<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] of Cherry (2027). Guess who was on the dribble attack all day again? The Cherry guard really has few equals in Class A when it comes to speed and that is what led to the eight field goal makes and 16 points against Nevis. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jaxton Hastad of Dawson-Boyd (6'3, 2027). Hastad was a big part of the DB win scoring on 7 of 11 attempts for his 15 points plus he grabbed eight rebounds and dished out six assists. It's been big name after big game for the top DB players and now we can throw Jaxton in there. The Jacks may not be as big next year but they sure have talent coming back including Hastad. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2387331' first='Grant' last='King'] of Caledonia (2028). Grant's composure for a player his age in the state semi-final really stood out to me. It was tough, Albany is a matured and physical senior team and there were some rough spots but Grant's level of skill as well as his composure really caught the eye. </p>
