Two stunning results Monday night helped make it a wild night: Henry County won 74-58. McMinn County sent White County home losers, 55-54.
Semaj King (Henry County)
Muscular. Semaj King helped his Patriots pummel favored Northeast in the first half. King played wonderful dictating tempo. Northeast is a dangerous and fast-paced team. Unless you defend the outlet, then you have no chance at suppressing the Eagle convocation.
Davion Evans Davion Evans 5'6" | PG McMinn County | 2023 State TN (McMinn County)
Davion is a new name to us, but the reputation within his program is strong. Davion is a productive member of the Class of 2023. Davion finished the Monday win with 12 points, 5 assists, and 4 steals.
Henry County is playing a little too fast this 3rd quarter and Northeast, now urgently attacking, is making a decent attempt at coming back.
44-24 Henry County still leads big midway thru 3rd Q.
Two nice drives recently by Isaiah Farrior. He plays above everybody else.

Ty Runyan (McMinn County)
In addition to routinely putting up double figure scores, Runyan gives even more to the team. Knowing White County superstar Grant Slatten Grant Slatten 6'5" | SG White County | 2021 State TN was coming, McMinn County put together a defensive scheme featuring Runyan and teammate Jalan James. Most of the game, McMinn County ran a box-and-1 with either Ty or Jalan hounding Slatten. Grant did scored 30 points, but the end-result was a Cherokee win.
Marcel Reed Marcel Reed 6'3" | SG M.B.A. (football) | 2023 State TN (M.B.A.)
On the road, facing a senior-laden team, Marcel Reed Marcel Reed 6'3" | SG M.B.A. (football) | 2023 State TN scored 20 points for his M.B.A. Big Red. Reed is a truly whimsical athlete with a keen devotion to fitness. High effort. Low drama.
Isaiah Farrior Isaiah Farrior 6'5" | SG Clarksville Northeast | 2021 State TN (Northeast)
Monday’s game against Henry County was very uneven. Farrior committed a handful of turnovers in the ugly first half. He earned his way to the basket in the important third quarter with tenacity and guile. Farrior is outrageously athletic. His defensive intensity improved in the last year. His offense still looks hot and cold. It is tough to assign him any shortcomings other than an erratic shot selection. Potential, potential, potential.
Harper Neal Harper Neal 6'0" | PG Kingston | 2021 State TN (Kingston)
Harper nearly amassed a triple double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. His 6 rebounds fell short of the triple double feat.
Zay’vion Phelps (Henry County)
The Patriots needed to stifle several of the best hoop athletes in the entire state Monday night. How did they do it? Well, Phelps was a tall, moderately lengthy deterrent. It was not 100% due to Phelps as Northeast’s wings made some poor choices on their own. It is necessary to acknowledge this undeniable fact. Phelps was critical in Henry County’s closing play, during which the Patriots need to fend off a hard-charging Eagle surge.
Grant Slatten Grant Slatten 6'5" | SG White County | 2021 State TN (White County)
Though potential Mr. Basketball Grant Slatten Grant Slatten 6'5" | SG White County | 2021 State TN scored 30 points his White County Warriors fell to McMinn County, 55-54.
