#126 Stratton Lovorn Stratton Lovorn 6'6" | PG Community | 2022 State TN (Community)
For Community High, Stratton played well throughout the 23-win season. They even advanced to the Class AA State Tournament after beating a relentless East Nashville team. When Stratton is talking to his grandson in 30 years he will tell him that his high school team defeated NBA point guard Jaylen Jones Jaylen Jones 6'0" | PG East Nashville | 2023 State #178 Nation TN in the playoffs. Though they lost to Kingston 75-64, Lovorn scored 12 points on 4-14 shooting with two blocks and one steal. He was kind of an outside-in wing operator. Lovorn plays to his height. He is not crouched over and meek in mid-air. Stratton projects as a college 2/3 at the small college level. Division II would be his ceiling but NAIA looks to be the best fit.
#127 Jeff Spivey Jeff Spivey 6'4" | SF Clay County | 2022 State TN (Clay County)
Get one thing straight… Grant Strong Grant Strong 6'4" | SG Clay County | 2022 State TN is the demonic scorer for Clay County. He did not win the State Championship alone though. Jeff Spivey Jeff Spivey 6'4" | SF Clay County | 2022 State TN helped with eight points and four rebounds in the Saturday victory and five and five to open the exhilarating championship weekend with a win over Madison Academic. JS does need to improve his scoring efficiency. Projects as an NAIA forward, perhaps small forward if there is such a position anymore. He routinely challenged for the team’s rebounding leader and provided a needed post deterrent at the Class A level. Ideally, Spivey will be able to establish a little wing capability to enhance his college potential. Springy, lean. Spivey also plays baseball. “Played smaller, but important role for us as a sophomore,” shared Clay County coach in late 2020. “Has 2-Guard size (6’1”) and shooting (44-104 from 3, 42.3%) ability, but played the 4 for us last season out of necessity. Developed into one of our better defenders as the season progressed, most notably defending East Robertson’s Taylor Groves Taylor Groves 6'2" | SG East Robertson (FB) | 2022 State TN in our 60-59 road win back in December. Could be a good 3 and D wing for the right college program if he chooses to play basketball in college. Also plays golf and baseball at Clay County.

#129 D.J. Richmond D.J. Richmond 6'3" | PG Harding Academy | 2022 State TN (Harding Academy)
Light on his feet. Dustin “DJ” Richmond Jr. likes contact despite his slender, toned frame and finishing in the lane is a key to his success. Richmond is poised for a climb, according to @CourtneyHoops90 . The large and quick first step helps Richmond break off defenders. He projects as a Division II point guard.

#130 Chris Martin Chris Martin 6'0" | CG Southwind | 2022 State TN (Southwind)
Exceptional first step quickness. Martin is a smaller guard with the kind of range that everybody’s mother can love. The release is repeatable and he does a great job elevating both from the great beyond and also against tall defenders in the paint. Though we list him as a combo here, Martin will do well to prove he can play college point. Martin looks to be a top 100 player in the very near future.
