G Samuel Thacker, Providence Christian, 5-11, Sr.
Thacker is the lone holdover from last year’s AJC all-state first and second teams, making first team as a junior last year for the runners-up Storm. A sharpshooter, Thacker is the Storm’s all-time leading 3-point shooter. In the Ironton Classic in Ohio last month, he scored 28 points in a 69-67 win over Expression Prep (W.V.).
G Ashton Williams, Worth County, 6-3, Jr.
Williams leads 2A in scoring with 27.4 points a game, adding 1.8 steals. He has the unranked Rams off to a 7-2 start. In the Rams’ last game of 2023 on Dec. 29, a 113-38 win over Schley County, he had 26 points. Against Piedmont Academy on Dec. 19, he had 51 points.
G-F Treylin Davis, Rockmart, 6-3, Sr.
Davis is second in 2A in scoring with 27.3 points to go with 10.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals. He’s a big reason the Yellow Jackets are off to a 12-0 start. In the Hilburn-Patterson Invitational, he scored 28 points to win the Jackets the tournament’s championship, and he took home MVP honors.
G Landon Bonner, Putnam County, 6-0, Sr.
Bonner is averaging 22.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals for the 10-3 War Eagles. He had 29 points in a 60-55 win over Rutland on Dec. 28. In a 69-65 win over Hancock Central on Nov. 24, he poured in 22 points and eclipsed the 1,000-point total for his prep career.
G Samuel Johnson, Rockmart 5-10, Sr.
Johnson is the second of two Yellow Jackets, along with Davis, to average more than 20 points, coming in a 20.5 with 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals. In a key Region 7 showdown at home against Murray County on Dec. 15, he scored 25 points, including the go-head bucket with four seconds left, to lead the Jackets to a 70-68 win.
