Here are some of the top tandems in 1A (in no particular order):
Dighton – Daniel Cramer Daniel Cramer 5'10" | CG Dighton | 2025 State KS and Carson Shimer Carson Shimer 6'3" | C Dighton | 2024 State KS :
A classic inside/outside combo, guard Cramer has earned a ton of accolades already in his career as one of the top guards in the 1A ranks. He was one of the state leaders in both steals and assists as a sophomore. Shimer is ready for a huge senior year after dealing with injuries. He’s a double-double threat who blocks shots and is athletic for a 6-foot-4 post.
South Gray – Joey Dyck Joey Dyck 6'2" | SF South Gray | 2024 State KS and Dominic Martin Dominic Martin 6'0" | CG Lyndon | 2024 State KS :
A pair of seniors with good size and versatility to play guard or forward, Dyck and Martin will be a tandem to watch this year. Dyck starred in the state tournament a year ago, but Martin was really good as well for the third-place Rebels. Both can handle the ball and both get after it on the glass.
LaCrosse – Gage Burk and Caden Morgan Caden Morgan 6'2" | SF Lacrosse | 2024 State KS :
The Leopards return a lot of talent, led by seniors Burk and Morgan. Morgan is a versatile forward who can shoot from the perimeter, distribute the ball and is an active defender. Burk is a long, lean interior player who defends the lane and passes well from his position. They will give LaCrosse a long frontline.
Elyria Christian – Ty Romero Ty Romero 6'4" | SF Elyria Christian | 2025 State KS and Johnny Unruh:
Elyria Christian has a ton of size for a small school. They are led by Romero, who has the length of a center, but the skills of a guard. He handles the ball, passes and shoots with great skill and has nice athleticism in a long, thin frame. Unruh is not as tall, but just about as versatile. He is a distributor who also creates havoc on the defensive end.
Lebo – Zach Oswald Zach Oswald 6'3" | PF Lebo | 2025 State KS and Grayson Shoemaker Grayson Shoemaker 6'1" | SF Lebo | 2024 State KS :
Another pair of versatile, interchangeable parts, Oswald and Shoemaker stuffed the stat sheet for the Wolves en route to state last year. Shoemaker had a 30-point game at the tournament. They each get after it on the glass too. With some good 2023s graduated from the program, these two should carry an even bigger load as seniors.
