Preseason top 10

4. Jeffersontown:

Jeffersontown had defeated Eastern two times last season, when the two met in Region 7 championship game. The third time was a charm for Eastern, as they defeated the Chargers 54-66 and went on to the KHSAA Sweet 16 in Rupp Arena. Despite the loss, Jeffersontown coach Jeff Morrow has the talent to make another run, including one of the states top prospects Aaron Cosby.

The Chargers have one of the best back courts in the state. They return five quality guards, including Thomas Jackson, who will run the point. The 5-foot-9 senior-to-be averaged over 14 points per game as a junior. He is one of the top point guard prospects in the state. Jackson has scholarships offers from Georgia State, Wright State and North Carolina A&T.

The lefty is very quick and athletic. He can hit the mid range jumper and he is great at getting to the basket and scoring or getting fouled. He also has experience on his side. He helped lead the Chargers to the state tournament in 2008 as a sophomore.

Joining him in the back court will be Cosby. Cosby averaged also averaged over 14 points per game as a junior. Cosby is one of the top candidates to win the 2010 Mr. Basketball award. He currently holds 10 scholarship offers.

Cosby is a great shooter. He can hit the three or drive to the basket and use his athletic ability to score.

The other three back court player are 5-foot-11 Russell Dillard, 5-foot-11 Sam Tolliver and 6-foot-0 Desmond Dorsey. Dillard and Tolliver will be seniors next season, while Dorsey will just be a sophomore.

Dorsey is the one to watch. He started several games this season and he's one of the top players in the class of 2012.

The only question mark is the front court. Jeffersontown losses one of the states top centers in 6-foot-10 Jordan Reeves. Reeves, who will college ball at the University of Texas at Arlington, provided an inside presence that no one else in Region 7 had. He could score down low and he was a great defender.

Replacing him won't be easy but the top candidates to do so are 6-foot-3 Trey Porter and 6-foot-3 Daniel Ross. Porter will be a senior next season, while Ross while be a sophomore.

There's no question, Jeffersontown has the talent to win the Region 7 championship and maybe even the state championship.
