<p>An astronomical amount of talent continues to blossom in the Northern California area. Many players continue to standout, lead their teams and leave a legacy proving that they are one of the top players in the area. The players below have stepped up big time for their respective teams while making a name for themselves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Players of the Year:</strong></p>
<p>Sr. [player_tooltip player_id="603824" first="Xavion" last="Brown"], Sheldon – Brown is one of the finest athletes in the entire nation who may have been overlooked a bit. All season long, Brown has proven that he is an elite player and it paid off as the senior will be heading to play Division 1 basketball for Appalachian State University.</p>
<p>Sr. [player_tooltip player_id="603843" first="Josh" last="Williams"], Sheldon – A player who is still unsigned and deserves more attention than he has been getting. Williams is a fantastic player who led a stacked Sheldon group to massive victories all year. Williams is a stat filler who will do anything to help his team get the win.</p>
<p><strong>First Team: </strong></p>
<p>Sr. [player_tooltip player_id="949862" first="Marcus" last="Bagley"], Sheldon – The Arizona State commit is the most dynamic player that I have seen this season. A complete player who dominates every single time he steps on the floor. The future Sun Devil will make a lot of noise when he steps foot on campus.</p>
<p>Jr. [player_tooltip player_id="775751" first="Tyree" last="Gill"], Burbank – After a standout junior season, there is no doubt that Gill will have an even better senior season. A physical lefty that can finish through tough contact and has a great jumping ability.</p>
<p>Sr. Darius Kendall, Rocklin – A shifty guard who has made an impact for the Thunder throughout all four-year of high school. Another unsigned player who can really make an impact for a team, especially on the offensive end of the court but also carries strong characteristics of being a lockdown defender.</p>
<p>Sr. Jalen Patterson, Liberty Ranch – Everyone knows when Patterson steps on the court, it will be a show. The senior is signed to Arizona Western College, a national JUCO. This past season, Patterson lit up the scoresheet, dominating all aspects of the game against any competition.</p>
<p>Jr. [player_tooltip player_id="706266" first="Isa" last="Silva"], Jesuit – Silva is a national recruit who continues to add versatility to his game every year. One of the most complete players in the nation, Silva is a high IQ player who is very efficient and effective with the ball in his hands.</p>
<p>Jr. [player_tooltip player_id="706320" first="Corey" last="Yerger"], Grant – The junior was dominant and was a key player for the Pacers. Yerger can really put the ball on the floor and create for himself off the dribble while being aware of the open man. The 6-foot-1 guard scored 20 points, dished out 4 assists, grabbed 5 rebounds with 2.2 steals this past season.</p>
