Greene County’s basketball teams recently wrapped up their 2025–26 seasons, with six standout players earning All-Region recognition.
Three players from each program were honored, highlighting strong individual performances despite challenging campaigns.
On the boys’ side, junior guards Ge’Corey Brown and Braylen Hurt earned first-team honors, while freshman guard Ethan Wright was named to the second team.
Brown led the team with averages of 15.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, recording nine double-doubles this season.
Hurt contributed 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game, including three games with 25 or more points.
Wright, the coach’s son, averaged 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game, shooting 48.6% from beyond the arc and leading the team in blocks.
Greene County boys head coach Mark Wright praised his team’s perseverance.
“The boys showed tremendous resolve despite a challenging season,” he said. “They maintained high spirits and a tough attitude in the face of adversity. I’m prouder of that than anything else we could have accomplished.”
Greene County finished 9-20 overall but earned a postseason berth with a fourth-place finish in the region. The Tigers narrowly fell to top-seed Mitchell County in the first round, 56-55 at the buzzer.
“We had a full roster for only eight of our 29 games, yet the kids never wavered,” Wright added. “They came to practice and games ready to compete every day.”
The Greene County boys will return a strong core next season, with only three seniors graduating in May.
“This experience will make them stronger,” Wright said. “We’ll learn from it and come back ready to compete.”
The Lady Tigers also honored three players. Sophomore guard Denver McCommons earned second-team recognition, while fellow sophomores Ja’Neyce Hall and Aikerria Griggs received honorable mentions.
McCommons led the team with almost 14 points per game and ranked among the team leaders in assists and blocks.
Greene County girls head coach Steven Hopper was proud of his players’ achievements, too. “I am very proud of my three sophomores for receiving recognition,” he said. “All three have the potential to reach first-team honors in the future.”
Greene County’s girls struggled this season, finishing 1-19, but hope remains high for the 2026–27 season.
With only two seniors graduating, most of the Lady Tigers’ production returns next season.
“At the end of the day, we get everything back, or almost everything,” Hopper said.
