<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1371603" first="Derrick" last="Buggi"] | Papillion La Vista</strong></p> <p>Buggi Jr. proved to be a reliable ball-handler and stout defender at the point of attack in his first season at the point for Papillion La Vista. The counting stats won’t jump off the page, but he was a steadying force on the court for his teammates.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416238" first="Walton" last="Busby"] | Omaha Northwest </strong></p> <p>The Huskies point guard is quick in the open floor, and his handle allows him to get where he wants faster than any of his defenders. Defensively, Busby has great hands and he tracks the ball like a free safety.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1371596" first="De’Shawn" last="Higgins-Evans"] | Omaha North</strong></p> <p>If you’re looking for a dog on defense, Higgins-Evans is your guy. He takes pride in locking his man down, and his teammates feed off his energy and playmaking ability on that end.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="890595" first="Blake" last="Sindelar"] | Howells-Dodge</strong></p> <p>Sindelar improved signficantly year by year. He had his best shooting season of his career as a senior, shooting 35% from distance on just over 4 attempts per game. The percentage was impressive considering the increased level of difficulty of his shot diet from a season ago.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1300958" first="Ben" last="Hammond"] | Norfolk Catholic</strong></p> <p>The three-point specialist for the Knights had one of the best shooting seasons in the state this season. Hammond shot 38% on over 7 attempts per game.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1300993" first="Pani" last="Bol"] | Bellevue East</strong></p> <p>Bol is an excellent rebounder for his position. His athleticism helps him get rebounds that most players would not have a chance at. Combine those gifts with his pursuit, and he becomes a menace on the glass.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1371597" first="Ace" last="Moore"] | Omaha North</strong></p> <p>There were flashes of great rim protection and rebounding this season for Moore. He was especially effective when helping from the weak side. His timing is solid and is able to contest without fouling.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1371600" first="Max" last="Parker"] | Ashland-Greenwood</strong></p> <p>Parker gave the C1 state champions great energy whenever he was on the court. He crashed the glass, ran the floor, and could step out and hit a three. His spacing opened driving lanes for the Bluejay guards.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1371599" first="Evan" last="Shepard"] | Ashland-Greenwood</strong></p> <p>Shepard was the go-to spot-up shooter for Ashland-Greenwood this season. He was a consistent producer for the Bluejays, and he hit the biggest single shot of the high school season in his final game. </p> <p>https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsNE/status/1502717062057275398?s=20&amp;t=IWEOiCSM6r0iM1_LAx0WwA</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416239" first="TJ" last="Covington"] | Boys Town</strong></p> <p>If a player is able to grab over 5 rebounds per game at 5’9", they’ve clearly got some heart. Covington is an ultimate competitor, and he played his best basketball as a senior.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416234" first="Tony" last="Berger"] | Riverside</strong></p> <p>Berger is a physical player who can finish through contact and move players off their spot. He is an aggressive driver, and he was better at using his rim pressure to create for teammates this season.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416235" first="Jake" last="Peitz"] | Hartington-Newcastle</strong></p> <p>Peitz did a little bit of everything for the Wildcats in his final year. He forced turnovers, rebounded, moved the ball, and knocked his threes at a decent clip.</p>
