          SHEFFIELD 2012-2013         

                                             

    Coach Clyde Delamar in his sixth year at Sheffield High School is a favorite to win district and regional honors accordingly and advance far in postseason action with a senior oriented team after falling in sub state play last season on the road. The Knights will battle Mitchell for the 1 spot and with Khallil Spencer transferring from BTW changes the landscape in 16 AA but the Hoopers staff gives the edge to the Knights with a strong senior group that will be very versatile and interchangeable. Sheffield has the best overall shooter in the Hoopers eyes in the city in senior Jaylon Smith (6'2 - 175 lbs., rivals #). Smith possesses one of the best rotations and releases hands down. You know when people shoot and certain people that shoot you just know they are going to miss. Not in Smith's  case, you feel 100% confident he is going to nail down all shots brought before him. Coach Delamar states, " Smith is the best rebounder on the team", and his aggressive style is always intense.

    Sheffield has twins that are extremely versatile all over the court in right handed senior Broderick Davis (6'2 - 175 lbs., rivals #) who can shoot the ball very well from anywhere on the court in strong fashion. The other twin is left handed senior Toderick Davis (6'2 - 175 lbs., rivals #) who plays the guard spot exceptionally well with great ball handling skills and court vision is very strong while getting all teammates in the game with ease. Another senior is    Larry Kimber (5'8 - 155 lbs., rivals #) who also plays the point guard spot with good court vision to go along with very high intensity that heightens every time he enters the contest and will pick up the other teams supposedly best point guard immediately.

    Senior Terrance "Little Duke" Dixon (6'0 - 165 lbs., rivals #) is also on the better shooters on the team. Last senior who has been on the varsity team the entire four years is Brandon Leachman (6'4 - 180 lbs., rivals #) and will contribute valuable minutes throughout the entire season. Junior Patrick Hill (6'2 - 175 lbs., rivals #) shoots the ball very good from mid range, has a good inside game and his defense has gotten better from last year. Sophomore  Terrance Smith (6'5 - 180 lbs., rivals #), the younger brother of Jaylon Smith will contribute valuable time in the middle with his aggressive style of play and good overall skills.

    Sheffield will participate in the Annual Martin Luther King Tournament at Hamilton high School this year. Another new marquee tournament Memphis Bragging Rights will be on the Knights schedule December 14, 2012 at Briarcrest Christian School.  They also play Division AAA powerhouse Melrose in a home and away format December 4 and 18, 2012 that will help them for postseason advancement. Another school they will play during the season and maybe in the city championship on the north side of town is Trezevant November 27, 2012 and December 17, 2012 respectively.

   Sophomore James Buchanan (5'9 - 175 lbs., rivals #) is a tough young kid who can score in bunches with his high octane defense that translates into points. Another sophomore  Patrick Hill (6'2 - 175 lbs., rivals #) will help in rebounding on both sides of the ball.

Recap 8-25-2005

BY : ANDRE WHITEHEAD OF TENNESSEE PREP HOOPS

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I think there is a book that starts off that way, but I digress.

The anticipation of the upcoming AAU or summer campaign was alive and kicking all over the country in May of 2005, especially in Memphis.

The expectations seemed enormous, having finished second in the 17 and under nationals last season as 16's the Memphis YOMCA seemed primed for the ultimate run.

Something happened on the way to the gym.

It was apparent the Bluff City faithful were not the only parties interested in getting a piece of the star studded squad.

Adidas wanted to get a foothold in the ever burgeoning Memphis hoop scene and this seemed to be the initial move to start this particular ball
rolling.

So the YOMCA was no longer in the loop and the Memphis Pump-N-Run were officially born.

Taking a peek at the roster one could not blame Adidas for their bold move. Thaddeus Young, Willie Kemp, Wayne Chism, Pierre Niles and Brandon Powell made up a nucleus that would surely lead Team Memphis to the promised land.

The summer campaign started with a most interesting scenario as the "PNR" lost a game to the Mid-State Ballerz, who ironically had Willie Kemp running the show. This was an illusion that would soon change, as Kemp
shortly thereafter joined the PNR.

With all their ducks in a row, the PNR set out to establish themselves and put a benchmark on the national attention that would follow.

The Real Deal on the Hill, the first major tournament of the summer that coaches could attend. The pundits pined for the impending matchup between Team Memphis and the defending mythical goliath The Indy Spiece Heat. The Heat were led by the consensus top player in the class Greg Oden and numerous other high level prospects who could actually match the
PNR with name recognition.

The reputation was established and the aura of the PNR was created as the boys from Memphis soundly defeated the Heat and made a huge cry across the land as the best summer squad in existence.

Another funny thing happened on the way to their future endeavors, nothing.

For some inexplicable reason the PNR did not suit up for any of the Memorial Day festivities and was sparsely seen until the Adidas Super 64 in Atlanta, following the shoe camps.

The aforementioned players participated in various high level exposure camps and the three major shoe camps and kept their names on the tongues of coaches nationwide.

After achieving individual success at these various camps, the boys got back together with the purpose of putting the finishing touches on a grand and final run through the top programs the country had to offer. They added Ridgeway jumping jack Ernest Fields and ECS powerhouse Tim Johnson to the fold and things looked bright.

Once again a funny thing happened on the way to the gym.

The time off and the lack of continuity played havoc on the chemistry of the PNR and they bowed out early in Atlanta.

Heading to Las Vegas for the final big time event of the summer, the PNR seemed poised and ready to achieve. After dominating pool play the lack of chemistry once again reared it's ugly head and some resentment among the players seemed to end this summer campaign on a sour note.

This team had the potential to be one of the best of all time. It is truly unclear what precipitated these events that grounded this team for much of the latter portion of May and June, but it truly had it's effect on their success.

None the less these kids are part of the best class of seniors to dot the Tennessee landscape in many years.

The decision to completely disassociate themselves with the
organization that they grew up playing for in retrospect now seems like a mistake. The YOMCA will continue on with quality younger teams and what to make of the Adidas affiliation with the Bluff City at this juncture is
unclear.
