Pass The Rock: Top Returning Assist Producers in Class 5A/4A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some players like to distribute the basketball to their teammates for open shots. Here are some of the top assist leaders in Classes 5A and 4A returning for the 2024-25 season:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1300482' first='Josiah' last='Fresquez'], Los Alamos</strong>: Fresquez's growth as a passer has been impressive. As a freshman in 2021-22, he averaged 2.2 apg. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.7 apg. Last season, he averaged 4.8 apg. So, he has more than doubled his assists per game since he was a freshmen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2143685' first='Sebastian' last='Hernandez'], Highland</strong>: The defending Class 4A champions return several key contributors from 2023-24. Hernandez averaged 3.6 assists and 7.8 ppg for the Hornets last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1695659' first='Luciano' last='Mondragon'], Valley</strong>: Mondragon stands out not for his number of assists (70) but for his impressive assists-to-turnover ratio. He averaged 3 assists for every turnover in 2023-24, by far the highest ratio in Class 4A last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1176301' first='Latavious' last='Morris'], ABC Prep</strong>: Morris has announced his commitment to ABC Prep for 2024-25. Last season for Atrisco Heritage, he averaged 4.6 assists per game as  well as 24.9 ppg. Thus, much of the Jaguars' offense ran through Morris. Will he duplicate those numbers at ABC Prep?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2373612' first='Aidyn' last='Pacheco'], Moriarty</strong>: Pacheco averaged 3.2 assists per game in 2023-24 for a Moriarty team that struggled. Pacheco will be counted on heavily by the Pintos next season.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RGSunSports/status/1763417607468683325","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RGSunSports/status/1763417607468683325 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Latavious_m/status/1791192067911319596","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Latavious_m/status/1791192067911319596 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
