Grassroots Preview: MO Team Carroll
Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the MO Team Carroll 17U Team:
Roster
Jamonta Black 6’4″ Rock Bridge
Jake Branham 6’1″ Springfield Catholic
Quinton Brown 6’6″ Rock Bridge
Tyem Freeman 6’6″ Parkview
Amauri Hickson 6’2″ Blue Valley North
Jarvis Jennings 6’1″ Hickman
Broc Smith 6’4″ Republic
Trent Smith 6’6″ Carl Junction
Beau Washer 6’2″ Father Tolton
Outlook: Team Carroll has put together a talented roster that will compete in the Adidas Gauntlet Silver Division Circuit. One of the big additions is the 6’6″ Freeman, an ultra-athlete who has already given a commitment to Missouri State University. Black is a talented wing player who helped Rock Bridge to a third-place finish in the Class 5 state tournament. Broc Smith, Trent Smith and Branham were a big part of a excellent Springfield Hawks team that was very successful last summer. Hickson is a powerful guard with athleticism and scoring ability while Washer, Jennings and Brown are very good players from Mid-Missouri.
