<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(95) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2754662' first='Ellis' last='Hills-Carrier'] (Columbus)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-2 wing with a good feel for the game, Hills-Carrier can score from all three levels and has been a big-time contributor on both ends of the floor for the Wildcats, averaging 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(101) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2379147' first='Reese' last='Montgomery'] (Red Oak)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A walking double-double with soft hands and a physical frame, Montgomery has been dominant on the glass and in the painted area this year for the Tigers, averaging 16.7 points and 12.9 rebounds per game on 48-36-52 shooting splits. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(111) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2754705' first='Chaz' last='Lane'] (Clarion-Goldfield-Dows)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-4 forward who has a little bounce to him, Lane has been extremely productive for the Cowboys as a sophomore, leading the team in scoring (17.3), rebounding (8.4), steals (2.0), and blocks (1.1) per game. He has also shown a bit of playmaking and vision, averaging over 2 assists a contest, to boot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(125) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2406102' first='Asher' last='Stensrud'] (Lake Mills)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stensrud has played sparingly for the Bulldogs so far this season, but is a prospect that I'm encouraged by long-term. He's a physical forward with soft hands who does a good job carving out position in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(128) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2754681' first='Trevon' last='Keely'] (Paton-Churdan)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keely has been extremely productive for the Rockets, averaging 17.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 steals per game, leading the team in each category. P-C hasn't had a ton of success in recent years, and while their 6-9 record this year may not jump off the page, the six wins are more than they've had in the previous four years combined. Keely is the primary reason why.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
