Here were the Junior Standouts from the week

The star of the week belonged to Tosi. He scored 35 points with rip thrus, tough contested layups, dunks and good footwork inside. He had at least 10 rebounds to go along with three or four blocks. His activity on defense was actually a big story line of the game.
Zayn Young Zayn Young 6'2" | SG Dobson | 2025 State AZ Dobson (Pictured)
A thicker framed scoring guard is built like a football player. He will score on put backs. deep threes, tough layups in traffic with either hand and is a great rebounder for his size. He will also block shots in his area and is a perfect compliment to senior guard Beard.
Tion Wright Tion Wright 6'0" | PG Carl Hayden | 2025 State AZ Carl Hayden
An athletic scoring lead guard likes to attack off the bounce. He is a smart passer and uses his length in the passing lanes to collect steals. He manages to get himself to the free throw line often or scores on contested layups.
Gage Lindsey Gage Lindsey 6'5" | PF Red Mountain | 2025 State AZ Red Mountain
A burly framed power forward can score it from inside and out. He will shoot the three with good form and has advanced post footwork with his back to the basket. He will chase rebounds in and out of his area and brings energy to the court.
Kofi Idris Kofi Idris 6'7" | PF Supreme Academy | 2026 State AZ Camelback
My first viewing of the big man and he impressed. He is a defensive type of post who will block shots in bunches with his size and length. He can score on put backs, rip thru, he has a nice free throw stoke and smartly keeps the ball high after rebounds.
Seraphin Iradukunda Seraphin Iradukunda 6'8" | PF Camelback | 2025 State AZ Camelback
A long and athletic shot blocker. He will score around the rim with layups and put backs. His size and movement in space keeps him on the floor.

A long armed power forward with broad shoulders. He has a real motor to rebound around the basket and his activity gets him to the free throw line.
Aken Logan Aken Logan 5'10" | CG Camelback | 2025 State AZ Camelback
A combo guard who is a natural scorer. He is very volume and can improve his shot selection plus keep his turnovers down but he is definitely talented to score. He is a very fast downhill attacker with a thicker upper body frame. He can pull-up from mid to the three off the dribble. He scored a team high 29 points.
