The 2025 guard dropped 20 points in a tight game against Walton and showed off a well-versed skillset to pair with his athleticism and quickness. Sanford finds himself in a great situation at Cherokee, being able to develop and learn from senior guards while still making an impact this year.
Highlights

His running mate, Brandon Rechsteiner Brandon Rechsteiner 6’0″ | PG Etowah | 2023 State #193 Nation GA , exploded for 7 first-half threes which helped open up things for Etter later in the game.

He was also tasked with the Peyton Marshall Peyton Marshall 7’0″ | C Overtime Elite | 2024 State GA matchup but Etter didn’t back down and battled inside all night. LM/MM schools could have a steal in Mason Etter Mason Etter 6’5″ | SF Etowah | 2023 State GA .
Simply put, Harrison Morris Harrison Morris 6’8″ | PF Walton | 2023 State GA does a lot of things on the basketball court that people his size normally can’t. At 6’8, Morris moves extremely well and has the ability to step out and play defense on the perimeter as well as inside providing a lot of defensive switchability. He can also stretch the floor with his ability to shoot the ball or attack off the dribble. Morris also had some impressive passes on Thursday that you rarely see bigs make. Fresh off a couple of D3 offers, Morris will play a key role for Walton this year.
Highlights
Jay Boyd Jay Boyd 6’2″ | SG Hiram | 2023 State GA had another fantastic week at the RYZE Fall League, stroking it from 3 and scoring at all three levels. While Hiram has been playing without their bigs, Boyd has stepped into the interior and held it down. Despite being a natural 2-guard, Boyd has been working the high post effectively and defending the post well. He did a great job on Thursday guarding Albert Wilson Albert Wilson 6’6″ | PF North Cobb Christian | 2023 State GA and making things hard for him inside. In the first 4 weeks, Jay Boyd Jay Boyd 6’2″ | SG Hiram | 2023 State GA has already proved that he’ll produce no matter where you put him on the court.

Noah Grigsby had a strong showing for Lassiter in a runaway win over Cass. The 2024 guard really impressed with his ability to get up and down the floor and score in transition. Lassiter defended the full-court for most of the game where Grigsby could force turnovers or catch outlet passes in transition and finish at the rim. Grigsby is a fluid ball-handler in the open court and also has a nice outside shot. Grigsby, Travis Godwin, and Cal Liston Cal Liston 6’5″ | SF Lassiter | 2024 State GA all return for Lassiter this year and should take a major step forward this season.
