<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1384424' first='Alec' last='Blair'] | 2025 | De La Salle</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The two-sport star out of Northern California orchestrated everything in the Spartans' 50-42 win over Mira Costa. Blair, a 6-foot-6 wing who is also a highly-rated baseball prospect, scored 20 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists all while serving as the primary ball handler and playmaker for the De La Salle offense. Blair is signed with Oklahoma but will likely have a decision to make about his future once he's selected in the Major League Baseball draft.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2742353' first='Christian' last='Fernandez'] | 2025 | San Clemente</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fernandez is probably the most unknown player on this list but he has established himself as one of the best players in Orange County this season. The 6-foot-5 wing/forward scored 27 points with five rebounds and four assists in the Tritons' win over Damien and scored in a variety of was from strong drives and finishes to pull-up jumpers from three-point and mid-range areas.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">DeMarcus Henry | 2027 | Mater Dei</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-6 sophomore wing finished with a double-double - 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots - in the Monarchs win over Crean Lutheran. Henry is an athletic slasher and finisher with an intriguing basketball frame and quickly-improving skill-set.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1956524' first='Isaiah' last='Rogers'] | 2026 | Corona Centennial</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-3 junior has become one of the state's top prospects in the class because of his ability to put points on the board and he did that and more in Centennial's 16-point win over San Diego-based St. Augustine. Rogers finished with 25 points, including six three-pointers, 10 rebounds and five assists.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":4} -->
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jakob Majok | 20206 | Crean Lutheran</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-7 forward kept the Saints within striking distance against host Mater Dei with a 21-point, 10-rebound and three blocked shot performance. Majok has made big strides as a prospect, mainly with his ability to attack the basket off the dribble and finish through or above contact. The junior is a high motor and competitive prospect with great size for the position.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1335934' first='Lantz' last='Stephenson'] | 2025 | Coronado (NV)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-6 wing/forward played all 32 minutes of the Cougars one-point win over Whitney Young of Chicago and finished with 25 points and nine rebounds. Stephenson's combination of size, physicality and athleticism lent to his ability to drive and slash his way to the rim and finish through and over rim protectors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":4} -->
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Sydney Natche | 2025 | Village Christian</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Natche is emerging as an intriguing under-the-radar prospect with tremendous upside. At 6-feet-1 with elite vertical athleticism and speed with the ball, the unsigned senior is best in open court settings where he can slash his way to the rim and finish with power, finesse or craftiness. Natche has continued to improve on his perimeter jump shot and is an instinctual defender. He finished with 26 points and seven steals in a win over Orange Lutheran.</p>
