Superior Plumbing all-tournament at LCC
The Superior Plumbing bracket of the WellStar Lake City Classic was jam-packed with talent. Picking all-tournament players was no easy task. That said, Spain Park (AL) won the championship because of a pair of MVP level players.
SUPERIOR PLUMBING MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
Jamal Johnson, SG, Hoover (AL) Spain Park, SOPH: It only took one game to become a fan favorite at the LCC. Johnson, a 6-foot-4 do-everything guard, showed off the full arsenal and was the best overall player in the event. He scored, rebounded, passed, defended and won. Terrific three-game effort from the talented sophomore.
SUPERIOR PLUMBING ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM
Austin Wiley, C, Hoover (AL) Spain Park, SOPH: No one owned the paint better than the 6-foot-10 stud. He was an animal on the glass and led the tournament in rebounds. Wiley has the strongest hands of any player we've seen this season and gobbled up everything that came off the rim. He's quite skilled in the post offensively and had to work for his buckets against comparable size at the LCC. Overall, though, he was terrific and earned his overall MVP award from the tournament.
Richard Gaines, SF, Louisville (KY) Pleasure Ridge Park, SR: Easily the biggest surprise of the tournament to the Peach State crowd. Gaines was on constant attack mode to the rim and used his burst and athleticism to challenge defenders. He was a constant 20-point, 10-rebound performer at the LCC.
Montae Glenn, PF/C, Carrollton (GA), SR: Simple, efficient and to the point. That was the tune for the Georgia Southern bound big man. Glenn focused on his strengths - scoring in the paint, rebounding and putting a body on the opposition.
Garrick DeBowles, PF, Marietta (GA) Pope, SR: We've seen it for months now so it didn't come as a big surprise that the all-energy, super athletic forward shined at the LCC. He was as versatile as a four man there was in the event and provided the fans with some of the best highlights over the course of three games.
Chase Hutchins, SG, Marietta (GA) Pope, SR: One of Georgia's true gamers, the Georgia College bound guard helped lead the Greyhounds to the championship game of the Superior Plumbing bracket. Hutchins scored time and time again with an aggressive dribble drive and poise from the free throw line. He was also one of the best rebounding guards in the event.
