Calhoun is already battle tested in the 7th region. A high IQ playmaker with advanced IQ, Mason could be the next great Male point guard. Jordan Mitchell leaving the Bulldogs leaves the keys to the Male offense in the freshman’s hands. In a lot of years we would be talking about Calhoun as the top point guard.

Perhaps the next great Male point guard, Calhoun has already logged a lot of time in a Bulldogs uniform and will take over the majority of the ball handling with Jordan Mitchell gone to Link Academy. Mason gets overlooked a little because of Rondo being in the same class but Calhoun has a ton of long term potential in his own right.

Mason will enter his freshman year of high school with two years of varsity experience under his belt. He was a significant contributor off the bench for Male last season even before their roster took a hit from the injury bug. From sheer strength to athleticism, he has physical tools that are advanced beyond his years. He pairs those attributes with elite downhill abilities and high-level shooting accuracy. It’s very likely he’ll be the best prospect in the gym at the Freshman Showcase.

Calhoun had his best performance of the weekend in a win over George Rogers Clark as his slashing ability was on full display against the defending state champs. Calhoun played well off two feet and can knock down shots off the catch. A fearless driver, Calhoun wants to get into the teeth of the defense and isn’t afraid to go up in traffic over tall defenders. Calhoun already burst onto the varsity scene last season and will be a featured player on a Male team that will be one of the younger groups in Kentucky next season but they have a handful of Division I targets on their team including Calhoun.

Mason was the second-leading scorer for the Bulldogs (13 PTS) in the decisive matchup in addition to securing a team-high 7 REB. With guts of steel, he gave Male a shot at the win by nailing a 3PT FG to tie the game with less than twenty seconds left in overtime.

An eighth grader making an impact on varsity, Calhoun was confident on the ball and made multiple plays as a dribble driver in this game. Getting to his spots and hitting shots in the floater and mid-range area. A name to know for the future, Calhoun should add weight and muscle to his frame over the next couple of years and become one of the best guards in Louisville as an upperclassman if he continues to work.

Male is one of the top teams in the state this season and Calhoun has already shown he’s ready for the battles of playing in the 7th region every night out. Shooting 40% from three while handling a lot of the ball handling duties for the Bulldogs, Mason is carving out a nice role for himself for Coach Haworth and seems to be among the top 8th graders in the city of Louisville.
