Eastern Idaho Small School Players to Watch

<p>Rounding out our official journey across my personal favorite state in the United States, we make our way to the small schools tucked away in eastern Idaho. Many of these programs have a rich basketball history made up of former players who played for their father, who played for their father, who played for their father, and so on and so forth. Out there, basketball seems to be another means of survival and many players choose to play from a young age and simply never seem to quit practicing. The small gyms are always crowded and the games are always fun to watch. Continue reading for a look at some of the top players from small schools in eastern Idaho.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="969492" first="Bryler" last="Shurtliff"], West Side:</strong> Bryler is arguably one of the best shooters in the state of Idaho at any level. He can shoot with the best of them in any way, shape, or form, and he gets going in a hurry. As Bryler continues to make a name for himself as a sniper, he has also been working in the offseason to improve his dribbling abilities while also working on his body to become bigger, faster, and stronger. Watch for Bryler to set some records during his senior season of basketball.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1108091" first="Ty" last="Gilbert"], Grace:</strong> Ty is a great point guard for Grace and he will look to truly embrace a leadership role during the upcoming season. Ty has a long history of making great decisions on the basketball court and he always seems to find his teammates in the right place at the right time down the stretch. Gilbert is the type of player that any coach would love to have on the floor, especially if the game was close or coming down to the wire. Watch for Gilbert to rely on an improved jump shot to score a lot of points during the upcoming season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1171732" first="Ross" last="Ingersol"], Aberdeen:</strong> Ross is looking to step into a starting role during the upcoming season as he helps Aberdeen win a lot of games. Ingersol already has developed a great feeling for the game and he plays at a high level every time that he steps on the floor. Ross has proven that he can help his team win and the improvements he has made in the offseason will definitely help him during the season.</p>
