Magnolia Heights proved to have too many weapons for Desoto School. Peyton Neal (6-4 ’18 F Magnolia Heights 12 pts 5-5 fg 5 reb 2 ast 2 blk) earned Player of the Game honors in limited minutes.

Tanner Woods (6-7 ’18 F/C Magnolia Heights 12 pts 3-5 fg 6-8 ft 4 reb) lived up the hype as one of the most solid college ready players in the state.

What a game. Logan Thompson (6-4 ’18 C Copiah Academy 2 reb 2 st) took the game winning charge to earn Player of the Game honors. Copiah Academy also had a few other stars contribute quality play. Dewey Shannon (6-4 ’19 G/F Copiah Academy 19 pts 2 3’s 10 reb 3 ast 3 blk 5 st) looks the part of a next level stud in the making and he quietly put up a next level stud stat line. Dalton Hayes (6-2 ’19 F Copiah Academy 10 pts 11 reb 4 ast 3 blk 3 st) had a strong defensive performance and a double-double. Josh Day (6-2 ’18 G Adams County Christian 25 pts 4-5 ft 20 reb 2 ast 4 st) did everything he possibly could in the losing effort. He put up the best stat line to in the last two days.
