SD State B Tournament: Prep Hoops Dakotas All-Tournament Team

The South Dakota State B Tournament held in Aberdeen, South Dakota, brought an unmatched energy and atmosphere to Don Meyer Court. For the all-tournament teams we'll breakdown mostly statistics in the tournament, then a further comprehensive prospect evaluation on all the notable prospects to come.   Also, I didn't want to limit the all-tournament teams to a specific number of players, rather placing those that Prep Hoops Dakotas felt deserved recognition for their state tournament performances.   <h2>Tournament MVP </h2>   <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='963766' first='Damon' last='Wilkinson'] - 6'10” C 2023 — De Smet</h2>   Damon was clearly the most impactful interior prospect in the tournament. He was a mismatch the entire tournament and was a clear outlier — with his size and ability to control the paint. A rebounding machine throughout the tournament, leading De Smet to its third consecutive state title. Stat lines of 18 points, 20 rebounds, 2 blocks in the championship game vs Lower Brule — in game 2, Aberdeen Christian brought a lot of bodies at Wilkinson — he contributed 9 points and 16 rebounds — Game 1 vs Viborg-Hurley, he produced 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks.   <h2>Prep Hoops Dakotas All-Tournament Team</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1625203' first='Kadyn' last='Fast'] - 6'0" PG 2024 - De Smet - Game 1 vs Viborg-Hurley -- 14 points (6-12 FG) (2-5 3FG), 2 assists, 1 steal -- Game 2 vs Aberdeen Christian -- 11 points (5-9 FG) 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal -- Championship game vs Lower Brule -- 10 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal   [player_tooltip player_id='1725470' first='George' last='Jensen'] - 6'5" Wing 2024 - De Smet - Game 1 vs Viborg-Hurley -- 9 points (3-6 FG) (1-2 3FG), 4 rebounds, 2 assists -- Game 2 vs Aberdeen Christian -- 11 points (4-10 FG) (1-2 3FG), 6 rebounds, 4 blocks -- Championship game vs Lower Brule -- 9 points (3-8 FG) (1-3 3FG), 6 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals   [player_tooltip player_id='1552589' first='Kasen' last='Janssen'] - 6'5" Wing 2023 - De Smet - Game 1 vs Viborg-Hurley -- 12 points (5-9 FG) (2-3 3FG), 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 steal -- Game 2 vs Aberdeen Christian -- 9 points (4-9 FG), 9 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals -- Championship game vs Lower Brule -- 9 points (3-9 FG) (1-5 3FG), 9 rebounds, 1 steal   [player_tooltip player_id='963747' first='Joe' last='Sayler'] - 6'4" SG 2023 - White River - Joe finishes his career 5th all-time in South Dakota history with 2,702 career points -- Game 1 vs Faith -- 24 points (8-18 FG) (3-7 FG) -- Game 2 vs Lower Brule -- 28 points (11-22 FG) (3-11 3FG), 8 rebounds, 3 assists -- Game 3 vs Aberdeen Christian -- 39 points (14-28 FG) (3-10 3FG), 6 rebounds, 1 steal   [player_tooltip player_id='1266275' first='Nic' last='Marshall'] - 6"1" PG 2024 - White River - Game 1 vs Faith -- 21 points (9-14 FG), 7 assists (1 turnover), 5 rebounds -- Game 2 vs Lower Brule -- 2 points (1-9 FG), 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 3 steals -- Game 3 vs Aberdeen Christian -- 17 points (7-16 FG), 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, 3 steals   [player_tooltip player_id='1227920' first='Gavin' last='Thigh'] - 5'11" G 2023 - Lower Brule - Game 1 vs Castlewood -- 34 points (10-13 FG) (6-8 3FG) (8-10 FT) -- Game 2 vs White River -- 8 points (4-13 FG) (0-3 3FG), 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals -- Championship game vs De Smet - 15 points (4-18 FG) (2-9 3FG), 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals   [player_tooltip player_id='963762' first='Brian' last='LaRoche Jr'] - 6'1" G 2023 - Lower Brule - Game 1 vs Castlewood -- 15 points (7-16 FG) (1-5 3FG) -- Game 2 vs White River -- 15 points (6-12 FG) (2-5 3FG), 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals -- Championship game vs De Smet -- 16 points (7-18 FG) (2-8 3FG), 4 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals   [player_tooltip player_id='1327459' first='Bryon' last='Laue'] - 6'8" PF/C 2025 - Castlewood - Game 1 vs Lower Brule -- 25 points (12-13 FG), 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal -- Game 2 vs Faith -- 10 points (4-9 FG), 17 rebounds, 3 blocks -- Game 3 vs Viborg-Hurley -- 4 points (2-8 FG), 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 steal   [player_tooltip player_id='963783' first='Malek' last='Wieker'] - 6'1" G 2023 - Aberdeen Christian - Game 1 vs Ethan -- 15 points (4-11 FG) (3-6 3FG), 6 rebounds -- Game 2 vs De Smet -- 9 points (4-15 FG), 7 rebounds -- Game 3 vs White River -- 17 points (6-13 FG) (4-7 3FG), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals   [player_tooltip player_id='963765' first='Ethan' last='Russell'] - 6'7" Wing 2023 - Aberdeen Christian - Game 1 vs Ethan -- 13 points (5-9 FG) (3-4 3FG), 5 rebounds -- Game 2 vs De Smet -- 8 points (3-14 FG), 9 rebounds, 1 block -- Game 3 vs White River -- 22 points (8-11 FG) (1-3 3FG), 12 rebounds, 1 block   [player_tooltip player_id='1819685' first='Jackson' last='Schauer'] - 6'1" G 2024 - Faith - Game 1 vs White River -- 15 points (7-12 FG) (1-2 3FG), 8 rebounds, 4 assists -- Game 2 vs Castlewood -- 22 points (5-16 FG) (2-5 3FG) (10-10 FT), 4 rebounds, 2 steals -- Game 3 vs Ethan -- 36 points (12-16 FG) (5-5 3PT) (7-7 FT) -   [player_tooltip player_id='1819752' first='Caden' last='Selby'] - 6'7" Wing 2024 - Faith - Game 1 vs White River -- 15 points (5-8 FG) (4-7 3FG), Game 2 vs Castlewood -- 11 points (4-14 FG) (1-7 3FG), 9 rebounds, 1 steal -- Game 3 vs Ethan -- 26 points (11-18 FG) (3-9 3FG), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks   [player_tooltip player_id='1535886' first='Nick' last='Hanson'] - 6'6" F 2025 - Viborg-Hurley - Game 1 vs De Smet -- 16 points (6-14 FG) (3-7 3FG), 7 rebounds, 2 blocks -- Game 2 vs Ethan -- 10 points (4-8 FG) (1-2 3FG), 10 rebounds, 3 blocks -- Game 3 vs Castlewood -- 10 points (4-11 FG), (0-5 3FG), 8 rebounds, 6 blocks, 1 steal
