<p>Think Kobe and Shaq, Magic and Kareem, Jordan and Pippen. A good one-two punch is tough to beat, and a lot of fun to watch. There are a lot of good one-two punches in the small schools in northeast Kansas. Here are just a few:</p>
<p><strong>Gabe Garber and Braden Argabright, Sabetha:</strong></p>
<p>A couple of multisport stars, the seniors have been doing it for a while up at Sabetha. Garber is on of the leading scorers in the state with a 21-point average. Argabright provides tons of support with about 12 a game. He popped for a high of 23 against Hiawatha and has been held to single figures just twice.</p>
<p><strong>Drew Stutesman and Chase Harrison, Madison:</strong></p>
<p>Sophomore Stutesman is averaging 13.5 a game for one of the top 1A teams in the state. Harrison averages 11.3, and came up huge when the Lyon County League Tournament was on the line, hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer to beat Lebo.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/tanner-hecht/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/tanner-hecht/">Tanner Hecht</a></a> and <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/taybor-vetter/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/taybor-vetter/">Taybor Vetter</a></a>, Wamego:</strong></p>
<p>These two are the long the short of it for Wamego. The 6-foot-5 junior Hecht averages 17.5 points a game, and he’s relatively consistent in his output. Vetter, a lightning quick football commit to Washburn averages 11.5 and his point production is more varied.</p>
<p><strong>Avery Gatzemeyer and Tyler Lockhart, Valley Falls:</strong></p>
<p>Gatzemeyer, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, leads his tough 1A team with 15.4 points per game. 6-foot-3 senior Tyler Lockhart is a four-year starter who adds 13 points per contest.</p>
<p><strong>Jaxson Pope and Tayshawn Barfield, McClouth:</strong></p>
<p>The 6-foot-8 Pope is one of the tallest players in the region. He averages 17.7, while the 6-foot-2 Barfield, a fellow senior, contributes 12.5 per game.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/quinn-neuenswander/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/quinn-neuenswander/">Quinn Neuenswander</a></a> and Bryce Clements, Jefferson West:</strong></p>
<p>These two seniors sort of take turns taking the lead for Jeff West. The two seniors both average right around 13 points a game.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/parker-stone/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/parker-stone/">Parker Stone</a></a> and <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/blake-farmer/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/blake-farmer/">Blake Farmer</a></a>, Perry-Lecompton:</strong></p>
<p>The 6-foot-1 junior Stone has had some big games and averages 15.2. The 6-foot-7 senior Farmer is a huge presence and contributes 10.6.</p>
