This pic of Mental with a very young looking Riley up front. Spoiler looks very happy. Cool, old Shipwrecked shirt. Members of Justice. The one guy doesn’t look very happy. This is a beautiful piece of history from the
@DrugDogs
archives.
I’m based out of the south, so I’m by no means an authority on this, but Brock Harding (
@hardingbrock2
) has to be one of the best point guards in the Midwest, right? I love this guy.
@MidProAcademy
FINAL: North Gwinnett 91, Cedar Shoals 60.
The story of the game? Thomas Allard makes history by setting a new
@NG_Hoops
record for most 3-pointers in a game.
Allard hit 13 3s tonight and finished with 43 points.
5-star Boogie Fland just finished with 31 points for PSA Cardinals.
Among the schools heavily pursuing Fland:
Alabama
Louisville
Kentucky
Oregon
St. Johns
UNC
UConn
Villanova
He mentioned Kentucky as a potential visit destination, which would likely come later in the summer.
Cincinnati's staff was deep in Georgia today, and they were on hand to watch Grovetown. Derrion Reid picked up an offer from the Bearcats after his big game tonight.
FINAL: Wheeler 79, McEachern 71
The Isaiah Collier/Arrinten Page duo does it again. The future USC Trojans finished with 25 points and 24 points respectively while Jelani Hamilton added 16.

) just put on a show on court 5. He dropped 25 points and had the building going crazy with his passing.
@teamloadednc
just hit 20 3-pointers. Just a ridiculous showing from them.
FINAL: Norcross 58, Berkmar 45.
Tons of credit to this Blue Devils squad. They had some turbulence in terms of roster turnover, but the group that remained bought in and can call themselves 7A champs.
London Johnson - 27pts, 7reb, 4stl
Jerry Deng - 14pts
Samarion Bond - 13pts
Jacob Meyer (

Stevenson is a special player.
2026 Mavrik Hawkins (
@MavHawkins
) led
@MokanBasketball
15U this morning with 18 points. He had some scoring outbursts that included multiple threes in a row. He can put points in the board quickly.

.
Derrion Reid (
@35Derrion
) is my performer of the day.
He checked every single box for
@GtWarriorsBball
tonight. 29 points on 5 3s. He was all over the glass, and he was often a primary initiator on offense. He certainly took advantage of the live period opportunity.
FINAL: Windsor Forest 66, Kell 65

FINAL: Wheeler 74, North Gwinnett 49
The Wildcats took the game over in the second half.
The USC signees Isaiah Collier and Arrinten Page were particularly good.

My top five would be:
Newton at Norcoss
Wheeler at McEachern
Etowah at St. Pius
Grovetown at Lanier
Sandy Creek at Johnson-Savannah
2025 5 star W/F Caleb Wilson (

Some notes from yesterday: Damarion Dennis (
