<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1433337' first='AJ' last='Demirov'] (Crystal Lake South)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #27</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Demirov had an epic junior season. He took his team to the super sectional averaging 19.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 steals a contest. The lead guard for Crystal Lake South was a standout with the way he played displaying an excellent feel for the game with his passing feel. Slick ball handler that can win off the bounce. Takes and makes tough jumpers. Primed for a big summer.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375614' first='Brayden' last='Trimble'] (Mt. Zion)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #79</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Trimble will more than likely never pick up a basketball in college as he is one of the state's premier wide receivers, but he also emerged as a legit hooper this season. Two way threat that can defend at a high level, score in transition, and impact the game with his athleticism.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375621' first='Brayden' last='Saling'] (Williamsville)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #94</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Saling caught our attention at the state finals for the 2A school. The 5'11” point guard is a southpaw that has a clean looking jumper from two and three along with a nifty scoop shot to go with it!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2217980' first='Phoenix' last='Childs'] (Phillips)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #106</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Childs is a strong bodied and angular wing that was huge for Phillips down the stretch in their championship run. Three and D wing that can knock down shots, really defend, and is good in the open floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375627' first='Marquis' last='Vance'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #135</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Vance is a high-energy forward who had some big games for Marist throughout the year. He was the perfect glue guy to bridge the gap between the veterans on the team and talented sophomore class.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766504' first='Caden' last='Workman'] (Brother Rice)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #136</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Workman put together a great close to his junior year. On a Brother Rice squad that had a ton of talent it was Workman that consistently stepped up during the second half of the season with big games giving him momentum heading into the spring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375631' first='Kobe' last='Taylor'] (Alton)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #137</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Taylor is a 6'3” small forward that is long and lean. The lefty is good at putting it on the deck for straight line takes and getting out in transition for scores. Potential as a shooter and defender on a young and talented Alton squad.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2375633' first='Darien' last='Green'] (Christ the King)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Current Ranking: #148</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Slick 6'3” junior shooting guard that is one to track down the road! He put up numbers playing off one of the better bigs in 2A. Slick ball handler and explosive driver who flashes as a shooter as well. Look for him to post big numbers as a senior.</p>
