About Cavil: Cavil is one of the best ball-handlers in the state, seemingly having the ball on a string when he’s in command of the offense. He’s a quick guard who uses that combination of speed, ball-handling, and pure scoring ability to put up points in bunches. In addition to his lofty scoring numbers, he’s also an extremely talented passer who sees the floor as well as just about anyone in the state. After playing his first three years at Des Moines Lincoln, Cavil has transferred to Johnston, where he’ll play alongside some really talented players on the wing who will complement his game well.
Why he can win Mr. Basketball: Johnston has a lot of young talent that will fit well with Cavil, and plenty of wins should come as a result. In terms of pure numbers, he’ll have one of the best four-year resumes of any of the candidates for the award, and if he’s able to lead the Dragons to the state tournament and some success in Des Moines, he could garner some consideration.
