Tico continues to establish himself as one of the most impactful guards in the region through his performance, leadership, and consistency. This past week, he led his team with 17 points and 6 rebounds in a key matchup against Leesburg, helping secure a hard-fought 55–47 victory. His ability to control the tempo, make smart decisions under pressure, and contribute on both ends of the floor sets the tone for his team. As a sophomore, he recently reached the 1,000-point milestone, and with his skill and leadership, the best is yet to come.

A fearless scorer still growing into his frame. Smith is a knockdown shooter from deep and creative at the rim. His confidence and scoring ability make him a name to track moving forward.

2023 stats: 22.2 PPG – 2.9 rebounds – 4.0 steals
How is Smith different from others on the list? He’s an 8th grader dominating competition at the varsity level. For his size and age, he can essentially do it all as a guard product that has acrobatic finishes at the rim and can shoot the rock consistently. Still plenty of time to go for Smith, but he’s dropped over 20+ points in the last few games for Meadowbrook Academy (5-3).
