The 6’4 Needles shooting guard was the teams second leading scorer this past season. His top scoring output came against Mohave Accelerated where he put up 31 points and he also had a 28 point game against Lake Mead Christian Academy. Russell’s top offensive skills are likely shooting and scoring in transition. When he’s going up for a lay-up not many guys can jump with him. His top defensive skills are swatting shots, and coming up with steals.

Darrell Russell Darrell Russell 6'1" | SG Needles | 2026 State NV is an extremely great defender with a ton of athleticism. The 6’1” guard almost knows exactly what the opposing offense is going to do with the ball on most plays. His ability to read the next pass is what makes him an excellent on/off-ball defender. On offense, he has the confidence to score by himself on fast breaks or make the pass to an open teammate.

Needles is a 2A favorite, eyeing a repeat title. The Russell’s are a big reason why. Look for Darrell to contribute in the paint and on the boards. As the Mustangs advance come playoff time, he’ll be a name to Remember.

Russell is a player that got on the radar during the State tournament. He is a Glue Guy type that helps his team on the backboard, the defensive end and with interior scoring. It may only be a short lived stint over the top 100 as he comes in right at the 101 mark.
