Cooper’s 47
Cooper Haynes Cooper Haynes 6'3" | SG Briarcrest Christian | 2024 State TN scored 47 points Sunday. “ Jett Montgomery Jett Montgomery 6'1" | PG Independence | 2024 State TN had 19 points and hit the game-winning layup with about two seconds left,” said Coach Aaron Morrison. “It was unbelievable. I mean, the final score was 90-88 and he made 7 3’s. A lot were contested, tough shots. If he got it off, then it was probably going in that game. It was honestly one of the best offensive performances I have ever seen in AAU.”
Furman, Belmont, Liberty, WKU evaluated Cooper during multiple games.

Chris Alford scored 7 points with two made 2’s and one made three-pointer. Strong arms.
Ashton Munson Ashton Munson 6'1" | PG Brainerd | 2024 State TN hit five three-pointers in the game. Wonderful passer. Wonderful patience. Much improved outside shooter. Good natural and earned strength.
Kyler Akin Kyler Akin 6'0" | SG Rhea County | 2024 State TN was very good. He scored (2 3’s, 7 2’s) 20 points with a calmness. A silkiness. For the last few years Rhea County has been pretty impotent in the regular season. Kyler is changing that. The gifted scorer plays with tempo and elegance. On-ball defense is probably the area he must address before college.
Bryce Dupre Bryce Dupre 6'3" | SG Rhea County | 2024 State TN is best as a catch-and-shoot guy. Good heft, but a little stiff long-term. Dupre is maybe a faceup four at the NAIA level? Can hit the outside shot given time and he is reliable at the free throw line. It would be nice if he earned his way there more often. Bryce scored 10 points (2 3’s).
