2026 PF [player_tooltip player_id='2731814' first='Brady' last='Harr'] (Hampton-Dumont-CAL) -- 28 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3P, 6-9 FT), 28 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks [vs. Iowa Falls-Alden]   What a ridiculous state line for the 6-6/6-7 big man. 28 rebounds in a game is absurd, and it was only two fewer rebounds than Iowa Falls-Alden had as a team. A dominant big man with soft hands, good touch around the rim, and an athletic, physical frame that he uses to dominate the glass, this was the latest in a number of impressive outings from Harr this season.   2026 C [player_tooltip player_id='2413531' first='Cael' last='LaFrentz'] (Decorah) -- 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-5 FT), 20 rebounds, 11 blocks [vs. Charles City]   Speaking of ridiculous stat lines, check this one out from LaFrentz, who posted a triple-double with blocks against Charles City. A mobile 6-11 big man who runs the floor hard, finishes around the rim efficiently, and controls the glass on both ends of the floor, he was outstanding as a rim protector against the Comets.   2025 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2474854' first='Elliot' last='Carlson'] (Humboldt) -- 41 points (15-23 FG, 3-7 3P, 8-8 FT), 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals [vs. Newell-Fonda]   Carlson is a skilled shooter who can fill it up from all three levels, and he had his best game as a high schooler against the Mustangs, showcasing his ability to score from anywhere on the floor. Perhaps what was most impressive, though, is that he was also able to dish out eight helpers in addition to scoring in bunches.   2025 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2398061' first='Blake' last='Aalbers'] (MOC-Floyd Valley) -- 36 points (9-14 FG, 5-9 3P, 13-14 FT), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals [vs. LeMars]   The efficiency is what jumps out about this game from Aalbers, one of the leaders of a high-powered Dutchmen attack. He was able to routinely get to the free-throw line, knock down shots off the dribble or the catch, and get to the rim for buckets.   2026 SF [player_tooltip player_id='2413616' first='Gavin' last='McLaren'] (Atlantic) -- 27 points (11-14 FG, 1-2 3P, 4-9 FT), 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals [vs. Shenandoah]   One of two Trojans to have huge games against Shenandoah, McLaren dropped an extremely efficient 27 points, using his size and length to get to the rim and finish routinely. He's a capable shooting threat, but he's at his best when he's attacking the rim and putting pressure on opposing defenses.   2025 SG Kinnick Juhl (Atlantic) -- 27 points (9-22 FG, 6-13 3P, 3-4 FT), 1 rebound, 10 assists, 1 block [vs. Shenandoah]   Another Trojan who had a big game, Juhl also dropped 27 points against the Mustangs, doing most of his damage from behind the 3-point line. In addition to burying a number of shots from deep, he was great as a playmaker, dishing out 10 assists.   2026 CG [player_tooltip player_id='1978115' first='Trey' last='Bryte'] (ADM) -- 8 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3P), 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals (0 turnovers) [vs. Boone]   Bryte has been fantastic as a junior for the Tigers, and this game against Boone was just the latest in a number of great outings. He's able to impact the game on both ends of the floor even when he isn't scoring, as he showcased against the Toreadors, dishing out 13 assists with no turnovers.   2025 PF Jack Norton (Carlisle) -- 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3P, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 7 blocks [vs. West Marshall]   A big, athletic 6-6 forward, Norton was great in the paint against the Trojans, controlling the glass on both ends of the floor and serving as a dominant rim protector. He has been excellent all year as a defensive presence in the paint, but no outing has been as good as this one in that regard.

2026 PF Brady Harr Brady Harr 6'7" | C Hampton-Dumont-CAL | 2026 State IA (Hampton-Dumont-CAL) -- 28 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3P, 6-9 FT), 28 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks [vs. Iowa Falls-Alden]
