[program_tooltip program_id='2413042' first='KST' last='Academy'] is playing in the NXT Pro Puma Circuit. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1892485' first='Roman' last='Cooley']</strong> is a left-handed wing player who is coming off a very good season at Greenville HS. Cooley does his best work slashing to the cup or finishing around the cup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299729' first='Von' last='Burton']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2305858' first='Quan' last='Burton']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766181' first='Jaleel' last='McGee']</strong> all won a Class 3A State Championship this past March with the Patriots. This three-guard trio plays very well together on the floor and really understands where each other is at all times. McGee has really stepped up his game in the past few months and certainly will be a Stock-Riser down the road. Jaleel is stocky guard who can finish at the basket through contact and with his good body control. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1524086' first='Tristyn' last='Carrington']</strong> really lacks a true position on the floor at times. Carrington seems to be best when he's in the game and just doing what he feels comfortable doing. Tristyn has a thick frame to get downhill and overpower defenders in his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2406431,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/eZy-Watermark_08-04-2024_04-45-24-1290PM.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/eZy-Watermark_08-04-2024_04-45-24-1290PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2406431" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1692195' first='Markell' last='Hollis']</strong> will entertain a postgraduate year at Flight 22 Academy in Wilmington, NC this coming fall. Hollis can score the ball from all 3 levels on the floor at times. Markell does a nice job of finding ways to score the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kam'Ron Williams</strong> attended Veritas Academy in California this past season.
