SubscribeAs the journey for the state championship trophies begin, I will be taking a look at the teams that are likely going to the state tournament and find players within those teams who could take over and lead their teams to deep runs. I will do the 1A class in this article.
Cam is a big time talent who can do it all on the court. He plays aggressively, attacking the bucket at 100% speed every single time. He has an excellent three point shot and can sink it from 3 or 4 feet beyond the line. He has all the ability to take over games and lead Kings deep into the tournament.
Martin’s game has been evolving all season long and he has all the skill to take over any game.Martin’s offensive game is extremely well rounded. He can take his defender to the rim and finish through traffic, very athletically I should add. Martin can also stop on a dime and hit the mid-range shot, rising over his defenders. Kaupanger also has a deadly three point shot in his game, one of, if not, the best shooters in the class.
Luke has been having a great senior year and had led Zillah to a very solid year this season. He has grown on the court a lot since his junior year last year. I don’t think Navarre gets enough credit for being a smart scorer. He really takes his time working for good shots, getting defenders where he wants them, and attacking from a bunch of different spots.
Jeremiah has grown his game in a big way, improving on the offensive end quite a bit. He’s patient down low and has very good footwork. His footwork helps him do post moves to get by the opposing defenders. Jeremiah is a force in the paint. He will out-body most players when grabbing rebounds down low and is very aggressive on the boards. He’s starting to hit the mid-range shot consistently, which could be scary for opposing teams.
Boen is headed to Boise State next year to play defensive back for the football team. In the meantime, Phelps has been absolutely killing it on the basketball court, helping lead Freeman to a 19-2 record. He averages about 24 points a game and leads a roster with a lot of underclassman but is a fantastic leader and knows how to find his spots. He has a very high basketball IQ and that helps quite late in the season.
