Platt (Webb Bell Buckle)</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px">Bizarre leaping ability.  Brave in the air.  Contorts his body and holds the basketball longer than most, forcing desperate defenders to react with a foul to his body.</p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="color: #ff6600;font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/joe-anderson/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/joe-anderson/">Joe Anderson</a></a> (Maryville)</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px">Tricky handle.
