King Keary King Keary 6'2" | PG Goodpasture | 2025 VA (Goodpasture) — Sharp passes against Independence. Great court vision. He is an elite point guard the Class of 2025, possible a Top 3 guard in the Cougar Classic event. Did not prove he acn hit a three-point shot consistently, even wide-open opportunities. He will dribble around everybody, given enough time. Keary’s ceiling is still TBD. At the high school level, Keary is a potential State Champion. Facing Independence he made very few mistakes. Very few.
Jett Montgomery Jett Montgomery 6'1" | PG Independence | 2024 State TN (Independence) — Wonderful scoring in the Cougar Classic. Jett scored 35 points in an overtime loss to Webb Feet, fouling out in overtime, unfortunately. Independence Head Coach Mark Wilkins wanted more ball denial and trapping from Jett in the latter stages of the Goodpasture loss, in order to speed up the Cougars. The best shooter in the junior class? Elite free throw shooter. Nobody is better. Jett is very, very good at leaking out after the offense shoots. His ability to get “cheap” buckets is wonderful, thanks to his court awareness and speed.
Isaiah West Isaiah West 6'3" | SG Goodpasture | 2023 State #216 Nation TN (Goodpasture) — Rusty. The mid-range shots that he did take looked wonderful. West is only about a month out from returning post-ACL surgery. Isaiah West Isaiah West 6'3" | SG Goodpasture | 2023 State #216 Nation TN did not out-run Tylan Lewis Tylan Lewis 6'2" | PG Independence | 2025 State TN during a low-key fastbreak and he would have a year ago. He probably will again someday. West is still building strength in his leg and trust in his balance.
Jack Carter Jack Carter 6'6" | SG Goodpasture | 2023 State TN (Goodpatsure) — Jack played the “5” for Goodpasture, a team that pummeled Independence during the Cougar Classic.
Bradley Stewart Bradley Stewart 6'2" | PG Independence | 2024 State TN (Independence) — Really, really gritty. Scrappy. Bradley turned the ball over one or two times each game, but irritated multiple guards with his incredibly quick movements.
Tylan Lewis Tylan Lewis 6'2" | PG Independence | 2025 State TN (Independence) — Wow! What strength!? Tylan is built like a senior point guard. He was forced to play overtime Monday night without Jett by his side and his team struggled to keep pace with Webb-Bell Buckle. Tylan’s weakness might be three-point shooting? Maybe. High ceiling. Talent. Devoted to working out…obviously.
