Labissiere was ruled ineligible by the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association after trying to transfer before his senior season of high school. Labissiere then played for an upstart school called “Reach Your Dreams,” which was started by his guardian Gerald Hamilton, who helped bring Labissiere to the United States from Haiti.
