Keyshawn Summerville Shines in Jr. Season Despite Early Season Injury
Keyshawn Summerville, a Class of 2026 guard from Lansing Sexton, has proven himself to be one of the most dynamic and versatile players in the region. Standing at 5’11”, Summerville is known for his shifty style of play, using his quick handles to keep defenders off balance and create opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Whether attacking the basket or dishing out assists, Summerville demonstrates a well-rounded offensive skill set, including impressive shooting from beyond the arc. His ability to handle the ball proficiently with both hands adds another layer to his offensive threat.

His ability to impact the game in multiple areas highlights his value to Lansing Sexton, making him a key player on both ends of the floor.
Even during his time off the court due to injury, Summerville didn’t miss a beat in terms of leadership. He embraced his role from the sidelines, offering support and guidance to his teammates while mentoring underclassmen. This combination of skill, resilience, and leadership makes Summerville a standout guard and a promising prospect to watch in the coming seasons.
