2017 Memorial Point Guard Caleb Nero made a statement scoring 33 points on 10 of 14 shooting from the field. Nero made the majority of his points from behind the arc shooting 7 of 11 from three point range.

Nero is much more than just a shooter, he can drive, or kick to an open teammate. As the season goes along Nero will see more double teams from opponents, which will open his teammates for great looks at the basket.
Memorial will be very tough to beat in Class 5A with Nero at the helm. If Thursday night was an indication, Nero is set for a monster junior season.
