Panthers At A Glance
One of the Volunteer State’s proudest programs under 11th-year head coach Dion Real makes its first trip to Fort Myers with a blue-chip duo of “super sophs.” Middle-school games in Memphis featuring Elmore Park teammates 6-6 SOPH D.J. Okoth (10.7 ppg, 50% shooting, 34% from three, 6.1 rpg) and cerebral point guard 6-0 SOPH Braylon Williams (12.7 ppg, 4.1 apg, 2.7 rpg) attracted Div. I coaches and overflow crowds during a 65-game winning streak, and they helped the Panthers to within two games of a state-tournament appearance as ninth-graders. The most important returning piece, however, is 6-6 JR Dylan Jones (15.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg), who had a breakout summer on the Nike EYBL 16U circuit and is poised for a monster high school season. … Bartlett upset state powers Owasso (Okla.) 60-54 and Calvary Baptist (La.) 75-68 on back-to-back nights at last December’s “Battle in the Bluff.”
