Policky controlled the painted area for ACGC, scoring 14 points on an efficient 6-9 shooting with 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. He's undersized for a traditional big man, but he's a good athlete, physical, and he has great hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1622174' first='Luke' last='Hellige'] (Holy Trinity Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holy Trinity's season ended at the hands of Notre Dame, ending Hellige's high school career, but he went out with yet another strong showing, scoring 18 points with 10 rebounds and 2 assists. He's a 6-5 wing that I'm really intrigued by.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2731752' first='Amaury' last='Thomas'] (Bishop Garrigan)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bouncy, explosive athlete, Thomas has been a revelation for the Golden Bears this season and he was really good against Lake Mills, scoring 16 points on 6-9 shooting with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2617521' first='Jeshua' last='Phillips'] (St. Mary's, Remsen)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phillips is a long, athletic wing who can do a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor. He uses his length and athleticism to impact the game defensively, blocking 4 shots, and he showed that he can get to the rim at will, finishing with 19 points on 8-12 shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1759937' first='Collin' last='Homan'] (St. Mary's, Remsen)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Homan was extremely efficient in the Hawks' win over St. Albert, scoring 17 points on 8-13 shooting to go with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. He's a physically intimidating force in the paint on both ends of the floor with good hands and footwork.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Kohen Holland (Montezuma)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holland had a really nice senior season for the Braves, and his career ended in disappointment but with another really solid game, posting a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds. A 6-5 forward with good hands, he finishes well around the rim and can protect the paint defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1765521' first='Cal' last='Heydon'] (Coon Rapids-Bayard)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-4 forward who can score inside and out, Heydon was a monster against Mount Ayr, scoring 21 points and pulling down 20 rebounds, including 12 on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Carson Maston (Lynnville-Sully)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maston was strong on both ends of the floor in the Hawks' narrow loss to Madrid, scoring 15 points on 4-7 shooting (7-8 FT) with 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. An athletic, physical 6-3 forward with great hands and touch around the rim, he put together a strong showing in his final high school game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2439640' first='Jevyn' last='Severson'] (Madrid)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madrid survived a real scare against Lynnville-Sully and was able to escape in part because of the strong play of the freshman big man, whose size, athleticism, and skill level makes him a ridiculous difficult matchup at this level already. He had 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1765534' first='Brayson' last='Mulder'] (MMCRU)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-4 wing who has had a really nice junior year for the Royals, Mulder kept their best season ever going with 18 points on 7-13 shooting with 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal. He has the size advantage to score over most defenders and is a talented playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
