Standouts:

2022 DJ Nix (Cannon): Nix continues to have a tremendous season for Cannon.  He has been productive offensively scoring, displaying the ability to knock down outside shots, put the ball on the deck and attack vs. defenders, or work in the paint. He can give you a little bit of everything, on top of getting on the boards. He did all that in this game and was a key reason why Cannon secured the win.

2021 Jarvis Moss (Cannon): Continues to show that he is much more than just a shooter with range, as he gave us plenty of plays showing his explosion at the rim and his overall offensive game.  Moss' overall offensive attack is impressive and continues to be seen, which is why more schools have been coming his way. Extremely explosive tonight on the floor.

2021 Trae Benham (Concord): Benham is another player that has been labeled more as a shooter but he really mixed it up on the court, playing well off the ball, creating space for him to operate, penetrating with the dribble, and showing a nice balance in scoring.  Towards the end of the game, Benham was showing that he can really step up and knock down tough shots from outside as well.
