Preseason All-Conference: Tri-Rivers East
Player of the Year: 2018 Logan Miller, Easton Valley
The leading returning scorer and rebounder in the conference, Miller is the leader of an Easton Valley team that is routinely at the top of the division. He’ll be looking to lead them back towards the top again this winter.
First Team
2018 Logan Miller, Easton Valley (17.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.7 blocks, 49.2 FG%)
A versatile threat capable of scoring inside and out, Miller is the division’s leading returning scorer and rebounder. He’s capable of stuffing the stat sheet on any given night, and makes a major impact on both ends of the floor.
2018 Nate Brinker, Bellevue Marquette (13.1 points, 5.5 rebounds)
A 6-0 scoring guard, Brinker is the second leading returning scorer in the division, and one of the best in the league at getting to the free throw line, averaging over five FTA per game last year.
2018 Blayne Banowetz, Bellevue Marquette (10.3 points, 6.4 rebounds)
Another 6-0 Bellevue Marquette guard, Banowetz does a great job competing on the glass despite giving up some size most nights. He’s capable of scoring inside and out, and led the team in steals last year to boot.
2019 Brant Boeckmann, Calamus-Wheatland (8.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 52.3 FG%)
After a highly efficient sophomore season, Boeckmann’s scoring numbers should spike this season with the top three scorers from last year’s team gone. He’s capable of scoring inside and out, and they’ll need him to fill up the scoring column if they want to come close to replicating last year’s success.
2019 Hunter Rickels, Calamus-Wheatland (7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.3 steals)
If there’s any player in the division capable of dropping a triple-double this season, it’s Rickels. With the Warriors’ top three scorers gone, look for his scoring numbers to increase, while still being the best facilitator in the division.
