But Burton is doing his best to lead through the adversity. He erupted for 40 points in the Colts' lone victory of the season, a win over Newton. Burton is scoring 20+ pretty much every night and doing it in impressive fashion.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1454148"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Derby is off to a 5-0 start against good competition, and it's been Fisher-Brown (pictured) leading the way. He went for 25 points against the bevy of quality guards from McPherson, and 23 against the guards from Andover Central. He's averaging about 24 a game and orchestrating a team with several new components. Fisher-Brown has been a good player in past seasons, but he's taking it to the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1482763"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Corrales has helped the Falcons to a 3-1 start out of the gate. They will face much stiffer competition after the break, but give them credit for a good start. Corrales is shooting it well from deep, averaging about 15 points.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1212149"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"After the show he put on during the summer, it comes as no surprise that Steinmetz is exploding in his senior season. The Buffaloes are off to a 6-0 start. It's tough to judge the quality of their opponents since they played several Colorado teams in a tournament. But regardless, you can't argue with the 23 points Steinmetz is averaging, or with the 40% he's hitting from deep. Garden City is a veteran group worth keeping an eye on.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1588339"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"He's still laboring in the shadows of a couple of big namers at Wichita Heights, but Wilkins is building rapidly upon his great freshman season. He's demonstrating he is much more than a long, athletic leaper. He's showing an emerging set of skills.  Wilkins is scoring in double figures most games and is a threat to grab double-digit rebounds as well. And opponents are terrified to attempt a shot when he's anywhere nearby.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-639f32ff1ba93"} /-->
