weekend full of wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sam Bobo | 6'0'' Forward | The Movement - Platinum | Tullahoma (Tennessee)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bobo likes to float from the baseline to the wing. As a taller wing player, he can use his size and length to make himself available in tighter coverage. Although he prefers to dribble to his right, he showcased a couple shot-fake, and dribble left that we love to see from shooters. Keep your defenders off-balance and create space for the shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daulton Combs | 6'2” Forward | Vision 2026 Elite | Hazard (Kentucky)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Combs plays strong and uses his physicality when he needs to. But, he has a silky smooth stroke from the perimeter. When Combs shot the ball in rhythm, the ball rarely touched the rim. Another layer to Combs' game is when he gets in the paint area, he can use his size to fade away and still splash in jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561091' first='Jadon' last='Miller']</strong> | 5'11” Wing | Indiana Ambition 2026 | Vincennes (Indiana)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller used his elusiveness to find gaps in the defense for his shots. Miller is another skilled guard that plays like a wing with his frame. One piece to Miller's game this weekend that we saw was his high IQ to drift to the wings to create space. A Lot of players watch the ball penetrate the middle and then begin to move. Not Miller. He would recognize the play in advance and make himself available for the pass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1830520' first='Drake' last='Goers']</strong> | 5'6” Guard | TN BRIGADE 2026 | Eagleville (Tennessee)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goers started the weekend hot but had trouble staying consistent. Nevertheless, his shot rotation and form were a thing of beauty. Although he didn't have huge numbers this weekend, all good shooters keep the same motto: “Shooters Shoot!” </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561118' first='Doron' last='Harris']</strong> | 5'11” Guard | Team F.E.E.D. Sports Inc. 2026 | Lawrence Central (Indiana)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris was an all-around scorer this weekend but particularly special from beyond the arc. Harris showcased he can be a 3-level scorer. His ability to create space off the bounce and then ease up for the soft touch around the paint was impeccable. The guard play for Team F.E.E.D. was a thing of beauty all weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Make sure you are following @PrepHoopsTN, @PrepHoopsMO, @PrepHoopsIL, @PrepHoopsOH, @PrepHoopsIN &amp; @PrepHoopsKY on Twitter for weekly top games and weekend top performers!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
