Semaj Christon has been the star, as anticipated, for the Knights scoring in excess of 17 a game. While Keontae Brown (Dayton Dunbar), Zach McCorkle, Ben Galemmo, the Rossi brothers, Landen Gaulden, and Paul Woodson have all had their moments.

Queen City Prophets 16u team were at the Hoosier Shootout and were knocked out in first round of bracket play by Hidden Gems out of Columbus
ReplyDeleteCorrect, change needs to be made. That team is missing a lot of bodies.
ReplyDeleteQCP had plenty of bodies, but with solid perfomances from Brandon Bapst,Drew Makiewicz, Ronnie Stokes,and KyJaun Grace. Hidden Gems were the better team in that game. This is the same team that played Nova Village two times this year and won both, yet failed to make your list of quality Ohio teams going to W.V. Just Sayin'
