Most Outstanding Player: Jaylen Mayo (JCBC)- Mayo was a problem all year for the first-year program. Once he got the rock in the paint it was usually a bucket or a trip to the charity stripe. He really flexed his muscles during the MDC while taking home the Mr. Memorial Day Trophy.

Prospect Of The Year: Donovan Freeman (JCBC)- This kid seems to get better each time of the floor. Now he’s beginning to show his perimeter game in terms of ball handling, making plays and shooting. If he continues on this track things could get scary. He was also the Best Defender we saw this year.
