<p class="text-gray-700">Lane is really coming into his own at Falcon, showing steady growth and command of his game. As the team's floor general, he sets the tone and gets the offense organized, making the right reads and keeping everyone involved. Averaging a career high 13.4 points per game, he's proven himself as a reliable scorer with a confident jumper and consistent three point touch. What separates Lane is his poise with the ball, decision making under pressure and leadership. His ability to control tempo while producing offensively is why he's climbing the rankings</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has shown real steady growth since the summer, and his continued development at Valor is hard to miss. Averaging 13.1 points and 2.4 rebounds, he's expanded beyond being just a shooter and is emerging as a true all around player. Known as a deadly three point threat, he's added layers to his game by attacking inside and finishing through contact. Defensively his effort stands out with active hands, quick reads in passing lanes and a disruptive presence that creates havoc. His two way impact is what's driving his rise</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hinkle is making the most of his first year on varsity at Highlands Ranch, quickly establishing himself as a difference maker. Averaging 11.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, his impact shows up all over the floor. Defensively his size and wingspan immediately stand out and at 6'7 he locks down the lane and controls the glass limiting opponents possessions. What shines is his offensive game as he does the dirty work by setting strong screens and rolling hard, but also flashes as a surprising three level scorer. His versatility and physical presence are well beyond his years and a player who will keep elevating in the rankings</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carr has been steadily on the rise since the summer and is making a major impact for Fountain-Fort Carson. A big, physical, tough nosed presence, he always seems to be around the play and influencing the game. Averaging 10.6 points and 9.7 rebounds, he's extremely effective in the paint, using strong technique and sound footwork to carve out space and establish deep post position. He plays with force, finishes through contact and consistently wins the battle on the boards. He is on the rise due to his physicality and reliable post presence make him a constant problem for opponents</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hayward has become a huge part of Palisade's success, and what makes him special and rising in the rankings is his consistency. Night after night, he delivers efficient production, averaging 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3 assists. He scores from all three levels and is knocking down shots at over 50 percent, including from the free throw line. His strong ball control, vision and ability to get open keep the offense flowing. Hayward doesn't force action and he makes the right plays and impacts winning in multiple ways</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lamar is coming up big for Mountain View, and it's the little things he does that have him rising in the rankings. Averaging 8.7 points and 2.3 assists, he makes his impact felt beyond the box score. He runs the floor hard in transition, finishes strong at the rim and never hesitates when an opening appears. Defensively he brings energy on the perimeter, uses his range to disrupt passing lanes and turns steals into quick points. His effort, decisiveness and two way presence consistently swing momentum in Mountain View's favor</p>
