Significant health outcome disparities continue to be fuelled by systemic and structural barriers in health care systems and COVID has amplified this. In order to address these inequities and implement practical and sustainable approaches to mitigate them, stakeholders at all levels (students, trainees, faculty, clinicians, researchers, and administrators) must develop a strong understanding of what the barriers and their consequences are, and the knowledge and insight to develop tools to address them in their day to day practice.
This 10-part digital series promotes the integration of EDI-related considerations in research design and practices to achieve a more equitable, diverse and inclusive health care system. Led by academics, clinician-scientists, EDI practitioners and social justice advocates, the series examines various aspects of current and emerging priorities in health care focused on pediatric health. The series explores how the application of inclusive best practice, and a focus on the social determinants of health, not only highlights issues of disparity but is essential to develop frameworks to increase access, remove barriers and improve health outcomes.
This series starts on March 18, 2021 and will run for 10 sessions over 4 months. Each session will be held on Thursdays bi-weekly from 2pm-4pm ET (Toronto) from March 18 to July 22.
This program is designed for researchers from multiple disciplines looking to frame their medical and health research through an equity, diversity and inclusion lens. It will also be of benefit to healthcare professionals seeking to explore equity, diversity and inclusion practices to improve their practice and engagement.

Enhance their sensitivity to issues of health equity and inequity and understand the importance of EDI to equitable pediatric health outcomes
About Dialogues in Diversity
Dialogues in Diversity is a series of conversations among leading academics, EDI practitioners, and social justice advocates discussing equity, diversity and inclusion across a wide spectrum of topics. Developed by the Research Institute of the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and presented in collaboration University of Toronto, the series provides practical ideas and actionable insights to integrate EDI into practices and approaches across the health care ecosystem.
Centering EDI in Medical Research is the second in the Dialogues series launched in 2020. The 2021 edition follows the wildly successful first series, Explorations of the EDI Implications of COVID-19, which offered critical insights and analysis around the social, economic and cultural inequities exacerbated by COVID-19.
This series exceeded my expectations. Please don't drop the ball on this as time passes - it is going to be crucial to keep pressing for reforms
Just to say that this session was one of the best virtual presentations that I have seen ... first time that I have evaluated "Strongly agree" right down the line!
It was excellent, really well led with great time management. More please
I've attended numerous virtual educational webinars, this one was particularly well-done, very comprehensive and engaging speakers --on a topic I previously knew little about, I can say that I now well aware of, thank you.
This series made me think of things I had not considered before. Thank you
Please reach out to ask.edi@sickkids.ca for any questions or comments you may have.

Pre-qualifying for city elections starts Monday
With pre-qualifying for this year's municipal election beginning Monday, three more residents have announced their intent to seek council seats in Districts 2 and 5.
The qualifying period for candidates begins at 7:30 a.m. on July 5, and concludes July 8 at noon.
Since those dates coincide with a holiday, the city is offering a pre-qualifying period that runs from 7:30 a.m., Monday, June 27, though noon Friday, July 1. Documents received during the pre-qualifying period will not be processed by the City Clerk's office until the official qualification period begins, according to the city's website.
As of Friday, no candidates had declared in District 3. Karie Rathburn had previously announced her intention to run for the seat, but withdrew on June 6.
The District 3 seat is currently held by Bill Deile.
Dan Sheppard joins an already crowded District 2 race, where incumbent Pete Brandt hopes to retain his seat. John Caroscia, John Miehle and Joe Coviello have also announced their intent to run.
Shepherd, 48, is a regular fixture during public comment at city council meetings and has been a Cape resident since 1998.
He said Friday that his mission as a councilman, if elected, would be to continue acting as an advocate for the citizens. Sheppard said that he was instrumental in getting an ordinance passed that allowed people to plant Royal Palms in their front yards, as well "getting things changed" so citizens could landscape their medians. He said 22 medians have been beautified and more are in the works.
"I want to keep the ball rolling and I thought if I ran for office I'd be able to do more than I'm doing now," Sheppard said.
Although he does not have a website or any campaign announcement planned as of yet, Sheppard said citizens can reach him at 633-1584 if they have questions for him.
"I want to strive to make the Cape a better place," he added.
Meanwhile, the District 5 race has been joined by two newcomers, Rana Erbrick and Charles Stanton. Previously, Richard Leon was the only announced candidate.
That District 5 position is currently held by Erick Kuehn.
Stanton, 54, has been a Cape Coral resident since 1964, he said.
He has no immediate plans for an official campaign kick-off or announcement, but said that economic development and the utilities expansion project would feature heavily in his campaign efforts.
He said he got into this year's race because he finally has the time to dedicate to moving Cape Coral forward.
"I'm retired now so I have the time to devote to it," he said.
Meanwhile, Erbrick, 52, has been a full time Cape Coral resident since 2005.
She currently sits on the Financial Advisory Committee and was a former president of the New Residents Club. She also currently serves as a volunteer at City Hall.
Erbrick said she was compelled to run, in large part, because of the way city council members treat each other and the public. With no "voice of reason" on the dais, she said, there's little chance of moving the city forward in any positive way.
She also said the mayor's recent challenge of resident and District 2 candidate John Miehle during public comment was also a deciding factor.
"If you don't have a board that's getting along, if they're just snapping back and forth, you can't have good decisions," she said. "You have to create that dialogue with the public and you can't stay stuck on A and B. You need to get to C at some point."
An official campaign announcement is due soon from Erbrick, but she's already launched a web page and a facebook page: rana4council.com and rana4council/facebook.
Candidates that have already announced in District 7 include Richard Holler, David Stokes, Erica Nicole Warren and Michael Garr.
The District 7 seat is currently held by Derrick Donnell.

As the day is snowy and slushy I thought I'd take a moment to talk weight-loss, Dear Reader, and if you're a regular to these discussion you know when I talk weight-loss I'm giving you the hard view, the annoying well-informed anecdotes and focus more on sustaining healthy habits and weight. If you're here for advice on losing weight in any gimmicky form or for shortcuts then trundle along, Jack is tired and there are so many conversation to be had. A quick one, today, Dear Reader, not very in-depth, just an interesting re-frame to an idea I've discussed often.
Since I've started the greater work of the garden the more labour intensive start, I'm still marvelling at the different the surgery and subsequent healing has made, still waiting for the next letter, but let's not go there, I'm reminded of advise we all know: Life with your knees. Which in thinking on I realised I don't actually understand it fully, so I went researching, I found the advise that the backside goes out while the knees stay put. The knees lower, but you don't squat. Which really works well and saves the back. What, you're thinking, Jack see all, Dear Reader, has this to do with weight-loss or healthy eating?Everything! Or nothing, depends on what you're focusing on.
Think first of the advice we all know, much like lifting with the knees, eating well has it many examples, plenty of fibre, water, five fruit and vegetables day etc, but when it comes to the execution of those practices we falter because don't have the full picture, much like lifting we hear, but don't understand and again, like the knee advice, when it finally comes to a point we need it we can feel that we should know this and don't start the important task of researching and learning. Partly it's conceit, we're all prone to varying degrees of vanity and asking for help or even admitting a lack of knowledge can be embarrassing. It isn't helpful where many promoters of healthy eating are crafting an all-knowing, easy-to-do image, Jack isn't bitter, I just know that's not, nor has it ever been, never will either, my space. So, we, metaphorically, strain our backs instead of bowing our heads and admitting we know less than we thought. I've always said hat I know I know very little, but I can, and have, learned. I took a lack of confidence and turned it to a strength.
So, the first hurtle is admitting we don't know, you pass that by simple truth, I don't know, but I can learn, the second is putting the work in, in both researching the real answers, not the easy ones and then applying them, which can be extremely difficult as you will meet resistance in yourself and, worse still, others. I always say my journey was a solo one, that is probably part of the reason, I don't ever advice doing everything secretly, but oversharing can be detrimental too.
From an unrelated piece of advice, which I will be endeavouring to follow, I'm extremely tall and have no intention of doing any further damage to my back, I'm free from back pain for the first time in twenty years and I'm not undoing that, Dear Reader, mark my words, we find an anecdote for sustained weight-loss and healthy eating, both sides of the same coin. It's always simple sounding advice, isn't it, Dear Reader? That in itself is telling of its worth. The humble acorn becomes a tree, I saw that in a cartoon, I'm very cultured. Until later, Dear Reader, I'm off to haul stupidly heavy pots in the best posture possible…to the wheelbarrow because I'm learning. Until later, take care.


Monday Night Football Picks NFL analysis: It what will be the last regular season game ever in Candlestick Park as the San Francisco 49ers look to clinch a playoff spot as they host the Atlanta Falcons. They also look to stay alive for a chance at their 3rd straight NFC West title in week 17.
It's hard to believe that with the record Atlanta has this season, they were playing the 49ers last year in the NFC championship. The Falcons are 4-10 and since their bye week are 3-6. Injuries have done this team in and since the injury to wide receiver Julio Jones, the Falcons season seemed to spiral out of control. Quarterback Matt Ryan has completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 3887 yards with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and has also been sacked 34 times. Steven Jackson leads the team in rushing with 449 yards and has struggled to stay healthy this year. Harry Douglas leads the team in receptions and receiving yards with 73 receptions for 963 yards as Roddy White has also struggled with injuries. There's also Tony Gonzales, who is playing in his last year, is second on the team with 71 receptions, and has 740 yards and 7 touchdowns. The offense ranks 16th in the league in total offense with 262.2 yards passing and 79.3 yards rushing per game. The defense is ranked near the bottom of the league, allowing 254 yards passing and 131 yards rushing per game.
San Francisco currently sits at 10-4 and holds the #6 seed for the playoffs. The 49ers have won four games in a row, and are coming off a 33-14 road victory at Tampa Bay. The offense looks to be rounding into shape, as the return of Michael Crabtree has definitely made a difference. Crabtree made his return in week 13, and has made an immediate impact with 153 yards and averaging 13.9 yards per reception. The return of Crabtree, along with the presence of Anquan Boldin (958 yds) and Vernon Davis (805 yds) has made life a little easier for quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Frank Gore leads a potent rushing attack that is 5th in the league averaging 137.8 yards per game. The defense continues to play at a high level. The 49ers are ranked 3rd in the league in total defense, allowing only 199.7 yards passing and 99.4 yards rushing per game.
It will be an emotional night in San Francisco, as it will be the final game played in Candlestick Park. I can't really imagine the Falcons giving the 49ers any kind of trouble here. The 49ers also know they need to take care of business with Arizona winning at Seattle on Sunday. Should they lose this game, the game next week at Arizona would present a 'win and you're in' scenario for either team. I don't think that's happening Monday night. Atlanta has issues, they can't run the ball effectively, and they face one of the top defenses in the league here. Their defense is also atrocious, so it could be a heavy dose of the running game. There's no trap game here, the 49ers know if they win they'll be in the playoffs, and I expect that to be the outcome in on Monday night.

Believe in learners. Education that empowers people, empowers society.
By Ryan Stowers
December 17, 2020 | 06:00pm
Ryan Stowers
For too many people, a poor education is a destructive barrier in their lives—a source of limitation rather than opportunity. Together, we can change this.
Education should fuel lifelong learning that encourages every individual to discover, develop, and deploy their unique aptitudes to improve their life and society.
To improve education, we need more approaches that are individualized — based on a student's aptitudes and interests.
We can make a difference by empowering people to create bottom-up solutions that help individuals unlock their potential.
An inspiring reality of humanity is that every individual has extraordinary potential. Each person has unique talents and abilities independent of external factors like household income or family life. But all too often our outdated notion of what education should look like, and its purpose, prevents learners from discovering their gifts, identifying their aptitudes, and understanding how they can create value in society in their unique way.
The consequences are serious. Consider these facts:
Student loan debt stands at $1.6 trillion+ — and is growing.
61% of graduates would go back and change their major if they could.
Only a third of students at four-year institutions believe they will graduate with the skills and knowledge to be successful in the workplace
The current approach to postsecondary education is not working for everyone. We shouldn't be surprised. The two- and four-year degree models that define our postsecondary education system were built for a different time and place, and our failure to innovate in anticipation of learners' evolving needs and interests has set up millions of people for disappointing life outcomes.
We need to change how we think and act about the role of education, full stop.
This means we stop thinking about education in terms of deeply flawed proxies for learning — like degrees, diplomas, seat time, and credits — and start thinking about the tools that empower outcomes like lifelong learning, demonstrable skills, fulfillment, and service to others. The learner must develop the agency to drive and create their own pathway based on who they are as they push the boundaries of their potential.
Let's challenge everything we think we know about education and be willing to take risks rather than continuing to tweak at the margins. We can't afford to fall back on old and flawed assumptions.
Believing in learners means pivoting away from the top-down solutions that have shaped postsecondary education in the past.
At the Charles Koch Foundation, we're inspired by the exceptional faculty we support at colleges and universities across the nation. These partners generate new ideas and solutions that are applied to society's most pressing challenges. They produce groundbreaking academic research, and help students develop a passion for learning about and engaging with a diversity of ideas.
Such scholarship and mentorship will continue to be critical pieces of the Foundation's giving. But we won't stop there. If our vision is to remove the barriers preventing people from reaching their potential, we have to invest in transforming how our society thinks, talks about, and understands education itself.
That's why our foundation is using this principle to guide our efforts: We believe in learners.
Believing in learners means pivoting away from the top-down solutions that have shaped postsecondary education in the past. It requires a belief in a multiplicity of bottom-up solutions that fuel passion for lifelong learning and uncover each student's unique aptitudes, resulting in better outcomes for all learners.
The solutions we're seeking to support can be characterized by 3 Ds:
Discover. Individuals must discover their unique talents and abilities in order to get the most value from them, both personally and as a member of society. New, innovative solutions and programs need to support learners throughout that discovery process.
Develop. When people begin to understand who they are and the extent of their capabilities, they can begin to turn that knowledge into valued skills. That development must be as rigorous and individual as the person.
Deploy. Learners deploy, or apply, their knowledge and aptitudes in a way that creates value for themselves and for others in society, and in doing so they help society improve.
There is a growing number of social-change entrepreneurs who share the principles and perspective that animate our vision. They are breaking down traditional barriers in education with new, innovative solutions that help all learners reach their potential. These leaders have figured out how to effectively challenge the status-quo and demonstrate that we can do better for students now and for future generations. Our job as a philanthropy is to empower these leaders and innovations to drive real change.
Believing in a one-size-fits-all, standardized approach will not transform education. Believing in and empowering learners will.
Ryan Stowers is executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation, which supports scholars and social entrepreneurs who are leading programs and research that will help every person realize their potential.

GPA attributes "30 million Euros ferry maintenance" hype to media error
Bubacarr Komma — January 10, 2022 add comment
By Bubacarr Komma January 10, 2022
Gambia Ports Authority Ferry
In what was generally construed as wasteful spending following its publication, the management of the Gambia Ports Authority recently decided to distance itself from the story of the so-called, 30 million Euros refurbishment of its fleet of ferries.
Some people questioned the wisdom of spending this colossal sum of money on refurbishment instead of using this money to procure new ferries. However, GPA reacted by posting on their Facebook Page: "The amount quoted is correct, but the currency is wrong should have been reported as Dalasis not Euros. The error is inadvertent on the side of the journalist who carried the story.
It's true that all 3 ferries are being refitted with new engines and propulsion systems to improve their technical suitability to provide a more reliable service. Hence their progressive withdrawal for the engine installation by local engineering staff. There will be disruptions in service, but the understanding of our customers and the travelling public is solicited as we strive to improve performance".
GPA further attached a screenshot of the article which was published by Sulayman Wann August 24, 2021.

SF Pride 2018: Aria Sa'id, Winner of the '10 Years of Service' Award
"The Trump administration has been very vocal about stripping away rights and laws that affirm trans people — and it's very odd, because 10 years ago, no one even mentioned the word 'transgender' at all," Aria Sa'id says. "So now that the word is banned at the CDC, and people are actually uttering the word, it feels like progress. Even if they are stripping away rights legislatively, socially there's much more progress."
That's the upside-down, George Carlin-esque state of public health in America, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also banned "diversity," "fetus," "science-based," and several other terms last year. But Sa'id, founder and director of the Kween Culture Initiative, knows from experience that progress is not linear.
The LGBT Policy Adviser for San Francisco's Human Rights Commission, Sa'id is an out trans woman who's been active in the forthcoming Compton's TLGB District — the creation of which SF Weekly covered in last year's Pride issue — legislative fights on behalf of intersex children in California, and in the general push for gender-neutral public restrooms. But just as well-publicized pushback against transphobia at the federal level indicates a growing recognition of the difficulties transgender Americans face in their regular lives, small successes at the local level can have consequences, too. Sa'id, who is candid about her struggles with depression, says that achieving the positive sometimes requires emphasizing the negative.
"I was doing these empowerment speeches and keynotes," she says, "and every time, I have to bring up violence, stigma, unemployment, harassment, and the fact that trans women are disenfranchised and marginalized. I feel like I have to do that every day, in order to get people's attention."
It started to feel as though hammering the point home had the unfortunate byproduct of discouragement among her peers.
"I was sharing it with other trans people: 'Who wants to own that, every single day?' That's a reality that we face, but that's not who we are," she says. "I was never in spaces where I heard that trans women were beautiful or resilient or powerful; I was just hearing sort of the highlights of our despair."
So Sa'id created the Kween Culture Initiative, a peer-led group dedicated to cultural enrichment and health equity. The idea is for trans women to show each other the way — especially people who may not know much about trans history. But the organization punches above its weight, too.
"Many of the surgeons that operate on trans women are not formally trained" in the specifics of transgender health care, Sa'id says. "How you learn, in theory, is you shadow a surgeon — and so many surgeons are shadowing for a couple of weeks, then doing surgeries. So many girls are having to have four or five revision surgeries to correct mistakes.
"Currently," she adds, "the powers that be that oversee standardization of transgender medicine and health care are all cisgender white men who are surgeons themselves."
So rather than wait for the World Professional Association of Transgender Health to intervene, they're rallying to take action.
"When I had my surgery, they were kind of like, 'Oh, you're cured, goodbye!' There's no actual support and no education around being healthy."
Ten years after her own transition — begun when she was still in high school — SF Pride has recognized Sa'id's decade of work, which began when the only possibility models were on shows like Jerry Springer.
"Don't get me wrong, I love Jerry Springer," Sa'id says. "But that was the only narrative we saw. Now, you see trans women on social media.
"At the federal level, there has been a reversal of the few rights that we've already sort of developed during the Obama administration," she continues. "But there's also been state legislation that's affirmed people different ways, and socially we're more empowered. We have more jobs and employment and housing than I ever did 11 or 12 years ago. It's tricky."

Scottish Independence
Boris Johnson won't say if campaign released photo of partner after row
Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds pictured last year
Paris Gourtsoyannis
Boris Johnson has refused to say whether his campaign was behind a picture released showing him with his partner Carrie Symonds, as he continues to face questions about a row at her flat that saw police called by neighbours.
Mr Johnson said it was "simply unfair" to "drag" his loved ones into the political arena over the late-night quarrel in the early hours of Friday that has threatened to derail his campaign.
But on LBC Radio, he was repeatedly challenged over whether his campaign was behind the release of a picture of him with Ms Symonds in an attempt to show their relationship had not broken down.

Asked where the photograph had come from, Mr Johnson said: "The longer we spend on things extraneous to what I want to do ... the bigger the waste of time."
In testy exchanges, he said there are "all sorts of pictures of me out on the internet which pop up from time to time".
When host Nick Ferrari suggested his hairstyle indicated it was an old picture, he said: "This conversation is now descending into farce."
Mr Johnson had kept out of the public eye since the news broke on Friday about the row at the south London home he shares with Ms Symonds.
Police called by worried neighbours after his partner was heard screaming and shouting "get off me".
Mr Johnson's campaign attempted to step up a gear with a series of media appearances and events following claims he was a "coward" from leadership rival Jeremy Hunt for shying away from debates.
In his first interview since the incident, Mr Johnson told the BBC on Monday night: "I do not talk about stuff involving my family, my loved ones.
"And there's a very good reason for that. That is that, if you do, you drag them into things that ... in a way that is not fair on them."
On Brexit, Mr Johnson said "politics has totally changed" since March 29 and "we are staring down the barrel of defeat" which would focus minds in Parliament.
He told LBC: "People are looking at this thing and thinking 'Parliament is just not going to do this'. But, actually, I think they are."
Unemployment remains lower in Scotland than rest of UK
He said that "it is vital as a country that we get ready to come out without an agreement if we must" but argued that it would be "bizarre" for the European Union to impose tariffs on trade in that event if the two sides were looking at a future deal.
In his BBC interview, Mr Johnson called for "creative ambiguity" over the £39 billion cost of the UK's Brexit divorce deal, suggesting this could break the deadlock.
The former Vote Leave leader, who hopes to become prime minister, also called for a "commonsensical" no-deal Brexit to be left on the table to allow the "incubus" to be "pitchforked off the back of British politics".

Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd, who is supporting Mr Hunt, called on Mr Johnson to spell out the details of his Brexit plan.
"This is an incredibly difficult situation and Boris needs to explain how he will deal with both sides of the Conservative Party that have concerns and try and break the impasse with the European Union," she told BBC Radio 4's Today.
"Enthusiasm and optimism is not sufficient."

EditorialAspire To Inspire
What if Musicians Are Just Humans Too?
Kiera Miller March 29, 2016
Aspire To InspireEditorialFeatured
Two years ago a series called "Aspire to Inspire" surfaced on Your EDM. While the concept of the series is quite simple and nothing completely new to the music world, it aims to strengthen connection and inspire resilience and change among individuals. People in the music scene, from musicians and industry professionals to fans, share their stories of resilience – discussing specific challenges and/or barriers they have had to overcome in life like loss of a loved one, addiction, depression, bullying, career dilemmas, and financial challenges.
Participants have included The Chainsmokers, Dada Life, Laidback Luke, Arty, Lady Casa, and the founder of Electric Family. Since its first installment in March 2014, these individuals, along with many others, have shared their stories via articles or a 20-40 minute Google Hangout on Air interview session.
On Monday, March 21st at Miami's Winter Music Conference, Tony Junior, Shaun Frank, VASSY, and Sander Kleinenberg shared their stories with a standing room only crowd for the inaugural in-person Aspire to Inspire experience.

Dutch producer/DJ, Tony Junior, known for his hit "Nobody Beats The Fucking Drum" and his collaboration "Get Down" with Tiësto went first. He shared how he dropped out of school at the mere age of 12 and received flack for it from his peers. Throughout his life he has always been considered "weird" and different for the career path, clothing, and lifestyle he has chosen. Like many performing artists Tony is seen as a celebrity, but really he doesn't want the fame…he just wants to be a normal human being. He overcomes these challenges by releasing his emotions into his productions.

Canadian producer/DJ, Shaun Frank shared how he has been a musician for many years. He played guitar at a young age and even sang in a band that gained a lot of notoriety – The Envy. Upon signing with Gene Simmons' label, Simmons Records, Shaun became frustrated because he no longer had much creative freedom. He wouldn't let anyone hold him back so after a tough decision he left the band on good terms, and decided to pursue a solo career as an electronic music producer and DJ. He overcame these challenges by following his desire to do what he loves. Now he has become world-renowned for his hits "Shades of Grey" with Oliver Heldens and Delaney Jane and his most recent collaboration with DVBBS and Delaney on "La La Land".
Australian born singer/songwriter, VASSY, best known for her radio hits "Bad" with David Guetta and Showtek, and "Secrets" with Tiësto and KSHMR took the stage next. From a young age she always dreamed of pop stardom despite the lack of support she received very early on in her career. She also discussed what it was like losing her father to cancer at a young age, and the different phases of discovering her identity. She stressed the importance of believing in yourself and being authentic both in your professional and personal life.
Our final panelist was veteran producer/DJ, Sander Kleinenberg. He discussed what it was like to begin producing at the mere age of 15 and how his sound has evolved ever since. He also shared that his biggest challenge in life is being a perfectionist. He is never truly satisfied with his productions, but eventually has to come to terms with the result of his songs and release them. As a veteran in the scene he has had to learn how to evolve with the trendy sounds, but also maintain authenticity in both his DJ sets and productions. He has done exactly that with his recently successful remixes of Madonna's "Bitch I'm Madonna" featuring Nicki Minaj and Halsey's "Trouble", and his original "We Rock It" with Dev.
We are very happy with the result of the Aspire to Inspire panel at Winter Music Conference. Not only did great musicians share their stories, but the crowd was interactive as well. For instance, singer/songwriter Dawn Tallman from Bob Sinclair's hit, "Feel The Vibe" was in attendance and stressed the importance of all artists sharing their personal stories of what barriers they have had to overcome. We look forward to sharing the next Aspire to Inspire in-person experience with you! Stay tuned to find out where and when that will be.

GHSA standouts make their mark at Best of the South
July 18, 2016 KyleSandy
The HoopSeen travel ball circuit has come to a close. It was an exciting few months with plenty of storylines and valuable information that will help shape the 2016-17 GHSA basketball season. The Best of the South put a capper on the season, going out with a bang as some of Georgia's top blue-chippers and sleepers alike battled at the best live period event in the southeast.
16U: Georgia Bulls 63, Georgia Stars EYBL 53
The little engine that could, the Georgia Bulls, dominated the Georgia Stars and led wire to wire for one of their most impressive wins of the season beating the shoe circuit team. Deon Berrien (Lakeside-Augusta) got the Bulls off to a hot start against the bigger and more athletic Stars. Berrien, a 6-foot-6 forward that averaged 14.8 points and 13 rebounds as a junior, knocked down jumper after jumper to give the Bulls an early lead. He finished with 16 points and three steals, scoring 12 of his points in the first half.
Berrien along with Mike Dukes (Westminster-Augusta) battled against 6-foot-9, 260-pound Mohammed Abdulsalem (Greenforest) in the paint. Dukes, one of the fiercest competitors I've seen this summer, didn't back down from the challenge. The 6-foot-3 forward with a bulldog mentality came away with six points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Dukes' non-stop motor and quick leaping ability gave the Stars fits. He is a tough-nosed player that brings a burning desire to win to the table. He's a guy that you definitely want on your team.
The Stars trailed 29-9 in the first half before closing on a 9-0 run to enter the break down 29-18. Peachtree Ridge's Caleb Holifield got hot, knocking down two of his four threes. Holifield finished with a team-high 12 points all coming beyond the arc. Four-star 6-foot-5 guard Diante Woods out of Sacred Heart, AL was held to three points in the first half while 6-foot-6 rising junior Rashun Williams (Calhoun County) couldn't crack the score column.
In the second half, the Bulls continued to maintain their distance. Brad Hilley (Lakeside-Augusta) knocked down a pair of threes and finished with nine points and three assists in the game. The floor spacer hit timely threes when left open and is a valuable asset at the high school level.
Sophomore Kalen Williams scored seven of his 10 points in the second half after playing the role of facilitator in the opening 16 minutes. The 6-foot guard tallied five assists. He led Lakeside-Augusta in scoring as a freshman with 13.7 points and has improved his game as a passer and finisher at the rim.
Berrien picked up his fourth foul with 8:02 left and the Bulls leading 42-29. The Stars began to make their move and close the gap. The lengthy frontcourt started to wear on the smaller bulls as Abdulsalem, Jamari Smith (Jonesboro) and Williams pounded away at the glass. Abdulsalem posted 10 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Smith played above the rim, soaring for putbacks and collected a 9-point, 9-rebound performance. Williams scored all seven of his points in the second half and added eight boards. Woods slashed to the lane and got to the line. He finished tied for a team-high with 12 points.
The Stars' athleticism and full court press sped up the usually unflappable Bulls guards and closed the gap to 47-41 with 3:39 remaining. With all the momentum in the Stars' corner, Ryan Jolly (Augusta Prep) announced his presence. The 6-foot-1 rising junior who is the straw that stirs the drink for the Georgia Bulls took over. After a quiet first half saw him sink four free throws, the All-State GISA performer dissected the Stars. He finished through contact for an And-1 layup to stem the tide with 3:10 left and brought the Bulls' lead to seven points. He followed it up the next possession with a dagger three to push the lead back to 10.
When all was said and done, Jolly poured in a game-high 18 points – 14 coming in the final three minutes and some change. Ice water courses through Jolly's veins as the best closer I've seen in the 16U Division this summer. He hit seven free throws down the stretch and went 11-for-11 over the course of the game. Jolly needs to receive interest from LM-MM coaches before it's too late. Playing in the GISA, Jolly doesn't get the exposure he deserves. The pass-first playmaker has seized the opportunity on the big stage at Suwanee Sports Academy and has cashed in in a big way, earning the No. 16 ranking in HoopSeen's Georgia Class of 2018 rankings.
17U: Atlanta All-Stars 64, GA Stunners 53
The ultimate showdown of LM-MM sleepers in the state of Georgia took place at 11AM on Court 5 at Suwanee Sports Academy. This game was littered with guys I deemed as Under the Radar seniors such as Evan Cole (South Forsyth), Damion Rosser (Henry County) and Kane Williams (South Paulding). The trio did not disappoint.
The Atlanta All-Stars outside the Stunners at nearly every position, the All-Stars pulling kids from all over the metro Atlanta area while the Stunners stayed primarily in Paulding County, the lineup close to 90% filled with the South Paulding program.
The All-Stars led the whole way with Cole leading the early charge from the low block. The 6-foot-8 post went to work, scoring eight of his 10 points in the first half. His first three buckets all came with the left hand, ultra-impressive for a right-handed player. He showed a soft touch with a baby hook off the glass and even displayed nifty foot work going with a face up and spin off a defender. He pulled down eight rebounds and blocked two shots as well.
Henry County guards Javon Greene and Damion Rosser attacked the basket. Rosser netted a team-high 13 points while going 6-of-10 from the line and adding three rebounds and four assists. Greene went 5-of-8 from the stripe en route to 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists and a block. The duo is dynamic together with Rosser galloping to the hoop and Greene providing a deft stroke from three.
South Paulding's Kane Williams and JaCori Wilson kept the Stunners in it. Both lefties, Williams finished with 11 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal before injuring his ankle with a minute left in regulation. Wilson, a long 6-foot-7 scorer, poured in a game-high 15 points but saw his night end early fouling out halfway through the second half on a questionable call.
At the half the All-Stars led 34-24. The closest the Stunners got was 41-39 with 10:32 left after Wilson sank three free throws. Colby Leifson (North Gwinnett) drilled a big three to regain separation and the Stunners were never able to regain one-possession striking distance. Leifson knocked down two threes and finished with eight points.
Chris Freeman (McEachern) and Jandan Duggan (Greenforest) provided nice sparks for the Stunners throughout the game while the All-Stars honed in on Williams, using the length of Rosser and the quickness of Greene to try and slow him down. Freeman, a lanky 6-foot-2 guard, scored 13 points and got to the line taking seven free throws and hitting six in the second half. Duggan followed suite, scoring eight points and attempting eight free throws all in the final 16 minutes. DJ Jackson (South Paulding) is a nice leader for the Stunners. Pushing 5-foot-6, Jackson still managed to come away with five rebounds and three assists and did a nice job of staying in front of the All-Stars' taller guards.
Without question, the All-Stars' X-Factor in the second half was 6-foot-5 post Kovi Tate (Henry County). Tate brought great energy in the paint and scored nine of his 10 points in the second half. He flirted with a double-double as he ripped down a game-high nine boards. When he has the chance, Tate is a powerful finisher and the rim and a guy opponents must seek out to put a body on when he attacks the glass.
LM-MM coaches filled the seats for this one, most notably Georgia State was three-deep checking out a few guys they offered this weekend.
17U: Southern Stampede EYBL 70, Atlanta All-Stars 57
Blue-chippers vs. Blue-collared guys. That was the narrative surrounding the 17U Best of the South Championship. In the end, the Stampede overwhelmed the All-Stars with their firepower and proved why they are some of the best of the best in the state of Georgia even without superstar Collin Sexton.
The Stampede raced out to an 8-2 lead and never looked back, holding a double digit lead for the entirety of the first half. Jay Estime (Berkmar) banged home consecutive threes to set the tone. From there, Indiana-commit Al Durham started to sizzle, hitting everything he tossed up including banked-in jumpers and contested floaters off the glass. His night finished with 13 points, three rebounds and three assists.
The stage wasn't too big for Javon Greene. He scored eight of his 13 points in the first half to keep the All-Stars from getting blown out down 36-22 at the half. Greene filled the stat sheet with six boards and five steals against the Stampede's ballyhooed backcourt.
Consecutive buckets and stops were hard to come by for the All-Stars. The Stampede's balanced attack was headed by Rheaquone Taylor in the second half. The electric 6-foot-7 small forward out of Barringer High School in New York was on a mission to get to the rim. He took seven free throws and finished with a game-high 14 points, six rebounds and two steals. Joining him on that mission was Central Gwinnett's Jalen Hillery. The aggressive 6-foot-5 guard scored all 12 of his points in the second half and went 9-of-12 from the charity stripe.
Evan Cole and Kovi Tate fought valiantly with the longer (TJ Massenburg) and stronger (Chris Agbo) inside. Cole went for 10 points, eight rebounds and a block while Tate, who earned a start, chipped in seven points and four rebounds. Massenburg (Shiloh), who was named Co-MVP with Zach Cooks (Berkmar), finished with five points, two steals and three blocks. Agbo (Covenant Christian), who gives the best bodybuilders a run for their money, pitched in six points, 10 rebounds and two blocks.
Colby Leifson netted eight points and Will Crumly (North Cobb Christian) added seven in the loss. Kendrick Summerour (Milton) was a nice spark with five points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals off the bench. The Southern Stampede received six points and three rebounds from Kenton Eskridge (Columbia).
Established Stock Risers
Damion Rosser & Zach Cooks didn't see their recruitment explode, but both took positive steps to the D-I level
Did anyone help their stock more than the Atlanta All-Stars' Evan Cole and Javon Greene? Just in the past few weeks Cole has landed offers from the likes of Georgia State, Jacksonville, Youngstown State, UNC-Wilmington, Troy, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Western Carolina, firmly putting him ON the radar, not under.
Greene cashed in with Georgia State, Lipscomb, Western Carolina, George Mason and Coastal Carolina, the Chanticleers being his first offer on July 10.
Damion Rosser might not have landed all the offers his backcourt mate Greene did, but he certainly caught coaches' attention and has gotten the ball rolling on his recruitment. The downhill attacking 6-foot-4 guard will have D-I offers coming his way.
Colby Leifson heated up his recruitment by stroking nine threes in a single half this weekend. He won't be available right away as he is taking a mission trip, but Gardner-Webb and BYU are now in on the sharpshooter. He still needs to round out his game an become more than just a specialist, but D-I programs have definitely taken notice of his elite floor stretching ability.
GA Stunners guard Kane Williams had a monster weekend, sniffing the 30-point barrier in multiple games. He poured in buckets from all over the floor by showing off an improved distance jumper, knocking down a handful of threes in each game. Georgia State, Stetson and Northern Arizona all extended offers to the playmaking combo guard.
Do you notice a trend here? Georgia State has taken full advantage of putting out offers to GHSA standouts. Assistant Coach Sharman White can be seen at nearly every game alongside Head Coach Ron Hunter. The addition of White to the coaching staff is already starting to pay its dividends as a major boon for the Georgia State program. With knowledge of the Georgia landscape and his years of unparalleled success, White and the Panthers are in mighty fine shape moving forward as they pound the pavement trying to land some of Georgia's hidden gems.
Southern Stampede point guard Zach Cooks got buckets this weekend and was named Co-MVP of the 17U Division. For his standout play, the 5-foot-8 leader earned a scholarship offer from NJIT.
Though he didn't earn any offers, Kovi Tate impressed me with his hard work. He busted his butt in the paint and gave Atlanta All-Stars' coach Ben Miller excellent minutes. Tate's stock trended upward. He is somewhat of an unknown due to the fact he didn't play high school ball last season after transferring from Woodland-Stockbridge to Henry County and not receiving eligibility. He is an undersized 6-foot-5 rim rocking post that will bring toughness to the Henry County frontline.
Lastly, Ryan Jolly is finally starting to get his due. Middle Tennessee State has inquired on the Augusta guard from the Georgia Bulls. As he continues to get stronger and stronger, the high-IQ guard will see his stock soar. I give props to MTSU for doing their due diligence on the talented sleeper.

Artistic Cammon uses hardwood as his canvas
A picture is worth 1,000 words. You might need that and then some to describe rising senior guard Joshua Cammon and his worldly outlook on life. From basketball to baseball to photography and fashion, Cammon doesn't just stuff stat sheets, he also lives a very busy and fulfilled life.
"I know I picked up baseball first because my older brothers played baseball and they taught me but I actually ventured into basketball when I was five years old but I started baseball when I was four," explained Cammon who played his junior season at Eastside where he averaged 13.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.4 steals as a team captain for the 20-10 Eagles.
More impressive was Cammon accomplished this feat with a broken wrist that kept him sidelined during baseball season and limited him to being only a pinch-runner.
"I didn't know I had a wrist injury but I had a broken scaphoid bone in my left wrist. During the basketball season, it had happened around Christmas but I just wrapped it up and played. I thought it was just a sprain."
Cammon was a leader on the floor and personified toughness playing with a broken wrist
For high school players with aspirations of playing on the college level, playing year round is a must. Travel ball constantly allows kids to continue working on their game and in some cases, garner more exposure to college programs. On the other hand, the miles can start racking up on bodies and may cause fatigue if players don't manage their time wisely.
The fact that Cammon, a potent performer on the high school level, has never played AAU is hard to fathom in this day and age. Instead, he has balanced his baseball and photography careers with the hardwood.
"I'll go to the gym or even outside just to keep up", explained Cammon on how he balances each sport by practicing the offseason sport – in this case basketball – on the weekends to maintain his muscle memory.
With one of his many goals being to play in college, missing out on the AAU scene can be a tough pill to swallow.
"I think I'm missing out on a bunch of things like scouts-wise because I know my really close friend Isaiah Miller who just left Eastside, he's gotten a lot of scouts just through AAU itself. So I know if I played AAU two or three years back I probably could have gotten some better looks."
Being an unknown commodity to college coaches and even at the high school level in the state of Georgia has its obvious downsides but it can also serve as motivation.
"I do feel like I'm an in the shadows person because of where I'm at in Georgia."
No longer will Cammon be in the shadows as he has transferred to DeKalb County's winningest program in history, the Tucker Tigers who have a mark of 870 wins and 591 losses. Coming off a 20-7 season, Cammon brings a versatile skillset to the table.
"I know I can bring more scoring and defensively, I'm not going to lay down on defense and not get back," explained Cammon who also thinks he can change the tempo of the game by either slowing or speeding the pace to his liking.
With transfers in and out of the Eastside program, Cammon and his parents sought a more stable location to play his senior season. Cammon received recommendations about Coach James Hartry who has amassed a 317-149 record in 16 seasons at Tucker.
After playing his whole career at Eastside, joining a new school posed potential problems fitting in, but Cammon has made the transition seamlessly.
"I feel like it's not too hard [picking up a new system]. I like it. At first I wasn't sure about it but then when I actually went in there and started playing more summer games with them I kind of fell in love with it and the team and people. It was so calming."
Youphoric Lifestyle
Joshua Cammon separates himself from other athletes with his passions off the court. The 3.3 GPA student is a fan of anime such as Naruto and Dragon Ball Z but more impressively, runs his own fashion company and is a passionate photographer.
"Photography has been my thing for a while. I've actually been taking pictures since I was about 12. I've been taking pictures of my mom's friends' weddings and I'm going to be taking pictures for my aunt's in January," said Cammon, a modern day Ansel Adams.
Photography takes Cammon to his happy place
Cammon noted that his dream school would be Virginia Commonwealth because of their great basketball, baseball and photography programs.
Aside from his photography, Cammon has also begun a clothing line called Youphoric ATL. That is focused on happiness.
"Youphoric, the word comes from euphoria which means being happy and elated. So I put 'You' because you can't find happiness without finding it in yourself first."
Cammon's inspiration for the line came from his own life experiences.
"I started it because there was a time I was sad because of family things and issues I don't like going through. I just learned how to not be involved with it but still enjoy life without it," explained Cammon who with a group of friends opened the company on March 20 of 2015.
The next chapter of Joshua Cammon's life has yet to be written. At age 17, Cammon's lifelong novel already has an impressive introduction. As a renaissance man, the body of Cammon's book will continue to expand with the many different avenues he can choose upon. Combo guard in basketball, infielder in baseball, exquisite photographer or fashion entrepreneur, the life of Josh Cammon is worth the follow on and off the court.

16U Southern Stampede & Georgia Stars Compete Against Country's Best at NIKE EYBL Peach Jam
July 10, 2016 KyleSandy	1 Comment
–Story & Photo contributed by Joe Chapman (@Joe_Chapman3)
The Mecca of high school basketball every summer that features the best talent in the country is located at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina. An event that is on most every basketball fan's bucket list and is the highlight of the summer for high school basketball "junkies", the Nike EYBL Peach Jam is the grand finale of what most everyone can agree is the best summer basketball circuit in the country. While the highlight of this event is the 17U division, the under-the-radar 16U division produces some of the best competition in the country. And while no Georgia teams are competing in the 17U division, two teams from the Peach State, the Southern Stampede and the Georgia Stars, are holding their own in the 16U division. I made sure to catch a game from each team while I took a trip down to the Peach Jam and what follows are my thoughts from each game and what Georgia high school basketball fans have to look forward to during the 2016-17 season.
Southern Stampede 81, St. Louis Eagles 74
Facing a team with a big-time name in the St. Louis Eagles, the Stampede quickly found themselves down 7-0 and looked as if they would be no match in the game. They then clawed their way back in the game and took the lead at halftime 42-36. The Eagles cut the lead to as close as 1 early in the second half but ended up falling as the Stampede grinded out a tough 7-point win. Leading the way for the Stampede was uber-athletic rising junior wing from Allatoona, Trey Doomes. Doomes was in control of the game all night as he finished with a game-high 18 points on 6-9 shooting. He was doing it all for the Stampede as he was the go-to player knocking down mid-range jumpers, attacking the rim with both hands, and drawing fouls as he went to the line 10 times. Look for Doomes to have a breakout campaign for Allatoona this year, who comes off of a heartbreaking 50-48 state championship loss to powerhouse Miller Grove.
Not to be outdone, Travis Anderson poured 17 points off of the bench in the tightly contested affair. While he didn't start, Anderson played 25 of the game's 32 minutes and controlled the offense while on the floor. As the Eagles kept chipping away at the lead throughout the game, Anderson was a calming presence when pressed and hit clutch shots to halt any run made against them. He added 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the game and knocked down four consecutive free throws to seal the win for the Stampede. After a solid sophomore campaign, Anderson looks to be on the move again and wherever he ends up will be getting a very solid point guard.
The final Peach State prospect that really impressed me from the Stampede was Lorenzo McGhee. The 6-foot-4 McGhee finished with 14 points on an efficient 5-7 shooting and was a high-energy spark plug off of the bench. He was attacking the rim while also stepping out and knocking down the long ball. The rising junior at Columbia High School played 28 minutes off of the bench and like Doomes, is one that expects to have a breakout junior campaign.
Georgia Stars 64, PSA Cardinals, 44
The Georgia Stars have had good fortunes in North Augusta as the 17U team in 2015, led by Jared Harper and Wendell Carter Jr., took home the title. This weekend, the good fortunes continued as the 16U Stars earned a blowout win over the PSA Cardinals from New York City. An ugly turnover-filled first half in which neither team shot the ball well ended with the Stars ahead 21-19. In the second half, Liberty County product Will Richardson put the Stars on his back and carried them to victory. With about 9 minutes left in the second half, the Stars found themselves up three and unable to pull away from the Cardinals. Then, Richardson scored 10 straight points for the Stars to put the lead at double-digits and they never looked back. In the span, he hit two 3's, a mid-range jumper, and a strong layup as he had all of the college coaches in the gym nodding their heads in approval. The 10 straight turned into 15 of the 17 points for his team late in the half as Richardson finished with a game-high 17 points on 7-10 shooting (3-4 3PT). Richardson played a huge role for Liberty County this year, providing a much needed third scoring option behind Davion Mitchell and Richard LeCounte as the Panthers from Hinesville captured their first ever state championship, denying Jonesboro and MJ Walker a three-peat.
A pleasant surprise for me in this game was the performance of one of the many big men at Greenforest, Mohammed Abdulsalem. Coming off of the bench, "Big Mo" played 27 minutes for the Stars en route to 12 points and a game-high 9 rebounds on the afternoon. While he is not necessarily a shot blocker, he still managed to alter shots frustrating the Cardinals. One thing he did very well was start multiple fast breaks by handling the ball and in the beginning of the second half, went coast-to-coast and finished a layup with the foul in Charles Barkley fashion. Abdulsalem's unexpected versatility with the ball in his hands was stock up moment. He fouled out in the game I watched, but if he can stay out of foul trouble, he can play a very important and valuable role for a Greenforest team that looks to repeat as state champions this upcoming season.
The final standout to me for the Stars was obviously Khavon Moore. Other than Richardson's breakout in the second half, Moore was the Stars' go-to-player. He didn't have the greatest of shooting performances (4-12 FG) but the rising junior stuffed the stat sheet with 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. Moore is a very long point-forward that can block shots, attack the rim, and hit mid-range contested shots. If he continues to grow and put on some muscle, the sky is the limit for Moore and the offers will keep piling up. Moore will once again star for his Westside-Macon squad this year after they bowed out of the Sweet 16 of the state playoffs last year to Calhoun.

Middle Georgia Supersonics win 16U USSSA National Championship
July 6, 2016 KyleSandy
The boys from Middle Georgia romped their way to the 16U HoopSeen/USSSA National Championship this past weekend at Suwanee Sports Academy. The Supersonics finished a perfect 6-0 with an average margin of victory of 29.5 points, scoring two wins by 46 and 47 points. In the championship game, the Sonics raced out to a large early lead and never looked back, coasting to a 65-42 win over Team Phoenix.
Consisting of players from Upson-Lee, Taylor County, Perry, Crawford County, Manchester and First Presbyterian Day, the Supersonics' full-court trapping press wreaked havoc all weekend forcing turnovers that led to easy buckets.
The catalyst for the Supersonics was sophomore point guard Zyrice Scott. Scott led a trio of Upson-Lee Knights (23-4) that powered the Supersonics on both ends of the floor. The slight of build 5-foot-10 guard was lethal in transition. In the Sonics' 81-34 rout of the Tampa Bayhawks, Scott netted a game-high 20 points. He drilled five threes and punished the Bayhawks when they left him open. Scott doesn't have a lightning fast trigger on his jumper, but he is pure once he sets his feet and lines it up. With the ball in his hands, Scott is quick laterally and can shake his way past defenders. He scored eight points in a 62-29 win over the Rebels and in the finals he added 12 points.
Don't let his look fool you. Zyrice Scott can play.
While Scott provided the outside shooting, big man and fellow Knight Travon Walker was a wrecking ball inside. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound star defensive tackle with an offer from UGA already entering just his sophomore season, can get the job done on the hardwood as well. Mobility, strength and length were all on display for Walker. He and Scott worked the pick-and-roll with Walker diving hard to the basket for easy buckets.
Walker excelled at catching passes while on the move and rebounding in traffic. His soft hands and strong grip allowed him to control the paint. He posted 15 points and nine rebounds against the Bayhawks and eight points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks against the Rebels. In the championship Walker once again led the Sonics with 12 points, winning his battle with 6-foot-7 Ibrahim Dodo.
Travon Walker will be a top big in Middle Georgia
The third-head of the Supersonic attack? Tye Fagan. The 6-foot-3 junior guard that led Upson-Lee in scoring last season at 20 points per game came off the bench as an electric sixth man. Fagan's consistency and ability to score in bunches was something no other team was able to match. Fagan scored from all three levels, showing a three-point touch, a mid-range game and the ability to take smaller defenders into the post and shoot over them.
Fagan, a 3.6 GPA student, disrupted opponents with his active hands atop the Supersonic press. Against the Bayhawks he tossed in 10 points, three assists and three steals. He then went for 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks vs. the Rebels.
Tye Fagan is a versatile scorer
Perry High School's Jake Smith also announced his presence with his play this weekend. The 6-foot-1 rising junior netted 10 points against the Rebels and contributed on defense and with his passing throughout the weekend. As a sophomore at Perry (18-11), Smith averaged 5.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 steals and a team-leading 4.2 assists per game.
Travon Walker wasn't the only star football player on the court with the Middle Georgia Supersonics. Lyn-J Dixon of Taylor County provided a spark off the bench with his non-stop motor and electric athleticism. Dixon, who gained national headlines after his 451-yard, 5-TD performance last season as a running back – yes, a running back – is entering his junior season and holds offers from Alabama, Tennessee and UGA.
Back to the court; Dixon added 12 points and three steals off the bench against the Bayhawks. Dixon is at his best in the open court and soars to the hoop in transition once he attacks the lane. He and Jahnile Hill (Manchester) added a dimension of relentlessness off the bench, both smothering opposing ball handlers and igniting the Sonics' press.
Though the GHSA state championships have been moved out of Macon, there is still plenty of reason to visit Middle Georgia. The area is filled with talent and will give the Metro Atlanta schools a run for their money whenever they meet.
