<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2026 update is complete and the movement is real. A group of players has elevated their games with dynamic, confident play that's impossible to ignore. These players are impacting wins, setting the tone and making nightly statements. Here are the names whose recent performances are forcing their way up the rankings and demanding a closer look at their game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622293"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977de8d76a14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore brings steady energy and reliability to Cherokee Trail and plays a major role in their success. He's a true all around guard who consistently impacts the game, averaging 7.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists while setting the tone each possession. He's comfortable getting downhill off the dribble, drawing defenders and making the right read and he can knock down shots from different areas of the floor. Moore plays with control, keeps the offense organized and creates opportunities for teammates. His consistent effort, unselfish approach and ability to make winning plays help raise the level of everyone around him</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175381"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977de8d76ab3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swanson is the perfect second scorer for Green Mountain and a constant problem for opposing defenses. Putting up 10.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, he brings scoring punch and keeps plays alive with his physicality. He has great size and length which allows him to attack the glass hard and he never gives up on a possession. Swanson runs the floor, finishes through contact and can step out to knock down the three when defenses sag off. His effort, versatility and ability to score in multiple ways make him a key piece in keeping Green Mountain dangerous every night</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381333"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977de8d76b34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Price has been coming on strong for Windsor of late, but his impact has been felt all season. Averaging 5.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, he brings relentless energy and toughness every night. He's not afraid to attack off the dribble, makes strong drives when opportunities are there and always plays within his role. What really separates Price is his defense and he takes pride in locking in, competing and making life hard on opponents. A true team first player, he does whatever is needed to win, and that winning mentality shows up in every possession</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2384768"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977de8d76baf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Varney has been huge for Severance and his production matches his impact. Averaging 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, his 6'4 presence brings size, toughness and versatility to the floor. He attacks the glass, boxes out consistently and runs the floor hard in transition. Offensively Varney can score with his back to the basket, finish around the rim and step out to knock down the three when needed. His ability to impact the game inside and out makes him a reliable, difference making piece for Severance</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622237"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977de8d76c26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burton gives Frederick a little bit of everything every single night, and his impact goes way beyond the box score. Putting up 7.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and assists, 2.1 steals he plays a physical, relentless brand of basketball. He sets the tone defensively, creating havoc with active hands and timely steals. Offensively Burton attacks hard, finishes clean at the rim and can score from all three levels when defenses sag off. His toughness, versatility and nonstop motor make him a dependable, winning piece for Frederick</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
