Top Dogs
Garry Clark 6’7″ Cardinal Ritter (’20): The talented combo forward scored 39 points in his team’s semifinal loss to the Lakers. Clark was able to get buckets from all three levels as he displayed a smooth post game, a nice mid-range jumper off the catch and 3-point shooting off the pick and pop. He can also put the ball on the floor and score on some tough baskets at the rim.
J.J. Schwepker 6’5″ Fort Zumwalt South (’20): The veteran sharpshooter took home Most Valuable Player honors as he scored 25 points in the semifinals and a game-high 34 points in the championship game, including eight 3-pointers. Not only was he knocking down 3-pointers off the catch, he was hitting shots off the dribble and moving without the ball and scoring on nice cuts to the basket.
Jordan Nesbitt 6’6″ St. Louis Christian (’20): The Division I prospect scored 16 points in the semifinal victory over the Nets while displaying his all-around game. He is a dangerous bucket-getter, but he displayed his ability to facilitate in this game as he set up teammates for scoring opportunities with his ball handling and passing. He played a very unselfish game in helping his team to the championship.
Jaylen Boyd 6’1″ Ladue (’20): The physical point guard scored a team high 25 points in his team’s double-overtime victory in the semifinals. He’s virtually unstoppable when he is able to get downhill to the basket, especially when he gets to his dominant left hand. His strength enables him to play through the contact and finish with buckets and three-point plays.
Brandon Ellington 6’6″ Cardinal Ritter (’20): The bouncy power forward scored 32 points in the semifinals and easily had the most dunks during the afternoon’s action. He had the assortment of tip dunks, transition dunks and dunks in traffic. His high motor and energy at both ends of the floorwas a key as he led his team from a 21-point deficit in the second half to a narrow double-overtime loss.
