Jalon “The Blur” Blackwell

Blackwell was on another level from the jump, slicing and dicing the Mt Si defense in the halfcourt, and outrunning them in transition to get breakaway buckets. It only makes sense to call him “The Blur” because no one could match his pace and energy. He wasn’t just fast though, he showed great anticipation leaking out to get the break started, and was tough at the rim all game finishing through contact and finding angles around bigger defenders.

No. 5 | Blackwell is now one of the leaders in a very gifted backcourt at Kentridge. He’s a big-time threat from long range and also leads the way with his defensive effort. The tiny guard has springs and quick hands that can surprise opponents with steals and blocks. You feel his presence on the court and he’s definitely not one to give up on a play.
