Top Siblings Making Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>High school basketball is full of family relations, and there's no shortage of such in Kentucky. Let's take a look at some of the top sibling performers from regions 5-8.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 5:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3272017"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b332884fdad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyson has garnered over 1,300 PTS and nearly 1,000 REB in his career – an insane level of production that deserves to be praised. He was one of the most valuable players this season for a really good Caverna team. He finished around the rim at an elite rate as evident by his 66% field goal percentage on 250+ attempts. His scrappy off-ball defense and ability to jump passing lanes for fast break opportunities also came in clutch. The fact that basketball is the second sport for the Kentucky State football commit further speaks to his outstanding career on the hardwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kenyon Martin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Caverna","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b332884fe62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Martin twins have quietly been the most dominating sibling duo in Kentucky for years. Kenyon has amassed over 800 PTS and 600 REB throughout his career in his own right. Also a KY State football commit, he proved to be a reliable threat from long distance on the hardwood over the course of the season. He also ended his senior campaign as the Colonel's most consistent free throw shooter. His shooting attributes didn't take away from his ability to physically dominate competition as a two-way contributor in a similar fashion to his brother.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Regions 6 and 7:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2429605"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c98c8520701"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan put the state on notice this season about just how good he can be. Although only a sophomore, he oozes D1 potential and has already caught the attention of several college programs. He plays with a contagious level of energy that seemed easy for his teammates to reciprocate. Already operating at an elite level above the rim and as a rim protector, Jordan flashed an ability to knock down shots from 15ft and beyond. Once he puts it altogether, he'll be one of the best prospects to come out of Kentucky's loaded 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2829981"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c9be3c94bd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It might be too early to speak to Prince's potential, but like his big brother [player_tooltip player_id='2429605' first='Jordan' last='Jackson'], Prince has shown flashes of greatness. He stepped into a big role for DuBois this season and exceeded expectations given that he's yet to enroll in high school. Up to at least 6'6" now, Prince has the length necessary to control the boards and protect the rim. His advanced level of ball handling, however, equipped with a deceiving level of shiftiness, is what sets his game apart. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2438889"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c98c85207bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamari has emerged as one of the state's best point guards over the years, and rightfully so. He operates at an efficient pace with the ball in his hands and consistently creates opportunities for himself and his teammates. In large part, his production can be credited to his ability to get into the lane at will and knock down shots in the midrange if need be. He served as the leading scorer and facilitator for the Bulldogs this past season, putting up over 17 PPG. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532063"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c98c8520807"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamarion, known by many as "Red," played a valuable role for a good Fairdale squad during his sophomore campaign. With his brother commanding the ship, Red played off the ball more often than not and proved to be reliable when knocking down shots from distance. He has shown potential to be a legit threat as a facilitator and a crafty playmaker. His production should increase and he plays a more significant role moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region 8:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3550924"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c98c8520850"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chris served as one of four double-digit scorers for the Bears' this season en route to an 8th Region tournament championship appearance. He also controlled the boards, pulling in over 6 RPG. Although a respectable shooter from distance, Chris did most of his damage around the rim via crafty finishing and creating second-chance opportunities. It seemed he was in the right place at the right time more often than not, often coming up with 50-50 balls as a testament to a heightened level effort and hustle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3550925"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c98c8520899"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ben represented the other half of the Armstrong duo for Bears basketball and did so in a strong fashion. He was one of several double-digit scorers for the program in addition to securing almost 5 RPG. Like his brother, Ben shot over 50% from the field throughout the course of the season but he also proved to be a legit 3PT threat down the stretch. His toughness combined with his ability to stretch the floor helped lead Spencer County to the 8th Region tournament championship this past season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
