Forwards
Jalen Hampton Jalen Hampton 6'7" | PF Link Year | 2022 MO 6’5″ University City: The bouncy combo forward enjoyed a very productive day as he continued to create matchup problems with his ability to put it on the floor and beat bigger defenders off the dribble. He was also one of the most explosive players in the event as he threw down several impressive dunks.
Josh Robinson 6’8″ Cardinal Ritter: The young post player has continued to get bigger and improve with each year. He was a big factor during the event with his ability to score in the post and rebound at both ends. His fundamentals are very good in the post in catching and keeping the ball up high.
Keashon Petty Keashon Petty 5'10" | PG Parkway North | 2021 State MO 6’3″ Wentzville Holt: A physical combo forward who was very good at playing bully-ball on his way to a lot of buckets. His combination of strength and skill level made him very tough to handle when he wanted to get to the basket.
Lance Hackney Lance Hackney 6'7" | PF Lutheran St Charles | 2021 State MO 6’6″ Lutheran St. Charles: The strong post player did a nice job of using his size and bulk around the basket. He was very good on the offensive boards and he can score in the post with both hands effectively.
Guards/Wings
Mario Fleming Mario Fleming 6'3" | SG Cardinal Ritter | 2021 State MO 6’3″ Cardinal Ritter: The power guard is a tough matchup for defenders because he can post up and get buckets inside against smaller defenders while his expanding perimeter game enables him to score off the dribble if there is a bigger defender on him.
Demarcus Sanford Jr Demarcus Sanford Jr 6'2" | PG St. Louis Christian | 2021 State MO 6’2″ Lift for Life: A long, athletic combo guard who handles himself well at either guard spot. He displayed his excellent 3-point shooting range while showcasing his ability to facilitate the offense as a point guard.
Isaiah Williams Isaiah Williams 6'2" | SG Lutheran North | 2021 State MO 6’3″ CBC: An athletic wing player who was one of the top defensive players at the event. He was one of the leading shot-blockers at the event despite being only 6’3. He was very effective when he was slashing to the basket.
Anais Futrell-Yahwah 6’4″ McCluer: A home school student who is now attending McCluer and will be a welcome addition with his size and versatility. He was impressive with his ability to score at the rim and attack the basket and the boards.
