<p>The OK White is absolutely loaded this season and my pick for the toughest conference in the area. Grand Rapids Christian features the number one player in the state in [player_tooltip player_id="611404" first="Kobe" last="Bufkin"]. Forest Hills Northern has arguably the best backcourt in the area in [player_tooltip player_id="814560" first="Trinidad" last="Chambliss"] and [player_tooltip player_id="811128" first="Ethan" last="Erickson"], while Northview features budding stars in [player_tooltip player_id="864018" first="Jalen" last="Charity"] and [player_tooltip player_id="787685" first="Kyler" last="Vanderjagt"]. Below I’ll highlight my first, second, and third-team all-conference selections as well as my pre-season league power rankings.</p>
