This is the best team in the league, and Evans is (arguably) their best player.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>First Team</h4> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167703" first="Sage" last="Evans"], West Harrison: 16.7 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 steals, 49.2 FG%, 41.9 3P%</strong></p> <p>An undersized 6-2 power forward, Evans has a relentless motor and a nose for the ball. He's a dominant rebounder who also scores at a high clip. He can stretch the floor, get others involved, and his rebounding is second-to-none.</p> <p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167693" first="Koleson" last="Evans"], West Harrison: 15.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.3 blocks, 51.0 FG%, 44.7 3P%</strong></p> <p>A 6-5 combo forward who can really shoot it, Evans is a strong rebounder in his own right, but it's his shooting and size combination that makes him such a dangerous threat for the Hawkeyes.</p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962664" first="Gabe" last="Obert"], Coon Rapids-Bayard: 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists</strong></p> <p>A 6-2 wing who can score in bunches, Obert leads a Crusaders team that made some noise late last season and brings back their top four scorers.</p> <p><strong>2022 Will Ragaller, Ar-We-Va: 14.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.4 steals</strong></p> <p>Another high scorer, Ragaller is a 5-11 forward who does most of his damage inside the arc. He does a little bit of everything for the Rockets, leading the team in assists and steals last season.</p> <p><strong>2022 Colby Rich, CAM: 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks, 39.4 3P%</strong></p> <p>A 6-2 shooter, Rich's 52 made 3-pointers were tops in the league last season, and he knocked them down at a very respectable 39.4% clip. His scoring numbers should go up even more this year following the graduation of a fellow 14 point scorer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Second Team</h4> <p>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1288871" first="Mason" last="King"], West Harrison</p> <p>2022 Dylan Hoefer, Woodbine</p> <p>2022 Tanner Oswald, Coon Rapids-Bayard</p> <p>2023 Easton Nelson, Exira-EHK</p> <p>2023 Trey Petersen, Exira-EHK</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Honorable Mentions</h4> <p>2022 Jaidan TenEyck, Boyer Valley<br /> 2022 Trevor Malone, Boyer Valley<br /> 2024 Cash Emgarten, Exira-EHK<br /> 2022 Cade Ticknor, CAM<br /> 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1235030" first="Cooper" last="Kock"], Ar-We-Va<br /> 2024 Jackson Radcliff, Exira-EHK</p>
