Coach Patrick Holmes‘ EYBL Scholastic League power makes its second City of Palms appearance in three years – and its third overall since 2014. Returning 6-3 SR Devin Cleveland (9.5 ppg, 2.0 apg while shooting 47 percent from 3-point range against elite competition) will join forces with Indiana commit 6-4 SR Chase Branham (21.5 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 3.1 apg, 2.2 steals at Logan-Rogersville MO) and 6-2 SR Joshua Tyson (16.3 ppg, 3.8 apg, 3.7 rpg, 2 steals at Lakota West OH, on 63 percent shooting) to form one of the nation’s most dangerous backcourts. Branham guided Logan-Rogersville (29-3) to its first Missouri state championship since 1982. … Other new arrivals include 6-5 SR Kingston Thomas (14.6 ppg, 5.7 rpg at East Lansing MI), University of San Diego commit 6-9 SR Jeffrey Hassan (15.2 ppg, 11.4 rpg, 4.8 blocks at Maple Park Kaneland IL) and Australian import 6-11 SR Alex Mabbott and 6-4 SR Connor Brown (21.5 ppg, 12.7 rpg, 2.0 blocks at North Farmington MI), as well as two French prospects that include 6-7 JR Mathias Fabien. … La Lumiere’s debut game at the City of Palms was a 61-46 win over Austria’s DC Timberwolves in the 2014 Signature Series.
