Adler Kerr Adler Kerr 6'2" | PG Wilson Central | 2022 State TN had a great summer during AAU. His senior season should be All-District, perhaps All-Region in quality. Kerr is a versatile wing with strong arms and legs whilst standing 6-foot-2. Kerr, Thomas, and RIggan will get to push the play a little more this season than last.
“Yeah, I definitely like [our style of play],” said Evan Riggan during the 9AAAA Media Day. “With the people we have, I think it works the best. Getting the people to the right spots.”

“We think we can beat anybody in the district or anybody we play, so if you go into the game with that…,” said Riggan on the topic of playing fearless.
Defensive Mettle
Size will be a concern and Coach Teeter acknowledges as much.
“We are not fortunate enough to have [a center],” observed Coach Teeter at 9AAAA Media Day. “We are definitely not the tallest team in the league and we make up for that in how we are going to defend. You mention hair on fire and frenetic…that is how we are going to have to play. We do not have somebody, unfortunately, that can protect the rim. We have some guys that are going to slide underneath and take a charge and just make things as difficult as we can.”
