A 525-mile drive to South Georgia allowed me to catch a great Class A-Public battle between previously undefeated Claxton and Portal in the Turpentine City on Friday night. Portal handed the Tigers a 55-50 loss. On Saturday, I visited Veterans, the lone remaining undefeated team in Class 5A and witnessed the Warhawks rout a shorthanded Peach County team 81-42. Here are some quick notes from the long weekend.
2023 6-10 C Aaron Jones Aaron Jones 6'11" | C Veterans | 2023 State GA – Veterans
Blocks shots without fouling. Still growing into his body and getting better coordination. Will need to add strength and continue to improve his footwork and balance. Can finish at the rim with dunks.
2022 6-3 SG Jacory Brooks – Peach County
Multi-level scorer. Got to his spots in the mid-range. Good size helps him rebound. Has the physical tools to be a solid defender.
2022 6-2 CG Temarius Mathis Temarius Mathis 6'0" | PG Peach County | 2022 State GA – Peach County
Offensive creator. Struggled with shot selection. Capable of filling it up when he’s on. Can shoot the three off the dribble and can play above the rim. Decision making and defense are rooms for growth. Talented natural scorer.
2022 6-3 PF LaDaria Leggett – Peach County
Explodes off the ground. Lefty finishes with dunks and can catch oops. Uses his burly build and leaping ability to rebound in traffic. Effective in the paint. Plays bigger than size.
2021 5-11 PG Shakari Denson – Claxton
Ohio football-signee. Quick little guard served as lead ball handler. Did a good job of keeping his head up. Can attack opposing guards as a defender and make them uncomfortable with his on-ball defense.
