<p class="text-gray-700">Driggers is the kind of player who instantly changes the vibe of a game the moment he checks in. He's a big, active force for Village and always moving, always engaged and always looking to make something happen. He can throw down dunks with ease, step out and knock down the three, and sees the floor well enough to hit teammates in stride for easy buckets. That combination of size, skill and vision is rare and it's a huge part of why he's ranked. This season we expect Driggers to take another big step forward. With his confidence growing and his game expanding, he's primed to be a matchup nightmare who impacts the game in every possible way</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Schmeeckle is a major piece for Silver Creek, bringing a blend of size, skill and nonstop effort that makes him hard to miss. He plays big and uses his frame well, finishing inside with strength while also stepping out to knock down shots from the perimeter. That inside out versatility keeps defenses guessing and opens up the floor for everyone around him. On defense his hustle and relentlessness stands out just as much as his offense. He's active, physical and always willing to do the dirty work whether it's contesting shots, fighting for rebounds, or getting his hands in passing lanes. With his combination of toughness, scoring, and effort Schmeeckle is poised to be a key contributor this season and rise in later rankings</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Elbe is that player every team loves to have anchoring the paint. Down low he's a problem for anyone because he's strong, composed and able to score through contact with a soft touch around the rim. Once he establishes position in the post his footwork and technique is sound which gets clean looks at the basket. What really sets him apart is the energy he brings on both ends but really stands out on the defensive side. He plays with a high motor, contesting everything, battling for every rebound and making life tough for anyone who tries to attack inside. That combination of toughness, scoring ability and nonstop effort is exactly why he's earned his spot in the rankings. This season expect Elbe to take another leap forward as a true interior force and a tone setter for University</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Harrison is one of those players who makes the game feel fast, fun and dangerous for opponents. He's a smooth perimeter scorer who can heat up in a hurry, but it's the way he moves that really sets him apart. He flies around the court, runs the floor hard and constantly puts pressure on defenses by getting downhill with ease. Give him even a sliver of space, and he's already at the rim or pulling up for a clean jumper. That nonstop motor and ability to score from multiple spots on the floor are big reasons why he's earned his ranking. This season expect Harrison to be a spark for Doherty by pushing the pace, breaking down defenses and turning momentum in an instant</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McAllister made a name for himself with his play in the paint and a skill set that keeps expanding. His size immediately stands out, but it's the versatility that really makes him dangerous. He can step out and hit shots with confidence, then go right back to finishing strong around the rim. He runs the floor well for his size and puts himself in position for easy scores in transition. Defensively he has presence and toughness especially when protecting the basket. McAllister disrupts drives, challenges everything inside and forces opponents to rethink their approach. His blend of mobility, touch and interior toughness is a big reason he's earned his ranking. This season expect him to emerge as one of Liberty's more impactful two way players</p>
