<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Rocky Rhodes, Tabiona</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not only does Rocky have a great name, but he also has a solid game on the basketball court. The 6'2 junior has already had a 30-point game and a 20-point game to start the season. Although Tabiona is 0-2, they are improving, and so is Rhodes. Expect consistent effort from Rhodes every night he plays.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2623964' first='Kale' last='Chowning'], Manila</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chowning is a small PG (5'5), but he can hoop. He's had two solid games, establishing himself as a new name for us and in Manila, ready to make some noise.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jake Goodman, Mountain View</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mountain View has started the season well, holding a 2-1 record. While they suffered a loss against a 6A program, they showed resilience. Jake Goodman, the senior captain, has been a standout player, demonstrating excellent shooting skills. If he continues his strong performance, Mountain View could be an under-the-radar team to watch, as they play with intensity and determination.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2841025' first='Deng' last='Deng'], Juan Diego</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Juan Diego has dominated West Jordan and Ben Lomond, and Deng has been the primary reason. Averaging 23 points per game, he also excels in blocking shots and is a dynamic player on the court. College coaches at the D2 or NAIA level should take note; Deng is a high-upside player who could be a steal for the right program.</p>

<p><strong>Logan Bennett, Carbon</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bennett has put in the work as he enters his senior season. He is poised to surpass his entire scoring output from last season within just a few games. With a challenging preseason schedule, Bennett is currently averaging 25 points per game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2287802' first='Cole' last='Parkinson'], Ben Lomond</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ben Lomond has played four games, and one constant remains: [player_tooltip player_id='2287802' first='Cole' last='Parkinson'] consistently delivers his all. He has been scoring from various areas of the court and has maintained strong numbers, irrespective of the team's outcome.</p>
