Returning Starters. Six-foot-2 guard Jackson Hilton is the lone returning starter for the Lynx. He scored 12 points a game shooting nearly half of his attempts at the arc. He was an All Conference player and a third team all state player. Hilton is playmaker that can play on or off the ball.
Reserves Playing a Bigger Role. Six-foot Joe Kolbeck is the other sophomore that played a role for the Lynx earning a title. Kolbeck gave his team worker minutes defending, rebounding, and giving his team offensive discipline. Kolbeck and Hilton will be the experienced juniors, 5-foot-10 guard Jaxon LaBrie and 6-foot-8 big Gavin Terhark are now seniors. Terhark wasn’t your normal reserve, he scored double figures off the bench at state scoring in high percentages inside and out.
Potentials from the JV. Brandon Valley will need help up front and in the form of bigger wings. Junior-to-be Aydin Llyod is 6-foot-3 and could be a fourth guard while senior Hunter Marso, junior Dawson Johnson, and 6-foot-6 bigs Payton Tietjen and Jay Jurgens will supply depth.
