the best of basketball in middle georgia

Lets just be honest with each other
Its damn hard to stay up with high school sports without having box scores to look at.
I for one spent a lot of time looking at the newspaper and seeing who did what the night before or online to see who did what hours after they did it.
Seems like those days are dead and gone and that is sad.
Now the only way I can figure out how to keep up with everyone in the area is to look at max preps where many schools load team stats.
Unfortunately many teams do not use this to put stats up. I am really not sure of the reason why they would not  put stats up but I have heard reasons like well I don't want to give the teams we are playing the advantage of seeing who our best players are.
Really ?
NO I mean Really ?
Guys everyone knows who your best player is night in and night out. It is just too east to find out and that is just not a great excuse.
I would rather hear , it is just our schools decision not to publish our stats.
Fair enough.
So
I go searching to find out who the top players are in the area to write this story


THE BIG THREE
Probably the easiest decision I will make today because Khavon Moore, Nelson Phillips and Cam Holden are by far the best three players in the area. Moore is finally a senior for Westside and has the choice to go anywhere he wants to go. Phillips is a Warner Robins standout who will start for Georgia State next year and Holden is basically putting Mary Persons basketball on the map this year. I mean he scored 46 last game and is averaging 29 points a game. That's pretty solid.


THE NEXT FIVE
Greg Holloway- The Westside senior is having a huge year, going for 18 points and 11 boards a game. He has given the Seminoles another option and will probably lead them to a nice playoff run.


Jacolbey Owens: This kid is so good for WRHS and I am betting his best days will be at the next level.
Kylan Hill: He is a Central standout and the leader of a very good basketball team , but I will admit I don't know much about him because I haven't seen them play and I haven't seen stats on him. But all I hear about this kid is good


Darius Dunn: Dunn is the leader of a strong Northeast team that will make the playoffs and he does it  with 18 points a game.


Brice Pastor; It doesn't look like Peach County is very good but Pastor is putting up 21 points a game to go with almost 8 rebounds, numbers that must be recognized.


THESE GUYS ARE GOOD TOO
Devin Butts: I thought I would have him in the next five column but he did not have a good game against Wilkinson and that bumped him down a bit. This Stratford guard has talent galore and he could lead the Eagles to a nice playoff run.


Ty'Ree Gilbert: He plays at Northeast and everyone needs to get to know Northeast because they are pretty good. Gilbert gives them 14 points a game.


LaMontis Moore: Nothing much is heard about Rutland, but Moore is quietly have a 16 point a game type of year.
Maurice Gordon: I expected more from a veteran FPD team but Gordon still has a chance to put the team on his back and get going. He averages 13 points and 8 rebounds a game


BEST OF THE REST
THE entire WRHS TEAM
Christian Palmer  and Jaden Harris from Stratford.
Lance Franklin from Tattnall
Wesley Wilson from FPD
Jake Smith from Perry.


Go ahead and go watch some of these talented kids in the area.
Oh yeah I did dare get into Upson Lee because they are a little too far away and a little too good for me to talk about when I don't really know anything except 51 straight,
