A knockdown shooter who moves well off the ball, his 51 made 3-pointers last season were the best in the division.</p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1234982" first="Michael" last="Kascel"], Independence: 10.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks, 61.6 FG%</strong></p> <p>A mobile 6-7 big man who finishes effectively around the bucket and can protect the paint defensively, Kascel is also the division's top returning rebounder. </p> <p><strong>2022 Aiden Harris, Benton: 10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals</strong></p> <p>The Bobcats struggled last year but should be improved this year, and Harris is a big reason why. He led the team in scoring and rebounding last season and will lead a team that returns all of their production from last season.</p> <p><strong>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1235015" first="Jake" last="Weber"], Williamsburg: 8.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 47.1 3P%, 78.8 FT%</strong></p> <p>Weber is a pass-first lead guard who pairs well with the high-scoring Weisskopf. His 4.3 assists a game are the best among returnees in the division, and he's proven himself to be a real threat from the perimeter as a shooter as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Second Team</h4> <p>2022 Colin Buch, Benton</p> <p>2023 Blake Daugherty, Benton</p> <p>2022 Will DeSmet, Williamsburg</p> <p>2022 Daniel Brock, Independence</p> <p>2022 Ben Swails, Clear Creek-Amana</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>Honorable Mentions</h4> <p>2022 Sawyer Wendling, Independence<br /> 2024 Gavin Bridgewater, South Tama<br /> 2022 Gabe Hansen, Center Point-Urbana<br /> 2023 Ethan Harman, Williamsburg<br /> 2023 Easton Tupa, Center Point-Urbana</p>
