He led them to a notable victory against Copper Hills and nearly secured a significant win over Syracuse. As a guard, Biehl possesses exceptional potential. Despite being a small-school player, he demonstrates transferable skills that could translate to success at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1969238' first='Bo' last='Donelson'], Brighton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Donelson has flashed his potential, and if he can become a more consistent scorer, he's poised to significantly boost a Brighton team seeking increased offensive output. He possesses the tools to attack the basket, create separation from defenders, and demonstrate his shooting ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274390' first='Luka' last='Cecez'], Cottonwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2274390' first='Luka' last='Cecez'] has emerged as a standout player, demonstrating significant growth since his freshman year. Initially showing promise as a lanky player, he has now developed into a 6'9" prospect averaging 20 points per game (PPG) with double-digit rebounding potential. His performance during the holiday break has been particularly impressive, solidifying his status as a player to watch. Cecez's potential as a D1 prospect makes him a player to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2844493' first='Daxton' last='Knudson'], Gunnison Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2844493' first='Daxton' last='Knudson'] has showcased his high-quality play, despite attending a small, rural school with limited visibility. The 6'4" junior has significantly improved his performance during the holiday break, averaging nearly 20 points per game (PPG).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2218132' first='Malakai' last='Tobler'], Farmington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tobler has a style of play that can easily get him to 20 PPG, but the way he can create and use his vision has elevated his overall game. He could be a player who is averaging over 7 assists a game. Tobler has helped Farmington to a 10-3 record, and they are a dangerous team in 6A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
