<p>At the top of the conference we are going with Wheaton Academy who has the best player in the conference in [player_tooltip player_id='2125634' first='Hayden' last='Schroeder']. The power forward is a top 5 junior with his skilled offensive game behind able to score with touch around the hoop and in the paint. Mobile on the defensive end. [player_tooltip player_id='2413169' first='Noah' last='Tink'] is an emerging young wing.</p>

<p>The defending 1A state champs return the core of their team led by point guard Tyjuan Hunter and forward [player_tooltip player_id='2372438' first='Jaiden' last='Simmons']. Hunter is a smaller guard that is dynamic with the rock as a scorer and playmaker. He is the true leader of this team! Simmons brings big time athleticism on both ends of the floor. [player_tooltip player_id='2876526' first='TJ' last='Huston'] is another name to track.</p>

<p>CTK lost quite a bit, but we really like what Michael Thomas brings to the table here for them as a scoring combo guard.</p>

<p>This is a squad that could really breakout this year. Football standouts [player_tooltip player_id='2437681' first='Richie' last='Darr'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2411845' first='Karter' last='Krutsinger'] are coming off strong summers and are legit small college recruits that can be impact high school players. Couple sleepers are big man Callaghan O'Connor and wing [player_tooltip player_id='2407304' first='Coen' last='Demack'].<br><br></p>
