6’0 Jermaine Council Guard
This weekend Jermaine Council put the state of Florida on notice and made a name for himself on the Prep Hoops circuit. Council walked into this weekend unknown to many scouts.
He burst onto the scene with his opening game dropping an astounding 30 points. The shifty guard shot the ball well, got to the paint and finished tough layups with both hands against a tough AOI squad. The Ball 4 Lyfe guard also played up for their 17u squad. He boasts a muscular frame and proved to be a strong defender. I will be looking for this guard to make large strides in his stock this summer.
6’3 Trevor Gillis Guard
Gillis had dominate performances all weekend, a physical player with a solid frame that can flat out shoot the ball. He rebounded well as a guard, boxed out every time a shot went up and was a physical defender without picking up fouls.
He’s able to get his shot off in a hurry, a great catch and shoot guard with an ability to defend multiple positions I’d like to see this prospect handle the ball more.
6’3 Max Burnison Guard
This guard carried a heavy weight for The Big 3. Not only could he score in bunches, he did all the small things that don’t fill stat sheets.
Even during loses the 6’3 guard kept his head in the game and applied pressure with phenomenal 3 point shooting. One of the better shooting guards of the weekend.

Folds put a show his last game of the day hitting 7 3’s. Damon is coming off a great sophomore season on varsity boasting one of the highest 3 point percentages in the state.
The Morningside Point Guard displays a high IQ and shows a deep ability to pass the ball and juke out defenders with pass fakes. Damon Folds Damon Folds 5'7" | PG Morningside | 2024 FL is an exciting guard to watch play.
