We will debut a new class each day, beginning today with freshmen, and then name all-state teams regardless of class, followed by our Mr. Colorado Basketball award. Note: We limited our teams to players who played significant varsity minutes.
Freshman of the Year
Kenny Foster, 6-3 guard, Smoky Hill: At 18.9 points per game, Foster finished four in the vaunted Centennial League in scoring. He played like a veteran for Smoky Hill, demonstrating a mid-range game that is as solid already as any player in the state and he affects the game in multiple other ways. The future is very bright for a player who just turned 15 years old.
Check out the top freshmen performers this season below:
First Team

JoVon Nelson, 5-11 point guard, Far Northeast Warriors: Nelson played with the poise and toughness of a veteran while running the show for the Warriors, averaging 8.7 points and four assists per game.
