G Terry Williams (Orr – 2019)
Williams is a prospect that contributed last year for Orr in a reserve role on their title team. He was their star on Friday night in the semis. The combo guard at 6’1” is a plus shooter that nailed three triples. He is almost automatic when he has his feet set and has a clean look. Fluid shot. Showed his more than just a shooter. Pushed in transition off defensive stops. Scrappy defender. Williams had 21 points.
SG Greg Outlaw (Orr – 2019)
Outlaw is a strong and uber athletic 6’4” wing that burst on our radar with his play last spring on the circuit. His game continues to evolve. Much more comfortable shooting the basketball as he knocked down an array of mid-range pull ups and a corner three. Overall the skill set is starting to be more consistent. Freak show athlete that can slash and finish through contact at the rim. Scored 15 points.
PG Dhashon Dyson (Corliss – 2019)
Dyson is a player that has flown under our radar over the last year. This 6’1” combo is a scorer first and foremost. Early in the game he struggled getting to the rim off the bounce. That opened up once he began knocking down pull up jumpers one after another. Took a lot of contested shots and made quite a few. As the game went on he put combination moves together to get in the lane for buckets. Dyson went for 22 points.
SF Leondre Townsen (Corliss – 2019)
Townsen has size for position at 6’6”. Showed explosion on a couple of strong takes off the bounce. That included a monster dunk. Hit a three from the corner. Struggled with a couple turnovers in the open floor. Went for 12 points.
SG Carson Parker (Nashville – 2020)
Outstanding game from Parker. The junior is primed for a big summer as he is getting looks from D1 and D2 programs. Played both on and off the ball throughout the night. Handles it well against tight defense. Parker is usually a pretty effective three point shooter, but all his shots were inside the arc going 6-12 from the field. Did a lot of his damage inside getting on the offensive glass, give and goes, drives to the hoop, and an alley-oop. Went for 17 points and 9 boards.
PG Bryce Bultman (Nashville – 2019)
Bultman is the #29 prospect in the senior class and is a steal for local D2 McKendree. The 6’5” point guard has excellent size for position with the ability to see over the defense. He is a slick passer that made several outstanding dishes in the half court. Multiple crisp drives off the dribble where he got by his man for a score at the rim. Not the most athletic guy he knows how to take quality angles and use his body to shield the ball. He had 13 points and 7 rebounds.
SF Ryland Holt (Gibson City – 2019)
Holt is the #19 prospect in the senior class and is headed to Minnesota State next season, but first he led his team into the semis on an epic winning streak. The 6’6” combo forward is a 4/3 at the next level, but did most of his damage on the interior in this game. He is so quick and explosive off the floor getting to the glass. Excellent second jump allowed him to get several boards. Scored multiple and-1s on quick moves from the mid-post area. Got to the line a lot where he was 7-8. Hit his only three of the game toward the end. Scored 18 points and grabbed 12 boards.
G Ben Freehill (Gibson City – 2019)
This 6’1” senior provided a spark for his team. He hit a deep three. Banked in a shot. Got an offensive rebound put back off his own miss. Scrappy defender that gets in passing lanes. He had 10 points.
