<p>The Prep Hoops Missouri Magical Stream Machine was quite active last week tracking several tournaments around the state, featuring many talented players from small-school programs who have been operating under the radar. Here is a look at some of the Class of 2021 guards and wings that we saw at tournaments held at New Franklin, Salisbury, Clopton and Highland.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="986458" first="Luke" last="Abeln"] 6’4" Salisbury: The slender shooting guard showcased his impressive shooting range in the championship game of the Salisbury Tournament, when he scored a team high 24 points. In the semifinals, he scored 21 points, with many of them coming on slashing drives to the basket and offensive rebounds. A versatile scoring threat with size and excellent range.</p> <p>Logan Buhlig 6’3" Monroe City: An excellent 3-point shooter who earned All-Tournament Team honors after helping lead the Panthers to the championship of the Clopton Tournament. On a team with some talented guards, he plays the Stretch 4 role perfectly with his long-distance marksmanship.</p> <p>Jackson King 6’1" Salisbury: A hard-driving guard who plays the game at just one speed; "Full Tilt Boogie." He looked to push the pace and attack the basket at every opportunity, which puts a lot of pressure on the defense. He was excellent in the open court. He had a high game of 26 points against Glasgow in the semifinals of the Salisbury Tournament. </p> <p>Zakk Eivens 6’2" Clopton: A versatile wing player who had the size and stout body to outmuscle defenders inside for buckets and rebounds, but he also played the facilitator role with his ability to handle the ball and make decisions. He was a difficult matchup with those skills. He lives at the free throw line.</p> <p>Logan Flespohler 6’3" Sturgeon: A versatile wing player who led Sturgeon to a championship game berth in the New Franklin Tournament. He's very smooth around the basket, whether he's getting into the lane on the drive or working the baseline for reverse layups. He uses his height to his advantage to make solid plays.</p> <p>Nolan Reichers 6'0" Winfield: The senior wing player was one of the most impressive shooting threats in the Clopton Tournament. He scored 19 points and knocked down five 3-pointers in the Warriors victory over Clopton in the semifinals. </p> <p>Kyle Schleeter 6’0" Fayette: The small wing player led his team to a third-place finish at the New Franklin Tournament. He averages 22 points a game and he does it in a variety of ways. He scored 18 of his game-high 22 points in the third-place game victory over Sweet Springs. He attacked the basket and scored through contact to get three-point plays. He scored on off the ball cuts and also hit perimeter jumpers.</p>
