<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921085" first="Brayden" last="Bengston"], Coeur d’Alene:</strong> Bengston is a 6’3" combo guard who has great size and skill for his position. He can knock down the open jumper with ease and has great footwork on the perimeter which allows him to find routes to get to the rim or pull-up from outside. Brayden is a lefty who knows how to finish at the rim using crafty lay-ups and has the size and strength to finish over the top of any defender. Brayden also has a great looking jumper from deep and he can routinely hit three-point attempts while also being a defensive pest on the other end of the court.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="921087" first="Coleman" last="Ross"], St. Maries:</strong> Fresh off of a state championship, Ross will look to expand his role with St. Maries in the upcoming season. Ross has scored well during his time with the varsity squad and he also rebounds really well for his size. He can play with his back to the basket in the post or he can bully his way to the rim for an easy bucket. Coleman is still developing his jumper and an expanded range could be a nightmare for opposing defenders. Ross is a great rebounder who routinely puts up a double-double against any opponent. Defensively, he has great energy and plays in the passing lanes as much as possible to start fast breaks and allow his teammates to find themselves in positions to score.</p>
