I’m not sure if it’s fair to call Kade a breakout player, as he was doing his thing a year ago, however he’s taken his game to another level with his efficiency. Snyder is currently in the midst of a 60-40-80 season, shooting 60% from the field, 40 percent from the three point line and 80 percent from the charity stripe.
Saw a little of Bell during the Summer and his frame impressed me. In addition to his physique, he displayed good downhill driving ability. His play has carried over as he has averaged over 15 per game to start the season.
Highlights
Another player that has taken a good freshmen season to another level. Peterson owns perhaps the prettiest jumper in the state, with textbook form, and a sweet high release. He’s banged home a remarkable 25 three pointers in his first 7 games.
Has come from nowhere to get his name on the radar. He does it the old fashion way, earning every bucket he gets, with tough drives and hard finishes around the rim.
It’s fun watching players develop from year to year. Madsen is a player that I got to watch a lot of as a middle school player, and seeing him improve in high school has been a lot of fun. He’s had a small growth spurt, which has allowed him to dominant inside at the 1A level, for new powerhouse Green Valley Christian.
Highlights
Clark is a dangerous team, and it’s because of players like Anderson. He’s a unique player that brings a ton of skills to the squad, including his ability to clean the glass. The forward has carved out a role as one of the top glass cleaners in the state, while increasing his overall scoring.
I’ve seen glimpses of Iwuoha over the past year, but looks like he’s taken the next step. The forward has found his role on a Centennial team that has been better than originally believed. He’s proven to be an active player capable of rebounding at a high level, during his sophomore year.
If you’ve been around me, during a Bishop Manogue game you know I’m a huge fan of Sorensen. The sophomore has carved out a niche as a play maker, consistently making the correct play for his team.
Highlights
Knight highlights the depth of Clark’s sophomore class. He’s made good use of his minutes, proving to be an active defender in the Chargers zone, while impacting games with his transition and playmaking ability.
