Games Covered
Franklin (59) – Ravenwood (53)
Cane Ridge (40) – Hillsboro (37)
Northeast (59) – Rossview (56)
Brandon Miller Brandon Miller 6'8" | SF Cane Ridge | 2022 State #18 Nation TN (Cane Ridge) – Earned Tournament MVP.
Caleb Wilson Caleb Wilson 6'2" | CG Cane Ridge | 2021 State TN (Cane Ridge) – He showed excellent speed and smoothness out on the break. Wilson is one of the best Robin’s in the state, with Brandon Miller Brandon Miller 6'8" | SF Cane Ridge | 2022 State #18 Nation TN the obvious Batman.
Marcus Averhart Marcus Averhart 6'2" | CG Clarksville Northeast | 2021 State TN (Northeast) – The fourth quarter was tight. The whole game was tight! For Marcus to remain outwardly calm and make challenging shots in that massive fourth showed seniority and leadership. He didn’t play outside of himself, but Averhart is still an elite defender and excellent scorer at the high school level. Averhart even played special defense on the inbounds and forced Bryant Rippy Bryant Rippy 6'0" | PG Rossview | 2021 State TN into a 5-second call with around 90 seconds left in the game. The previous possession Averhart deflected a simple perimeter pass skyward. The end-result was an extra Eagle possession. Averhart is not a loud player, but his actions are dramatic and descisive.
Lee Mollette III (Ravenwood) – Mollette III took on the thankless task of checking Franklin guards Reed Kemp Reed Kemp 6'0" | PG Franklin | 2021 State TN at times, and Davis Long. Molette III is an angular, lean wing with football toughness and plus balance.
Carlos Boatner (Rossview) – The pregame prediction for steady offensive hand was not for Boatner. More than once Carlos found a small pocket in the Northeast defense and buried his jumper calmly. Bizarrely, Rossview struggled to put together scoring runs and Boatner ended a couple small droughts.
Tim Williams Tim Williams 6'1" | PG Rossview | 2021 State TN (Rossview) – In the final minute, down three points, Tim Williams Tim Williams 6'1" | PG Rossview | 2021 State TN put on his big boy pants and launched a step-back three-pointer on Jaylan Miller Jaylan Miller 6'0" | PG Clarksville Northeast | 2021 State TN . It looked teasingly pure from the release and in fact it was. Williams tied the game and saved the Hawks for another 30 seconds of basketball life.
