Four New Cardinals Set to Strengthen Martin County Boys Basketball Roster

Andrew Meeks, Preston Slone, Keaton Terry and Jay Brock bring diverse skills as the team eyes another championship run

Martin County Boys Basketball is set to welcome four new athletes to its 2026‑2027 roster, a move that could reshape the team’s dynamics heading into the next season. Andrew Meeks, Preston Slone, Keaton Terry and Jay Brock have each signed on to join the Cardinals, bringing a mix of size, shooting and experience.

A Deepening Squad

Among the newcomers, Keaton Terry stands out as a 6‑7 forward whose recent performance in the West Virginia Class AAA state championship earned him tournament MVP. He averaged 15 points and 14 rebounds per game, a double‑double that highlighted his dominance under the basket.

Jay Brock, a 6‑4 guard, contributed 20 points in the championship game and earned a spot on the Class AAA All‑Tournament Team. His scoring ability and clutch performances add a new dimension to the backcourt.

Preston Slone brings a sharpshooting pedigree, leading the squad in three‑point percentage last season while also contributing 4.6 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. His perimeter threat is expected to stretch defenses and open driving lanes for teammates.

Andrew Meeks arrives with prior 15th Region experience, having averaged 2.8 points and one rebound per game for the Tigers in the previous campaign. His familiarity with regional rivals could prove valuable as the Cardinals navigate a tough schedule.

All four players will share the court with Braxton Keathley, the 2025‑2026 MaxPreps Kentucky Player of the Year, who posted a staggering 33.1 points per game last season. The blend of Keathley’s scoring prowess with the new talent suggests a deep and versatile roster heading into the upcoming campaign.
