Dawkins’ Standouts from Day 1 of Hoop State League (Championship Weekend)
By: DeAjai Dawkins 5’11 2022 Kyron Weil (Believe Prep) Kyron earned my unwavering respect after his final game against Word of God. Weil, with that single game, showed me a level of toughness, composure, ball-handling, and team-orientation that proved his competence to me. I believe this is a lead guard that coaches would fawn over. Relentless attacker that gets into the lane and...
