<p><strong>Player to Watch:</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1598053' first='Nolan' last='Wahl'] - The 6'6 forward from CAL is having a big AAU season and has already made the Adidas Gold first team for the opening live period weekend. Wahl is a strong player who can score on the block or away from the basket. He could be the key to a good run for Vision this weekend.</p>

<p><strong>X Factor:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Deshawn Hall - A 6'3 shooting guard from Moore, Hall had a big season for the Mustangs and should be a top 10 player in the 6th region as a Senior. Deshawn is very athletic and capable of getting hot from outside. A lot of upside for the big guard from Louisville.</p>

<p><strong>New Name:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Payton Mayhorn - Mayhorn has been at Henry Clay for 3 years and always passed the eye test but almost never got in games when I was in attendance. After averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds per game last season, it's now or never for Payton to make a big push to get in our rankings and to start impressing college coaches.</p>
