Top Underclassmen at the Arvest Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri took a look at championship day at the Arvest Classic via the stream at Springfield Parkview. Kickapoo defeated Helias for the championship. Hillcrest defeated Lee's Summit West in the third place game. Here is a look at the top underclassmen that we watched in those two games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2334926' first='Kyrese' last='Simpson'] (Hillcrest): The 5'11 2027 point guard had a tremendous tournament, which included a 41-point performance. He's has speed and quickness and he has all the shots in his arsenal. His shooting range is deep which opens up the floor for him to create off the bounce from all three levels. He is very exciting to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528006' first='Beau' last='Blanton'] (Helias): The 6'3 2027 small forward scored 14 points against Kickapoo in the finals. He's a good athlete who slashes in the lane effectively and moves well without the ball with his cutting. He's also hit a pair of 3-pointers. He showed a strong second and third effort on the offensive boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2701112' first='Jaevyn' last='Jones'] (Hillcrest): A 6'7” 2027 forward who is really starting to emerge as an impact player at both ends of the court. He was throwing down dunks, attacking on the drive and hitting 3-pointers. He was also blocking shots on the defensive end. He was very dynamic to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>William Winn (Kickapoo): A 6'4 2027 forward who provided a big spark off the bench in the Chiefs victory in the championship game. He scored 11 points while displaying his dynamic athleticism, which included two dunks. He was running the court well and he used his length to block shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528009' first='Ross' last='Buffington'] (Helias): A 6'4 2027 shooting guard who has good athleticism and positional size. I like how he was able to keep defenders on his hip when he's advancing into the lane. His pull up jumper in the mid range area was very effective and he also hit an open 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2898246' first='Kaivon' last='Alexander'] (Hillcrest): The 6'4 2029 guard is a talented youngster with a bright future. He's long and lanky and very athletic. He scored on a nice run out out then he made consecutive 3-pointers, one off the catch and one off the step back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2920326' first='Kadence' last='McClure'] (Lee's Summit West): A 6'3 2028 forward who is very smooth and who plays under control. He handles the ball well and he dropped several nice dimes off the dribble. He scored on some nice drives where he finished off the glass. He has good fundamentals and he never seemed to be rushed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
