Although there are an increasing number of of camps and showcases to choose from these days, Ty Kish’s MSHTV Camp has established itself as one of the most competitive events in the business. Having taken a break in 2020 due to COVID-19, Kish’s event returned this weekend and it did not appear to miss a beat. In fact, over 400 players from across the country in grades 6th-9th descended on the Pacer Athletic Center in Westfield, IN for this 3-day event. We arrived at the event on Saturday and concentrated our evaluations on the 6th, 7th & 8th grade divisions. As expected, there was plenty of talent spread across the 8-court facility. No one was better than Christopher Washington Jr (6’5″/C/2026), who put on an absolute show for the standing room only crowd that surrounded the court. Washington was a human highlight reel as he treated the crowd to an in-game dunk contest. This kid dunked everything! Needless to say, Washington’s future is very bright and we would not be surprised if high major college basketball is in his future with continued growth and development. Other standout performers included Darrius Hawkins, Joshua Huggins, Deon Johnson, Eron McDuffey, Kamron Mercer, Erick Dampier, Ashton Pierce and Jaydon Johnson. Below is a more complete list of our day two standouts. We look forward to identifying more standouts on Sunday. Stay tuned. Also, a number of the players listed below will be attending our October 23rd Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase in Columbus, OH.
