As a homer, really high on all four of ECS main scorers. All can give you 25+ any given night.

Fenner and Stone are the two who everyone knows and have followed all year.
There are several very young players who will be around for several years. Robinson from ECS (Kelvin's younger brother) is good and he has some very good/young talent around him.
Sorry I can't offer more names.

Stone and Fenner seem to be on a whole nother level of good compared to other 3A players. But outside of these two personally I can't name three others due to lack of knowledge of talent outside of Region 3

Manila really has no stars, start 1 Sr, 3 Jrs & a Soph. 2 freshman play considerable minutes. We will play 9-11 kids & just get after ya. We have 4 players that basically average double figures & try to feed who is hot at the moment.

The Beeman kid from Lamar is pretty solid,  watched some games and video,  really stood out in district for the Lamar team,but he just has good bball  skills all year long

Both Carruthers kids from Osceola are salty players.

Not sure I wouldn't put the Burleson kid from Jessieville instead of Lamb.

BigMan15

He didn't get all state so I would say Lamb but he is a very good player as well

mountainmangrizzly

Have they made their all state selections yet and if so where can you see them at?

BigMan15

They have not announced them yet

Good list of players. Not sure how many are seniors and will have to make good ACT scores to get a scholarship offer, otherwise they might have to attend a junior college for a year or two. A shame, because so many seniors could play at D1 or D2 level with some ACT test taking 'teacher assistance' getting the mandatory minimal scores in the books for recruiters to see.. Otherwise their hands are tied so to speak. Same thing goes for football, talent there on many players but academics need special attention ... and not in the last semester of a senior year. Some take the ACT test 2-3 times to show areas of deficiency and rectify the low scores. Schools are for classroom success first and extracurricular sports are secondary. We parents all know that. Good luck to all seniors who desire to go to the next level and hope the college scouts take note of their success in high school sports, BB or FB or track etc..

He can shoot mid range all day, and he's a pretty good free throw shooter.

1+ and so true. Today's kids in high school have so many more distractions outside school than kids just 10-12 years ago. Sign of the times ... But still does not take away from what "school" is, an academic institute paid for by state taxes for the most part ( unless a private school ) and geared to educate the kids for what's in store for them the REST of their lives, not just perhaps 4 more years in a college for an athlete.

Jacob Loggins from Marshall should be in the mix after Fenner and Stone.  He is averaging a little over 20 pts per game this season as a junior.

Agreed. Loggins is overlooked because he plays at little ole Marshall but he is a consistently good offensive as well as defensive player especially for his small size.

NeaBaller21

There's a kid from Tuckerman that is pretty solid but can't think of his name for anything!

biglion1985

I would put Burrow and Woodall from Manila in the mix also because both are capable of putting up 20-25 a night

BigMan, fenner would be in my top 5 perimeter players, but not number one overall. Watched him play several times this year and his defense is questionable a lot more than it's strong. Lamar exposed how to play trough him and win. No offense, he's a good player, just not, in my opinion, the number one this year.

BigMan15

I disagree he averages 25+ ppg 8rpg and 2 spg. Although he didn't look great against Lamar doesn't mean he hasn't played great all year. Also I think on his worst night against Lamar as you said. Scoring 15 against a hard defense isn't all that bad. I assure you many players would be very happy if one of their worst games was 15 points and 6 re vs and 3 ast

Warriors023

I've seen him play several times. Every time has been the same. Great offensively, but defense is pretty shaky.

Both good but me too, by a notch.  Lamb might have a little more upside though.  Lamb is from Jessieville too (his school wasn't noted on that list).  Very heavy conference and Chucktown bias/homerism here.  Not uncommon on here.  Three, possibly 4? of the top ten players in 3A are from that conference (which is very respectable).  Skip.

You can't just get on here and question a guy without saying who you think is better than him. So...who are your 5 better than him?

bigdoug

I think the Brasfield kid does way more than just score the ball. He's averaging 15+ ppg, 8 assist, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals a game. He is a TRUE PG and he is leading his team very well right now. Him and the Robinson boy are a matchup problem. We didnt get to see it Tuesday night vs. Clinton because of the stall ball, but hopefully we will get to actually see how good this Episcopal team really is.

neds

Good points bigdoug , Brasfield is a very good player. I love it when he really ramps up his defense. The steals part is underrated

Warriors023

Lee, notice my rephrasing on that post

strongandsteady

I'll have to input you'll be hearing about a soon to be junior from Prescott next year. Jordan Glass 6'3 was averaging 21 PPG and 8 RPG before he got injured. Kid is a natural scorer and is very physical.

Osceola's 10th grader Makai Caruthers has to be top 5 for sure he is darn good

He changes the game even if he doesn't score. He rebounds really well and is a good shot blocker. He draws a lot of double teams leaving shooters wide open. Some times scoring isn't everything for a player, it's what he does to help his team win, and there is no denying that he helps this Lamar team win.
