<p>We continue to look towards next season and the Twin Lakes Conference.</p> <p>The senior class was a talented one, with many of those players finding homes at the next level. But what is next in the TLC?</p> <p>Among those in the Class of 2021 looking to have another strong summer and winter include East Sac County’s [player_tooltip player_id="796175" first="Camden" last="Schroeder"], Emmetsburg’s [player_tooltip player_id="796174" first="Ben" last="Dunlap"] and South Central Calhoun’s [player_tooltip player_id="796186" first="Brennan" last="Holder"].</p> <p>Here’s a look at those three along with some of the other rising stars in the junior class of the Twin Lakes Conference:</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="796175" first="Camden" last="Schroeder"], East Sac County (2021)</strong></p> <p>It’s going to be difficult for [player_tooltip player_id="796175" first="Camden" last="Schroeder"] to top his junior season, but that is the task at hand for the talent from East Sac County.</p> <p>Schroeder averaged 22.5 points per game, shooting 62 percent from the field and 84 percent at the line. He also knocked down 41 3-pointers and was the conference leader at 9.4 rebounds per game.</p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: Big-time athlete who made remarkable strides from sophomore to junior year best describes Schroeder. With another high-impact season, he’ll be picking up plenty of offers and interest at the collegiate level.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="796174" first="Ben" last="Dunlap"], Emmetsburg (2021)</strong></p> <p>When it comes to the TLC, [player_tooltip player_id="796174" first="Ben" last="Dunlap"] is right there with [player_tooltip player_id="796175" first="Camden" last="Schroeder"] for top player honors. </p> <p>Dunlap posted 19 points a night last year, shooting 55 percent from the field. He was active in getting himself to the free throw line, shooting 173 times there and making 73 percent. </p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: The second-leading scorer and rebounder returning to the TLC, Dunlap will be pushing himself to try and take over Schroeder for top player honors this coming year. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="796186" first="Brennan" last="Holder"], South Central Calhoun (2021)</strong></p> <p>South Central Calhoun will see all-stater [player_tooltip player_id="801871" first="Zane" last="Neubaum"] depart to graduation, leaving a hole to be filled on the offensive end. </p> <p>Enter [player_tooltip player_id="796186" first="Brennan" last="Holder"], as the junior showed he is a worthy candidate after averaging 12 points and 6.5 rebounds a night. Holder helped fill the void when Neubaum was out with an injury, shooting 42 percent from the floor with 48 made 3-pointers. </p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: Improvements at the line will help Holder push up those scoring totals, and should see him boost his overall numbers with another year of experience.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="964915" first="Trey" last="Oehlertz"], Pocahontas Area (2021)</strong></p> <p>Part of a 1-2 punch with Christian Davidson, [player_tooltip player_id="964915" first="Trey" last="Oehlertz"] averaged 13.7 points per game and led Pocahontas Area in rebounds with 145. </p> <p>Oehlertz shot 52 percent from the floor and was second on the team with 26 made 3-pointers. </p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: As strong as his shooting was from the field, bringing up his free throw numbers would lead to more production from Oehlertz, who also added 32 assists and 19 steals.</p> <p><strong>Connor Christian, Sioux Central (2021)</strong></p> <p>Sioux Central was one of the more balanced teams in the TLC this past winter, as Connor Christian was one of four players to average double figures.</p> <p>Christian posted 11 points a night and was second on the team with 40 made 3-pointers. He also finished with 120 rebounds, 40 assists, 23 blocks and 21 steals.</p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: As part of an underclassmen-dominated unit, Christian will be counted on even more to lead by example next year. </p> <p><strong>Christian Davidson, Pocahontas Area (2021)</strong></p> <p>Helping replace the production lost from his graduation of his brother, Jace Davidson, was Christian Davidson. </p> <p>Davidson averaged 12.6 points per game, shooting 42 percent from the floor with 67 rebounds, 41 assists and 26 steals.</p> <p><em>Analysis</em>: Davidson saw his percentages dip this past winter with teams focusing more of their attention on taking him away. </p>
