Great Players from 2003-Present in the 16th Region

[thewalrus]

I started this to honor and/or give credit to some of the great players that have played in the 16th Region in the last 5 years or are still providing us with good entertaining High School Basketball. If everyone will put a couple players down that stood out to you them we can fill out a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team.

I will say Antonio Owens, Jonathan Vanhoose, Chad Jackson, Dakota Euton, and Jonathan Ferguson.

Some very good players over that time frame

Here's my FAVE FIVE in no particular order and players who have graduated

(and I'm probally leaving someone out)

Blake Mcgowan

Cam Thouraghman

Jon Van Hoose

Alex Barker

Drew Mcdavid

[thewalrus]

You know I thought it was later than Rose Hills big years but OJ Mayo and Marques Dawson were there in 03'. So I will add them. I will say Zach Guillum too.

Was the younger Zornes kid there in 03?

 

So far we have 13:

Blake Mcgowan

Cam Thouraghman

Jon Van Hoose

Alex Barker

Drew Mcdavid

Antonio Owens

Jonathan Vanhoose

Chad Jackson

Dakota Euton

Jonathan Ferguson

Zach Guillum

OJ Mayo

Marques Dawson

[shooterx3]

OJ, Dawson , and Gillum are great choices, I don't remember what year Joe went to Ironton but I'm sticking with my picks as the "top"five person team

due to the edge they got in coaching in their formative years:laugh:

Great list of playes so far.

A Few other players should be mentioned in my opinion....

Tyler Clark- he was so underrated his whole career, could take over a game

Casey Jones- average about 20 for two consecutive years and is playing pretty well at KCU

Isacc Greene- one of the smartest PG's the last couple of years, didn't score as much as some of the others on this list, but was an all around tough player

Faulkner twins

Blandon Clemons

Steven Kidd if applicable, not sure when he graduated.

Furman at Rowan

 

If I had to pick a top 5 by position I'd say

G-OJ Mayo, hands down the best that has been through these parts in a long time

G- Tyler Clark, not the D-1 prospect that some of these players are, but he could really take over a game

F- Marques Dawson, just dominated

F- Drew McDavid, he wasn't the flashiest player, but you'd look at the stat sheet and he'd have 16 points and 12 rebounds

C-Blake McCowan- Most complete post player in this area since Mark Surgalski

 

Talent/Potential wise I'd say: OJ, Marques, Chad Jackson, Antonio Owens, and Dakota Euton

[$$East-Bank$$]

Jared Fergason-Russell, just a player that comes to mind that no one has mentioned.

I made the thread for great players. It is being used in a very broad way here. I should clear this up. Thread title- The Top 15 Players in the 16th 2003-Present because the only trully great player to come through has been OJ Mayo. The Faulkners are good, solid players that are fun to watch but are not Great.

Personally, if you want the top 15 from 2003 to present, there is no way you can leave out Ethan Faulkner. JMO.

[lewiscoref]

I would also have to agree with Tyler Clark. He was very fun to watch and had the ability to take over just about any game. Although he didnt play much beyond high school, he was very capable of doing it. He nearly took the Lions to the regional finals by himself. He played in probably one of the best double-overtime semi-final games ever his senior year. Very good player.:ylsuper:

Yeah, I understand that. And you have them in a 3 team format. Meaning you need 3 point gaurds. I don't think there has been 3 come through the region better than him in that time frame :thumb:
