<p>The 2019-2020 season is officially over, it was a season full of excitement thanks to very competitive leagues all across the state.  Many talented players will be back next season, but we’re also losing some big time seniors that will go on to have good careers at the next level.  Let’s take a look at the top stat leaders in the state for all major categories for this season.  </p> <p><strong>Points: [player_tooltip player_id="605549" first="Javonte" last="Johnson"] (2020) | Cheyenne Mountain: 30.0 points per game  </strong></p> <p>The New Mexico commit had a monster senior season, shooting 63% from two-point range on the year (206/328) as well as 82% from the charity strip (144/176).  He is a player that can score from all three-levels and at times makes it look effortless, getting to his spots on the floor and making the defense pay.  He also impacts the game in a verity of different ways, he’s a very strong rebounder who averaged 10.2 RPG this season.  Which according to MaxPreps there has not been another player in the state to average a 30 point double double on the year.  Johnson has all the tools in his game to be a very good player at the next level and should come in and have an impact right away at New Mexico.</p> <p>2.
