Presley Leads 4th Ranked Hoyas

Jeremy Presely (Harrison, 2012)
SEBA Standout and Harrison High Senior Jeremy Presley (5' 11, PG, 2012) is off to a terrific start for the Hoyas. The Senior Point Guard has been a major factor in Harrison's early success, leading the team in both scoring and assists. The Hoyas are currently 5-1 and ranked as the #4 team in Georgia's Class AAAAA. Their only loss at this point was to National Powerhouse Oak Hill Academy (VA).

Presley has been hitting all on cylinders the past two weeks. In a rout of Stephenson High, Jeremy scored 21 points, where he shot 5 of 6 from three point range. He followed that performance up with an impressive showing, scoring a game high 18 points in 64-57 victory over Norcross in the Nike Explosion held at Kennesaw State University. Presley capped off the impressive stretch with a good showing over rival McEachern. In an extremely physical game which saw four Harrison players foul out; Jeremy hit two clutch free throws with 6 seconds left which proved to be the game winners.

Jeremy has the potential to be a very good lead guard for a school at the next level. Simply put, he knows how to play the game. He has a high skill set and a high basketball IQ. He can shoot the lights out and has extremely deep range. He creates well off the dribble and has a smooth but quick shot release. He is battle tested, and seems to play his best against toughest competition (ie: he averaged 15 ppg and 4 assists per game at 17U AAU Division I Nationals this past July). Off the court, Jeremy is a high achiever with a 3.8 GPA and above average test scores.

Look for Jeremy to continue his strong play and position the Hoyas for a strong Region and State Tournament playoff run!
