Decatur 68 – Milton 64 OT
Decatur:
2026 Tobias Brinkley II (Decatur/Tulane commit) stepped into the spotlight as the clear go-to option in the win, delivering when his team needed him most. The 6’6 wing consistently used his length and athleticism to create advantages, attacking off the bounce and getting downhill with purpose. He finished strong at the rim, embracing contact and converting through traffic. Beyond his scoring, Brinkley’s versatility stood out, as he impacted the game in multiple areas and filled different roles throughout the night. His ability to influence the game all over the court continues to show why he’s such a valuable piece moving forward.
2026 Bryce Howson (Decatur) turned in an impressive performance, playing a major role in the team’s success. Offensively, he was tremendous at creating off the bounce, consistently getting defenders on his hip and attacking with control and confidence. Howson repeatedly got into the paint, finishing at the rim and putting pressure on the defense throughout the game. What made his showing even more impactful was his playmaking, as he did an excellent job finding teammates and dishing out eight assists. His ability to balance scoring and facilitating made him a constant problem and a key piece in the win.
2026 Jason Welborn II (Decatur) was another guard who stepped up in a big way, delivering a strong performance with 14 points. He consistently created his own offense, doing a great job of getting to his spots off the bounce and using his handle to generate space. Welborn showed confidence in key moments, knocking down timely shots and helping maintain momentum throughout the game. His ability to create separation and score when needed made him an important contributor in the win.
Milton:
2027 Solomon Bratton (Milton) continues to impress with the overall impact he brings to the floor. With his strong frame and developing skill set, he affects the game in a variety of ways, drawing comparisons to players like Ezra Ausar in how he blends physicality, versatility, and production. Bratton plays with relentless energy on the glass, consistently attacking rebounds and creating extra opportunities. He’s a powerful scoring presence in the paint, finishing through contact and establishing position, but he also shows the ability to step out and stretch the floor when needed. His motor, toughness, and expanding offensive game make him a prospect trending in the right direction.
2027 Jackson Harrison (Milton) is a player college coaches should be checking out more. Harrison is a true offensive weapon, particularly with his ability to stretch the floor and open things up for his team. He shoots the ball with confidence and consistency, especially from beyond the arc, where he can knock down threes in rhythm or under pressure. His perimeter presence forces defenses to adjust and creates spacing that benefits the entire offense. With his size on the wing and proven shooting ability, Harrison looks like a college-level prospect in Georgia who continues to trend upward.
