3/16/26: Sub-state appearance. Dillard scored 13.1 points per game along with 8.0 rebounds per and 1.3 steals per in just his sophomore year. Dillard sparkled in his first TSSAA season, earning All-District honors. Dillard averaged a double-double in the successful Regional Tournament

As a freshman across the border in Ft. Campbell, Dillard averaged 15.1 ppg with a staggering 9.9 rpg, and 2.5 blocks per game. He recorded 10 double-doubles.

The hope is that, with physical development, Israel Dillard Israel Dillard 6'4" | SF/CG Rossview | 2028 State TN can blossom into a shooting guard. Right now he is a high school 3/4.

9/28/25: Israel is not a point guard yet, but he did demonstrate an ability to spearhead a fastbreak against shorter defenders. Outside shooting was spotty. Dillard scored unabated in the final minutes of a one-point victory. Prideful. Israel rebounded consistently. He did not show full leaps to catch most, which is typical. When your opposing rebounders are 5-6″ shorter, the tendency is to jump just enough. Can he win rebounding battles against 6-foot-6 players? There was no need to demonstrate this ability at the Expo because the competition lacked size mostly. Still, his rebounding prowess requires that he win tougher battles once the season starts in 4A.

Israel made his impact as both a creator and a scorer. He attacked off the dribble, found his spots, and scored from the perimeter and around the rim. Whether initiating offense or operating off the catch, he adjusted seamlessly to his team’s needs and delivered consistently.
