<p>As we are now into post-season basketball, we will take a look back at the top rebounders in classes 1A and 2A. </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Class 1A:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Sage Evans, SO (West Harrison): </strong>The 6’1" sophomore led the Hawkeyes in both points and rebounds. Starting every game, Evans brought in 334 rebounds, which comes out to 14.5 a game and the most rebounds in all four classes. At 6’1", it was common for Evans to out-heightened. The sophomore had a season-high 21 rebounds in a 69-60 win against West Monona early in the season. Just a sophomore, expect to see Evans at the top of the rebounds list for the next two seasons.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="796104" first="Angelo" last="Winkel"], SR (Bishop Garrigan): </strong>Winkel had a huge senior season. Winkel led the state in points and was second in rebounds behind Sage Evans. To add to an impressive season, he broke Bishop Garrigan’s all-time scoring record and broke the school’s single-season rebound record. The senior totaled 318 rebounds (13.8 rpg) and 663 points (28.8 ppg). Augustana is getting a very talented 6’9" forward who is skilled on both sides of the ball and has a very high basketball IQ.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="956875" first="Daniel" last="Tobiloba"], SO (Grand View Christian): </strong>The 6’10" sophomore grabbed 275 rebounds through 18 games this season, to average 15.3 a game. At 6’10", Tobiloba is a tremendous shot blocker and a very skilled finisher. The sophomore’s only college interest comes from Iowa, but expect his recruiting to pick up over the next two years.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Class 2A:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Jake Nichols, SR (Colfax-Mingo): </strong>Nichols was a bright spot on a struggling Colfax-Mingo team this season. The senior led the Tigerhawks in rebounds with 287 (13.7 rpg), to go with 255 points (12.1 ppg). The 6’2" forward has been very under the radar but has shown this season that he is solid down low, and can also step out hit a three.</p>
<p><strong>Caden Kirkman, SO (Wilton): </strong>The center for the Beavers had a very solid sophomore season, averaging 11.0 rebounds a game, along with 18.6 points a game. Kirkman was second in Class 2A with 241 rebounds. Not much of an outside threat, Kirkman makes his money with smooth post moves and a solid mid-range game. Keep an eye on Kirkman for the next two years.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="962616" first="Ty" last="Van Essen"], JR (Western Christian): </strong>The junior led the 17-5 Wolfpack in both points and rebounds, and has himself ranked in the top 50 in the class of ’22. Van Essen can do it all, shooting almost 50% from three, and 60% overall from the field. The junior hauled in a total of 177 rebounds in the 22 games that he started, putting him at the top of the rebound category in class 2A.</p>
