Preseason All-Conference Teams: Corner

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951833' first='Braedon' last='Godfread'] (Sidney)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sidney won just six games last season, but with their top nine scorers returning they should be improved. Godfread is the team's most impactful two-way player; an athletic forward who can protect the paint, control the glass, and finish around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951833' first='Braedon' last='Godfread'] (Sidney): 14.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.4 blocks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Godfread didn't lead the Cowboys in any statistical category other than blocks last season, but he's their best two-way player, providing versatility on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Michael Hensley (Sidney): 14.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 steals, 49.8 FG%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hensley led the Cowboys in scoring and rebounding last season and should be the focal point of the offensive attack again as a senior for what should be perhaps the most improved team in the league. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Evan Gettler (Stanton): 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals, 77.8 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gettler was really productive for the Vikings as a junior, finishing second on the team in scoring, third in rebounding, and tied for first in assists per game. With two other double-figure scorers graduating, he'll have a chance to see his numbers skyrocket as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Jackson Embree (East Mills): 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.1 steals, 48.8 FG%, 38.3 3P%, 75.0 FT%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Embree led a balanced attack for the Wolverines last season and will become the undisputed leader of the group as a senior following the graduations of the next four scorers. If East Mills is going to maintain their standing as the top team in the conference, it will be because Embree takes another step.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Bode Wyman (Griswold): 11.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.4 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wyman was a solid all-around player for the Tigers as a junior, ranking second on the team in scoring and assists, and leading in assists and steals. Griswold returns everyone and should be improved behind Wyman and company.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 Keith Thompson (Hamburg)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Peyton Cook (Griswold)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2731804' first='Isaiah' last='Sholes'] (Essex)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 Sawyer Forney (Fremont-Mills)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Kolt Payne (Sidney)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Grant Whitehead (Sidney)<br>2026 Mason Reed (Fremont-Mills)<br>2026 Anders Langille (Fremont-Mills)<br>2025 Sheldon Vandenberg (East Mills)<br>2025 Brody Gibbs (Stanton)<br>2025 Hogan Hook (Griswold)<br>2025 Auden Wilson (Griswold)<br>2025 Andreas Buttry (Sidney)<br>2025 Brody Gibbs (Stanton)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
