Tallassee's Humphrey takes home tournament MVP

As the Tallassee Lions Club 2019 Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament started winding down last week, it was clear the Tigers were going to walk away as champions but the only question remaining was who would take home the extra hardware as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Tallassee pulled away in the second half from Elmore County to win the boys championship 66-29 behind an all-around performance from guard Jamicah Humphrey.

“He exhibited the total package,” Tallassee coach Keiven Mixson said. “He got down and guarded. He pushed the ball and was a scoring threat each night. He was probably one of the best defenders in the tournament and he was the best scorer.”
