Having two good guards help relieve pressure from a team. Especially when they are experienced guards. We will continue to survey the landscape of back court tandems in the city of Las Vegas. Next up is Foothill High and Clark High school.
4A Division: Foothill High (23-10)-(7-3 in League) Without question this is the best back court in their league. Marvin Coleman and Jace Roquemore really complement one another’s game. Both of these young men play both ends of the court, and make their defenders work. Everything revolves around these two young men. If this program is going to have success these two young men will need to play efficient basketball. Executing their nightly game plan will be keys to their success.
Here’s a breakdown of each player:
(2018) Marvin Coleman is a 6’3″ point guard that is the heart and soul to his team. He plays the game like it’s the last play in regulation. Getting in the lane and absorbing contact is no problem for this young man. For his size he is very strong, and has the ability to move his feet very well. Last season he average 13.9 ppg 8.0 rpg and 5.2 ast a game. Over the summer he added even more experience to his game. By competing on the EYBL circuit with the Las Vegas Prospects.

(2019) Jace Roquemore is a 6’5″ shooting guard that has the ability to shoot over his defenders. This young man game has improved a lot. He’s a competitor and he love to compete. Much more will be expected this season from him, if they are going to make a deep run in the playoffs. Last season he average 9.0 ppg 3.9 rpg 2.1 ast a game. His team will need much more scoring from him. This young man can flat out shoot the ball. He comes in as the number 6 player in the C/O 2019 on Prep Hoops Nevada’s List.
4A Division: Clark High (27-5)- (11-1 in League) The State final runner-up is a very good program. Guard play is not a problem for this team they have a trio of guards that can play multiple positions. The goal for this program is getting back to State and taking care of some unfinished business. There are many D1 prospects on this team, and they don’t lack experience. It is almost unfair when you think of their new added addition to the program. 6’6 point guard Greg Foster Jr. He is the son of former NBA player Greg Foster Sr.
Here’s a breakdown of each player:
(2018) James Bridges is a 6’5″ shooting guard that has the deep range. This young man’s key attribute is his basketball IQ and his decision-making. He is a leader by Nature and it shows when he’s on the court. He makes good decisions in transition. Last season he average 12.0 ppg 3.3 rpg 2.9 ast a game. He comes in as the number 9 player in the C/O 2018 on Prep Hoops Nevada’s List.
(2018) Trey Woodbruy is a 6’4″ shooting guard that also played some point guard last year. This young man is one of the toughest player’s in the city. Whatever is ask of him I believe he will do. To help his team win. He is very good in getting his shoot out in transition. At 6’4″ he rebounds very good. Scoring from all 3 level is not a problem for this player.
