Spears really came on in the final stretch of the season and forced head coach Nick Myles’ hand to insert him in the starting lineup. It really all stemmed with this ability to shine in the little things that impacted winning. St. Frances used their stable of guards starting with TJ Jones TJ Jones 6'4" | SF Severn | 2027 State MD and Carter Fisk Carter Fisk 6'2" | CG/SG St. Frances | 2027 State MD to lead their attack, but finding the complementary role players was a process and it seemed like Spears answered the call emphatically. More 6’4″ than 6’3″ at this point, his plus length and bouncy athleticism around the rim carry a much bigger presence. Pair those with his hardhat mentality and physical frame and the Panthers had a versatile frontcourt piece that impacted the glass, actions around the rim and proved himself as an occasional shot maker with soft touch. St. Frances’ roster will have a pretty substantial makeover next season, which leaves an excellent opportunity for Spears to become a consistent contributor for the reigning BCL champions as a junior.
