2024 Tyler Whitehurst (Riverside-Martin): Whitehurst is a 6’0 guard that showed his ability to knock down shots with range, score and create well, and be a leader on the court.

But the 6’0 point guard was electric with the ball in his hands, showing his speed, his ability to create, and most importantly, his understanding of the game. He is a young guard...
