Thursday night Perry Ellis and his Witchita Heights (20-0) team defeated rival East High School in an interstate battle, winning the City League Championship. Perry had a game filled with highlight reel dunks (6 in total) helping his team secure the victory and finishing the game with 27 points.
Perry has had a very impressive year this season averaging 23.1 ppg and 7.9 rpg. His ability to finish around the rim has enabled him to shooting a blistering 80% from inside the 3 point line. And if teams think that they can foul him in crunch time, well he can hit those as well shooting a very solid 71% from the charity stripe.
For a 6'8 forward who is unstoppable around the rim, he can also at times step out and hit the long range shot as well. This is a kid that I have been watching for quite some time and in my opinion, is just as good of a person as he is a player. It should be fun to watch his recruitment play out as there are 6 schools heavily involved. Kentucky, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Memphis, and Witchita State.
As far as his recruitment goes, I talked to his mother earlier this morning and she told me "Perry plans to take official visits next fall, and would like to sign in the early signing period."
