It would be easy to put Christian Doerr Christian Doerr 6’3″ | SG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY here after his strong week but he’s been featured a ton in the last month. Instead, let’s shine the light on his backcourt mate. Kyran is a dynamic playmaker who had 4 strong showings over the course of the run to the championship. Tilley was able to score the ball consistently and provide tenacious on-ball defense for all 4 games.
Ward has been turning the corner in his development a little as of late. Brax is finally starting to play like the 6’9 big body that he is instead of floating around the perimeter half the time. Thanks to that, Brax is seeing improved numbers in both scoring and rebounding and looks like a future scholarship level recruit. With his high academics, Ward would be a steal at the D3 level too.
Luke has shown himself to be a consistent scoring option for a Catholic team that needs another capable weapon next to Brian Griffith Brian Griffith 5’9″ | PG Owensboro Catholic | 2023 State KY . Beickman’s development could be the key to the Aces getting to Rupp Arena in March. Luke is a tough driver and a nice shooter who has a well rounded game and figures to be the go-to scorer for Coach Riley next season.
Speaking of tough, Beau Baker Beau Baker 6’7″ | PF Washington County | 2024 State KY was a man amongst boys against LCA, carrying them to a win and making the game winning free throw for his team. In the second round, Baker didn’t score the ball as well (he still led his team in scoring) but he did still rebound and defend well enough to hang with Owen County for all 4 quarters before falling short.
