<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2480990' first='Noah' last='Dietel'] of Litchfield (6'5 Pf). Dietel was the third leading scorer, second leading rebounder, and the top big for the Dragons. He moves into more of a focal point in his upperclassmen years. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2418720' first='Benjamin' last='Gallagher'] of Jackson County Central (5'11 Pg). The third key sophomore for JCC, Gallagher was a solid shooter and smart creator for JCC on their way to state. He's one of three players that will be a three year starter for a team expected to make a state push next year. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381754' first='Luke' last='Narum'] of Lake City (5'10 Pg). Luke was a steady reserve this season for the second place team in the state in Class AA. Very steady player that handles, moves the ball well, and is best described as a steady player. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381647' first='Jacob' last='Stiele'] of Twin Cities Academy (6'4 Sf). Scoring 17 a game at good height and doing against solid teams like Apple Valley, Rockford and others last year, Stiele is a player that I could really see emerge in 4AA this year. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2436922' first='Caleb' last='Taylor'] of Nova Classical (6'2 Sg). At 16 points and eight rebounds a game, Caleb led Noval Classical in terms of helping the team/program take a nice step forward last year winning double figure games. A shooter that made 39 percent of his threes and a player that competes hard giving his team double-doubles. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381767' first='Talen' last='Taylor'] of WEM (6'3 Sf). Taylor scored 17 points per game as a sophomore that helped his team to a .500 record and a nine game improvement. Taylor moves well and he can shoot the ball at a good percentage. Sets his shots up well moving off the ball. Good length. </p>
