2024 Elijah Duval scorched the competition for Athletes of Influence (AOI). The 6-foot-2, 175-pound point guard averaged 24 points per game on the 2024 and 2023 team’s. Duval scored 14 points as AOI cruised past 2023 Anything is Possible AAU (AIP) 78-36. 2023’s Remi Dieujuste added 15 points, Josh Williams had 14, and Davarius Johnson finished with 12. Duval averaged 8.7 points and four rebounds per game for Monsignor Bonner/Archbishop Prendergast in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. Duval is lightning quick and has a great handle. He attacks the rim well and can finish with either hand. Duval will play his sophomore season at Martin County High School (Stuart). The Tigers went 21-1 last season before falling to Mater Academy Charter in the state playoffs. His addition could very well boost Martin County to a state championship. He is the younger brother of former Duke point guard Trevon Duval. Duval could very well vault into a top 10 player in his class here in Florida. I’m sure 2022

is happy to have on his team this fall. The pair should be fun to watch.
2024 Damon Folds is a point guard for John Carroll High School. Folds helped the 2024 AOI team to a championship win at the Hoop Culture Showcase Event with ten points, six assists, three steals and two blocks. He has playmaking ability and a nice shot from the perimeter. Moreover, Folds’ court vision is superb and he’s a tough defender. He knows how to take control of an offense and put his teammates in the right place to succeed.
2024 Carter McDole Carter McDole 6'5" | SF Dr. Phillips | 2024 CA-S is a South Carolina native playing at Montverde Academy. This kid is a talent in the making at 6-foot-6. McDole plays off the wing and averaged a double-double of 16 points and ten rebounds during the tournament. His length also contributed to two blocks per game. It is worth noting he played against 2024’s and 2023’s last weekend. McDole can glide up and down the floor and play above the rim. A true mismatch with his athleticism and height. McDole is big-time with a bright future.
*Athletes of Influence will be at the top 250 camp next month in Winter Haven.
