Brody had that splashy performance against a solid East Grand Forks squad. Those 41 tie the Grafton school record for the second-highest points in a single game. I did not hear how many 3-pointer Lillemoen hit but I have a feeling it was many!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1327797' first='Carter' last='Evanson'] (2026) |6'3 G| Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He scored 41 points the last time he played Shanley and that is who the Hawks have tonight. We are expecting another splashy performance this evening! Evanson is having an outstanding season with 26.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 5 apg, 3.8 spg, and 52 3FGM. We are expecting Easy$ to go over 1,000 career points this season as well. We rarely see EDC players score 1K points before a senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1651328' first='Colby' last='Flowers'] (2026) |6'4 PF| Wessington Springs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flowers put the "power" into Power Forward! Colby recently had a game of 30 points and 15 rebounds. He was good before this season, but now Flowers has turned into a STUD. Colby has had many other splashy games this season, his game is really blossoming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539077' first='DJ' last='Perrault'] (2025) |6'0 G| Grand Forks Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Knights are hot and Perrault is flaming. Last week, the Knights took down Fargo North 94-61 and Fargo Davies 79-56. In the win over Davies, DJ dropped 19 points, 5/5 on triples, and 2/2 inside the arc, he also threw down a filthy dunk.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2286030' first='Grant' last='Wilkinson'] (2026) |6'9 C| De Smet</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grant has had an impressive string of games where is scoring in the 20's. He is one of the elite BIGs in South Dakota and likely the best rebounder. Wilkinson is breaking records in the rebounding category. He is big, strong, and tough, but is also smart about reading and reacting to the ball. Grant is a STUD and a Double-Double machine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1548640' first='Kassen' last='Keough'] (2026) |6'0 G| Langford</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keough is having a breakout and splashy season for the Lions. Last week he had a game with 40 points and 8 triples! Kassen is putting about scary numbers this season and lighting the nets on fire. This Lion is quick, creative, relentless, has finely tuned-tuned skills, is a masterful 3-pointer shooter, and he can produce off the bounce. Keough is a name to know in SD hoops, his numbers and production are wild.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1384718' first='Marvin' last='Richard III'] (2026) |6'3 G| Pine Ridge </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Is 62 points in a single game splashy enough for you? That is a new South Dakota Class A single-game scoring record!! MR3 is nearing 2K career points, this baller is having a milestone season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1539675' first='Nathan' last='Stevenson'] (2027) |6'1 F| Dickinson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nathan "Muscle Man" Stevenson had a monster game against #2 Minot last week, the Midgets took the victory with a score of 84-78. Stevenson had an efficient offensive night with 20 points, 7/10 from the field, and 6/6 from the charity stripe. Add in 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 steals. This was the second time this season that Dickinson has taken town Minot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1929459' first='Trey' last='Hansen'] (2026) |6'4 G| Vermillion </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is long, uber-skilled, and a volume scorer. Trey put up massive numbers last season and is doing it again this year. Hansen seems to splash 20 or 30 points every night. He does not have a conscious and he can score from every level. Trey is a scoring machine, has all the moves, phenomenal footwork, and is an elite shot creator. I admire his finishing package.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1169145' first='Walker' last='Braaten'] (2025) |6'4 G| Westhope-Newburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A future D1 football player who can put up massive numbers. Walker Texas Ranger currently has 2,719 career points! Braaten is an all-encompassing player who scores from every level. At 6'4" and super-athletic, nobody can guard him single-handedly in class B. Braaten can score any way that he wants but he also cleans up the glass, throws precision passes, blocks shots, and creates turnovers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2318374,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/SplashyPlayers.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/SplashyPlayers.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-2318374" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
