The field is one thing. The fact that he thought to honor Mr. Turner is even better.

Who is John Turner?

Ronnie Rousseau- Winton Woods PG: It took him a little while to get going but Rousseau showed a glimpse Saturday of what CPHR had been expecting after such a dominant summer in AAU. Ronnie showed improved understanding of how to score over bigger defenders by using change of speed and direction, as well as a nice new step-back move, to create room to finish or shoot his pure jumper.

 

 

Martin Jones- ’14 Winton Woods SF: Jones has put himself squarely on the map as a small forward as he has transitioned from a skilled post to a big strong wing. Jones was stroking the three ball all weekend and is starting to show some ballhandling ability as well. If he keeps up his current level of play expect Martin to play a big role at Winton Woods this season

 

 

 

 

 

Trent Donald- Winton Woods PF: Playing in his old HS gym Donald took advantage of familiar territory. What sticks out about Trent right now is his slimmed down physique which has added another level of quickness to him as he attacks defenders out of the high post.

 

 

 

 

Will Cox- ’13 Princeton C: One of the best athletes in the state at 6'6 CPHR always knew that Cox, who was the slam dunk contest runner up, could jump. This weekend he showed that he might be worthy of a role on the Viking squad as he showed a high motor getting up and down the court and finished around the rim with good consistency. If he can continue to improve his skills Cox could become a standout player very soon.

 

 

Malcolm Smith- Princeton SG: Put on a scoring display Saturday as he was simply too much for his opponents off the dribble. Smith scored at the rim and showed his usual consistency from behind the arc. Several Division II college coaches commented on his improvement and believe that he is one of Ohio's top sleeper prospects in '12.

 

aDorian Jordan- Princeton PG: Speaking of making teammates better, no one makes their teammates look as good as Dorian. In transition he has such a keen understanding of speed and space that he can wait till the perfect time to deliver a pass to a cutting teammate. Jordan also is shooting the ball with a lot more confidence from deep, as he will need to do with opposing teams backing off him due to his quickness.

Eric Tivis- Princeton SF: A talented prospect that is a little under the radar, after missing last season, Tivis was the talk of the crowd on Saturday. He scored well over 20 points and impressed CPHR with his improving skill set. Tivis is long, athletic, and attacks the rim under control. His three point shot has improved and his handle is getting to the point that he will become a legit guard prospect. Could have a breakout year for the deep and talented Vikings.

 

 

Princeton is loaded with talent, they are ranked in the top 10 in the state of Ohio. Will get info on g-town and others but the two top ohio teams at the event are Winton Woods and Princton. I got this off of cinyprepshoops. they have alot of info on Ohio b-ba

One of the best ever to come out of NKY.

The 9th region produced three Louisville Cards in 1957.

This day of basketball is going to be a good one!

Mixed bag of Ohio schools, from really, really bad to really, really good. I like the premise of the event, and I hope it continues to evolve. But, I don't see many competitive games here. You'll see some good teams, but seldom playing at the same time.

 

Game of the day on paper is Holy Cross and Maderia.

Solid field for this being the first year of the event.

 

Maybe in the future Coach Snapp can do something similar that Lloyd is doing and make it a 4 day tournament??
