<p>The 4A runners up return a good portion of the team that was seconds away from making history a year ago. They return the best player in the state in [player_tooltip player_id='2323571' first='Jaxson' last='Davis']. The junior point guard is the ultimate winner and leader at the high school level. Point guard that is legit three level scorer that makes those around him better and is a pest on the defensive end. His go to weapon on the wing is strong and athletic [player_tooltip player_id='2437519' first='Braylon' last='Walker'] who is coming off a nice summer and primed to have a super impactful senior campaign. [player_tooltip player_id='2962192' first='Avann' last='King'] will fill the role of junk yard dog inside doing the dirty work on the glass and finishing out of the dunker spot. [player_tooltip player_id='2437525' first='Joel' last='Paasch'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2469077' first='Tayte' last='Cordova'] are the snipers from the perimeter.<br><br></p>

<p>This team has pointed toward this season as the core has been together multiple years now. Bouncy forward [player_tooltip player_id='1845356' first='Jaali' last='Love'] is a four man that plays above the rim, can defend all over, and has face up ability. [player_tooltip player_id='1845351' first='Simereon' last='Carter'] is a big time athlete on the wing that flashed go to scoring pop a year ago. [player_tooltip player_id='1552444' first='Carter' last='Newsome'] is the floor general that runs the show for this high octane squad!<br><br>Libertyville<br><br>Libertyville has a pair of top 10 prospects in their respective classes in Winona State big man commit [player_tooltip player_id='1552460' first='Bryce' last='Wegrzyn'] and sophomore shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2540198' first='Terrence' last='Davis']. Wegrzyn is a legit five that can score with touch and feel down low, rebound, and is perhaps the best floor spacing post in the class. Davis is a wiry two guard that can also play some on the ball. Plus athlete with good handles being able to break down the defense off the bounce. [player_tooltip player_id='2963437' first='Ben' last='Kristopher'] is a third name to remember on this squad!</p>

<p>The backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id='1964163' first='Donovan' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1552481' first='Rocco' last='Pagliocca'] is one of the best in the conference. Williams is coming off a big summer where he impressed scouts and college coaches with his athleticism and two way impact. Pagliocca is a tough as nails and high IQ floor general. [player_tooltip player_id='2403165' first='Quinton' last='Frakes'] could be the x-factor here!<br><br></p>

<p>Lake Forest<br><br>The Scouts have a player we believe is primed to breakout in [player_tooltip player_id='2499191' first='Rory' last='Haas']. The face up four has grown quite a bit over the last year and is an elite shooter. Dom Mordini is a small school gem that will be a go to threat for them on the perimeter.</p>

<p>Lake Zurich<br><br>With this Lake Zurich squad three names come to mind as impactful players in [player_tooltip player_id='2404320' first='Tyler' last='Reed'], [player_tooltip player_id='2432328' first='Adrian' last='Riep'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1522682' first='Kain' last='Kretschmar'] that can take turns carrying the load.</p>
