Spotlight Players
Mr. Memorial Day – Malik Ellison Guard (Harvest Knights)- The championship game was a reflection of how he dominated the tournament. Ellison has the speed, skills and court savvy that separated him from his peers. It’s kind of strange to see a kid this young with a game that’s so polished. He has a few moves that would make a high school player jealous.Trevaughn Wilkerson Forward (Harvest Knights)- Wilkerson court presence alone causes numerous problems for the opposition. His length inside makes opponents have to alter shots and get them blocked. He’s developing offensively and showed have a bright future.
Ray Lawry Guard (Harvest Knights)- Lawry used his powerful drives throughout the tourney to be a force. He’s a very strong guard especially on this level. His confidence continues to grow every time out. He averaged 13 pts a game.
Isiah Baylor Forward (Harvest Knights)- Baylor hit the glass hard for Knights. He does all the dirty work inside that leads to easy buckets for their guards. He grabbed about 10 boards a game.
Temple Gibbs Guard (KSK)- Gibbs fought hard but the Knights had a buzz saw going in this one. The poised guard still had a good showing at the MDC especially in the semifinal during a hard fought victory over stubborn Hollis Biddies.Bryce Aiken Guard (KSK)- This kid must have a radar under his jersey because he strokes it very accurately from deep. He also played big in the semifinal which propelled KSK to a championship appearance.
