Under the Radar Large School Districts Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top under the radar standouts who put in some early work this week to start district play at the Class 4, 5 and 6 levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brin Lewis (MICDS): The 6'4" 2023 wing was on fire in the Rams' 58-36 victory over Whitfield in the Class 4, District 4 semifinals at MICDS. Lewis scored a game-high 22 points and made six 3-pointers. He knocked down four triples in the first half as the Rams broke the game open in the first half. He has been a steady performer throughout the season with his perimeter shooting. He is averaging nine points a game while shooting 43 percent from the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1432444' first='Davin' last='Hanna'] (Kearney): The 6'1" 2024 guard scored a game high 29 points in the Bulldogs' 69-51 victory over Winnetonka in the first round of the Class 5, District 8 tournament at Platte County. He was just as impressive on the defense end as he took four charges on the evening, which is tremendous and very unselfish on his part.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1440500' first='Blake' last='Struemph'] (Fort Zumwalt South): The 6'3" 2023 sharpshooter scored 25 points and knocked down seven 3-pointers in the Bulldogs' 81-37 victory over Hannibal in the Class 5, District 4 quarterfinals at Parkway Central.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrett Snyder (Hollister): The 6'2" 2023 guard scored 23 points in Hollister's 64-43 victory over Forsyth in the Class 4, District 11 semifinals at Hollister. He has excellent shooting range that extends well beyond the 3-point line. He combines that with explosive athleticism, which he displayed when he converted a steal into a highlight reel dunk last night over a bigger defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Chapman (John Burroughs): The 6'0" 2023 guard scored a game-high 16 points in the Bombers' 54-34 victory over Priory of the semifinals of the Class 4, District 4 tournament at MICDS. Chapman played with great energy and focus at both ends of the court as the Bombers pulled away from an upset-minded Priory team in the fourth quarter. He scored eight points in the final frame. He attacked off the dribble well, hit a couple of 3-pointers and also converted a pair of steals into transition layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morgan Vaughn (Seneca): The 6'1 2024 guard scored 26 points in Seneca's 51-46 victory over Monett in the Class 4, District 12 semifinals at Monett. The solidly built Vaughn also grabbed five rebounds and knocked down a pair of 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cole Fuerebacher (Glendale): The 6'4" 2023 scored a game high 25 points in the Falcons 72-70 overtime victory over Willard in the Class 5. District 6 tournament at Willard. He plays with a high motor with his ability to score and rebound around the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>D.J. Mays (Marquette): The 6'4 2023 forward had 24 points and 10 rebounds in the Mustangs 70-59 victory over Lebanon in the first round of the Class 6, District 2 at Eureka. He is a high energy player who plays with max effort at both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Max Lipe (Priory): The 6'0 2023 guard scored a game high 20 points in the Ravens' district semifinal loss to John Burroughs. He kept the Ravens competitive for three quarters against the top-seeded Bombers. He scored on some fearless drives in the lane against JBS' tall front line and he hit a pair of 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
