About Toebe: A four-year varsity mainstay for the Lions, Toebe has been the key piece for a stellar run at Clear Lake. They have compiled a 66-9 record over the last three seasons and will be among the best teams in 3A again this year. A skilled point guard who can both score and facilitate at a high level, he’s a talented shot-maker who can fill it up in a hurry. His game has steadily evolved, as he was more of a pure lead guard as a freshman, and he has transitioned into a talented combo as his career has progressed.
Why he can win Mr. Basketball: Toebe comes from a part of the state that lacks Mr. Basketball candidates, and if he puts together a really strong season while leading the Lions deep into the 3A state tournament, he could garner enough attention to receive the votes necessary to win the award. He’s a talented player who has had a chance to compile some impressive career numbers during his four-year varsity career, which includes an awful lot of winning.
