Chris's Nebraska High School Basketball Opening Week Recap

<p>The Nebraska high school boy's basketball season is off to an exciting start and our local talent continues to grab attention all across the country. In this article, I will highlight some players who are already making an impact and working hard to take their game to the next level. These student athletes are not just playing, they're making a real impact and adding to Nebraska's basketball legacy. So, let's take a closer look at the players who are catching everyone's eye and making Nebraska proud on the basketball court!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0158.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0158.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2296571" /></a></figure>   <p>Goanar Bamach, a talented sophomore from the Class of 2026, who stands tall at 6'5" and weighs around 175 pounds. He is a versatile player who can play at positions 2 or 3 with great skills. In Class A, he is performing exceptionally well with an average of 22 points and 16 rebounds per game. He is a total double-double machine! In one of his recent games, Bamach was on fire, scoring 30+ points and grabbing 25 rebounds. He has excellent body control, which helps him finish at the rim and draw fouls. His length also makes him a nightmare for the opposition trying to score (active shot blocker). Goanar Bamach is one of the hidden gems of Nebraska's basketball, and his game has an urban flavor that is making noise on the court. Keep an eye on him. Can't wait to see more of what he brings to the table.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0046.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0046.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2296591" /></a></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1211386' first='Jadyn' last='Cascio-Jensen'] is a 6'3" sharpshooting guard who is an marksman on the court. He consistently drains shots from beyond the arc, even beyond the 23-ft mark. His shooting skills are above average, and he has improved his athletic prowess since last season, making him a serious force that will continue to improve. In my opinion, Jensen is the game-changer for Bellevue West's quest for a championship repeat. He doesn't just excel as a sniper, but also brings a gritty energy on both ends of the floor. Seeing him play last week reminded me just how good he could/will be. If Bellevue West gets him more shots they become stronger. At the moment he averages 8 points, 2 assists, and 3 rebounds. Look for those averages to increase!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0155-2.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0155-2.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2296616" /></a></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1131121' first='Neal' last='Mosser'] is an outstanding basketball player who has shown incredible skills and intelligence on the court. His performance in high school has been exceptional, and it's clear that he can compete with the best of them. Recently, I had the chance to watch him play, and I was impressed by his evolution into a true point guard with great maturity. Mosser has an impressive shooting range, and his jump shot is simply amazing (he'll for off for ten in a row if you don't get a hand up). However, he's not just a scorer; he's also a great team player who excels at passing the ball, especially in fast-break situations. Defensively, he's always in the mix, hustling on both ends of the court. What sets Mosser apart is his commitment to making his entire team shine. He's coachable and always looking for ways to help his teammates. Neal is currently averaging 15 points and 5 assists this season. His little brother is Major Mosser, who is also a talented basketball player, who seems to be following in his big brother's footsteps.</p>   <p></p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0184.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0184.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2296641" style="width:1322px;height:auto" /></a></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1529281' first='Tayvin' last='Zephier-Murphy'] is a 6'5" basketball player who is extremely dynamic on the court. He's not just a guard but is a complete package, with excellent skills in shooting, passing, dribbling, and throwing down epic dunks that leave the opposition stunned. The University of Nebraska at Omaha has already shown interest in him, and if he keeps playing like this, he will receive many offer emails. Moreover, he has a 4.3 GPA, proving that he's not just a great athlete but also academically talented. On the court, he's not just a fascinating player to watch, but he's also a natural leader who makes plays and holds it down. He is averaging 21 points per game right now (already posted a 30 point game this season).</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0145.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/DSC_0145.jpg?w=934" alt="" class="wp-image-2296684" /></a></figure>   <p>Dominik Rice is the senior point guard for the Running Rabbits. This guy is 6-foot tall and can knock down the long-range shot. He is the floor general of the team, with amazing ball-handling skills and the ability to orchestrate plays. Rice is not just a scorer, he can also drive past defenders with ease and set up his teammates for open shots. He has exceptional court vision and brings a lot of power to the game as a strong guard. On average, he scores 11 points per game and is definitely a player college coaches could benefit from.</p>   <p></p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/7TPDpHpDR5c </div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1529281' first='Tayvin' last='Zephier-Murphy'] With the saucy two-handed dunk.

Mosala is a popular eighth-grade basketball player who is already making waves in the basketball world. He's a big kid standing at 6'2" and weighing 215 pounds, which gives him a lot of muscle on the court. However, he's not just relying on his size. His mother has made sure coaches just don't stick him on the block but also increase his guard skills so he is prepared for all situations offensively. He's able to play both inside and outside the three-point line, making him a versatile player. It won't be surprising if Mosala becomes a 4 to 5 star recruit in high school basketball/football. He's got a laid-back personality, but he plays with an intensity that can't be ignored. Basketball isn't just a game for Mosala, he's making it his own. CJ also has good grades and will continue to. Keep an eye on him, as he's a prodigy in the making. He will be playing in Class A hoops next year and it's going to be epic to see what he achieves in the future.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/IMG_8050.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/12/IMG_8050.jpg?w=718" alt="" class="wp-image-2297579" /></a></figure>   <p>Meet Tono Littrell, a middle school hoops sensation making waves with his extraordinary skills. This 7th-grade baller is destined for greatness, standing out as one of the most promising players of his generation. Tono's got moves that'll leave you in awe, incredible shots off the dribble, smooth finishes, and exceptional ball-handling for his age. He makes driving to the basket look like a walk in the park. Plus, he's just received a second invite to the CP3 Camp. Super proud of this kid. Keep an eye on Tono as he heads to Creighton Prep for high school. The future's looking bright!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/C0s_hXROgam/ </div></figure>
