<p>An eye-popping athlete who will finish above the rim with authority both in transition and in the halfcourt, Becker leads a Lisbon team that is looking to get to the top of the division this season with his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>First Team</h4>
<p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="784986" first="Kole" last="Becker"], Lisbon: 17.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.4 steals, 1.5 blocks, 50.9 FG%, 42.9 3P%, 76.6 FT%</strong></p>
<p>Becker is a fantastic athlete who uses his combination of length and athleticism to dominate at this level. He's a talented three-level scorer who can protect the rim and stretch the floor, while also having the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the bucket.</p>
<p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962694" first="Tyson" last="Scott"], Lisbon: 11.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals</strong></p>
<p>An undersized but effective power forward, Scott led the Lions in rebounding last season and pulled down an impressive 4.6 offensive boards a game. He's a big part of a Lions team that looks to dominate the glass on a nightly basis.</p>
<p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158461" first="Cayden" last="Deardorff"], Easton Valley: 8.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks</strong></p>
<p>A mobile 6-7 big man, Deardorff will see his numbers skyrocket this year following the graduations of the River Hawks top two scorers. His mobility and length make him an intriguing prospect at the next level.</p>
<p><strong>2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167740" first="Carson" last="Fuegen"], Easton Valley: 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 3.5 steals</strong></p>
<p>Fuegen is small (listed at 5-8 last year), but a highly effective guard who stuffs the stat sheet and thrives on getting others involved. His 148 assists were 58 more than any other player in the division last season, and his 81 steals are tops among returnees by 33.</p>
<p><strong>2022 Levi Telecky, Cedar Valley Christian: 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.9 steals</strong></p>
<p>The Huskies won just two games last year, but Telecky was a solid performer, leading the team in scoring, assists, and steals, while finishing second in rebounding. </p>
