Class of 2006 - Martin County Top Five (by position)
Several area high school coaches have suggested that Derek is the best pure point guard in the county. His unselfish passing continues to improve. He can stroke the ball with a combination of moves and is learning to penetrate and kick. His foot speed will have to improve for continued success. David has an immediate impact on the game. A nice jumper, no fear taking the ball to the basket, and an excellent defender. His defense overshadows his offensive capabilities. He needs to work on his passing to become more effective. Brennen will win the hustle award where ever he goes. He dives after the ball, great defender, shows a good outside shot, and handles the ball well. His forte, rebounding! This kid will get one. He will play a 3 spot, but for now the boards are his. This kid can score! His size hinders his footwork a bit, but he can definitely GO. Expectations will be high on him as he progresses. T.J. has a few things going for him, his legs. This kid can get up and down the floor. He has the capability to make things happen. His quickness on the break and adequate dribbling makes him a presence in the half court as well. Once he becomes less timid offensively, he will be a true force. He has a natural ability to get the offensive rebound and his shooting is improving. Jimmy is a hoss without a doubt. He is continually polishing his inside moves. He has developed quite an array of up and under moves to keep many a player guessing just what he is going to do with the ball. Hopefuly, he can continue to improve. Other top players
Guard - Brendan McCarthy - 5'6", South Fork High School
He has skills, he just has to keep his head in the game. Good leaper and athletic. He is a guard, not a post player. Post - Cory New - 6'0", South Fork High School He has come a long way. Excellent rebounder and capable offensively. He needs to work on being consistent. Guard - Stuart Smith - 5'9, Martin County High School Strange mechanics for a jump shot, but it goes in. He needs to work on his foot speed. Stuart is predictable on offense relying on his left hand, but still manages to score. He can handle the ball, but needs to work on both hands. Guard - Noah Zazulia - 6'0", Martin County High School He has a nice shot and good guard capabilities. He will have to work on his shot release as it takes a bit long to get the shot off. Excellent defender.
