Team Preview- Mansfield Timberview
The Mansfield Timberview Wolves ???? would have been a top ten team in the state before last week when they got the news that talented power forward Jaquan Scott would be transferring to Universal Academy. Timberview still has a talented team despite the transfer. Seniors Trazarien White (Air Force Commit), Rodrigo Soares, Tristan Starks and shifty point guard C.J. Smith will have to play big this year for the Wolves to successfully make a deep run.
Top Players
Trazarien White / 6’5” / Power Forward / 2019
Trazarien is a versatile Forward that has an endless motor from start to finish. He plays with toughness and uses his athleticism to finish through or over defenders. He has decent ball handling ability that allows him to take slower defenders off the dribble. White is the Wolves’ best prospect, and their most important player.
C.J. Smith / 5’9” / Point Guard / 2019
C.J. is a shifty ball handler that uses his quickness and speed to get by defenders. Smith has a good looking jumpshot and will hit pull up jumpers off the dribble from beyond the arc or mid range. He is the straw that stirs the drink for Timberview and if he is creating for his teammates and playing well, then the Wolves will have a great season this year.
Rodrigo Soares / 6’3” / Small Forward / 2019
Soares is a marksmen from the three-point line. You have to make sure you know where he is at all times when he is on the floor because if he gets his feet set and catches it in rhythm, you might as well count the basket.
