Velma Jackson’s Weatherspoon one of state’s top players
SUMMARY: Quinndary Weatherspoon, a player from Velma Jackson in Mississippi, is considered one of the top three basketball players in the state for the class of 2015. Although he may seem stoic on the court, Weatherspoon is a skilled scorer and shooter, averaging 17 points, 6 rebounds, and nearly 3 steals per game. His 6-10 wingspan makes his shots difficult to block, and his athleticism allows him to often overpower opponents. Weatherspoon has received numerous scholarship offers from schools like Mississippi State, Murray State, and Tennessee, but his focus remains on achieving team goals before personal accolades.

SUMMARY: Canton’s back-to-back 5A state championship win remains surreal for the team, especially after a tough 2-6 start to the season. Despite losing a key player, they are ready to face the challenges of moving to 6A next season with a young, talented team. Reflecting on his time at Canton, Mississippi State recruit, and MVP of the previous year, Jamarion Davis-Fleming remembers the hard work and team bonding. In the championship, despite making just one shot, he contributed with defense, leadership, and unselfish play. Teammates like point guard TJ Hoskin and Braylen Reaves stepped up, helping secure the victory.
