That's where I started watching him play as well. It seems like he can do it all and having a well rounded player such as that would be an asset to any team. JJ will be a tremendous player as well. The Johnson brothers are just amazing athletes for their age. Time will only serve to help these boys improve. Holmes should have the state championship this year.

Holmes should definetly be one of the heavier favorites, but there's a few other teams who will be right there with them.

Scott Co with Guyn, Euton, Jackson, Manning, and Ivery/Flannery will be pretty tough. They also will be much deeper this year than this past year.

Eastern with Abell, Thomas, Marks, Gaines, and Woods will also be very tough to beat next year. They have size (Thomas 6'1, Abell 6'2, Marks 6'3, Gaines 6'4, Woods 6'6) and will be one of the most athletic teams in the state. I personally think Eastern is Holmes biggest threat next year. They have the personnel to match Holmes athleticism.

The one thing that separates Holmes from a lot of the other teams is their size. Not only do they have very talented players with athleticism, but they also have great size. It's already been made official that Demetrius Avery will not be at Conner next year. All signs point to him being at Holmes next year but only time will tell. With him you'd see Holmes roll out the following starting lineup:

Avery (6'3), R. Johnson (6'5), J. Johnson (6'5), Rice (6'6), Pittman (6'8)

I just really don't see how anyone in the state can match up with them with that kind of size and athleticism in both the front and backcourt.
