<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of players who may be under the radar, but will command more attention after their performance on Tuesday on the final day of the Coaches vs. Cancer Holiday Tournament at Maryville University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289217,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8702.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8702.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289217" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2346715' first='Brock' last='Long'] (Vianney): The 6'2" 2027 guard scored a game-high 24 points to lead the Golden Griffins to a 70-52 victory over No. 1 seed DeSmet in the championship game. He was terrific. When the Golden Griffins trailed by double-digits early, he hit two consecutive 3-pointers to jump start the team's rally. In the second half, he kept up the offensive onslaught as he continued to knock down 3-pointers, but he also attacked the lane to score and get to the free throw line. He also created off the dribble and scored on a nice fadeaway jumper off the turnaround.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289218,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8653.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8653.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289218" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2617566' first='Ben' last='Seliga'] (Lindbergh): The 6'4" 2026 guard is an underrated guard who has really made a name for himself in the first month of the season. He made the All-Tournament Team after leading the Flyers to the semifinals. His feel for the game is good and he is a master in the mid-range. He's patient on the dribble and he is able to get to his spots and elevate on his jumper. He also lifts defenders with his shot fake to get to the basket. He has led the Flyers to some impressive victories this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289219,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8690.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8690.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289219" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528208' first='Chase' last='Duke'] (Vianney): The 6'2" 2027 forward scored 20 points in the Golden Griffins championship game victory over DeSmet. He did his early damage in the paint as he muscled inside on the drive. He used his pump fake very well in the lane to get defenders off their feet. He extended his game to the perimeter as he hit 3-pointers off the catch and was also coming off screens to knock down triples. He has a nice combination of strength and finesse in his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289220,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8618.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8618.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289220" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cam Rollins (Fort Zumwalt South): The 6'3" 2026 guard scored a team-high 13 points against Westminster in the fifth place game. He is a very talented offensive player who has plenty of bounce. He threw down a nice alley-oop dunk with two hands in the first half. He is a primary ball handler who can create his own offense while also being able to distribute the ball for others. He got into the lane to elevate for the pull up jumper and he also knocked down a step-back 3-pointer off the bounce. He's one of the top players in St. Charles County.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289221,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8704.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8704.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289221" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2564264' first='Mamadou' last='Barry'] (Vianney): The 7'0" 2028 center was one of the stars of the championship game despite not scoring a single point. He grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked six shots as he basically closed down the middle with his rim protection. DeSmet players were constantly taking the ball at him and he kept sending shots back. He also altered many shots with his length and intimidation. What was most impressive was that even when he went to the bench, opposing players were missing easy layups as they seemed to be looking for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3289222,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8644.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/IMG_8644.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3289222" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1850534' first='Jaxson' last='Joggerst'] (Eureka): The 6'6" 2026 forward scored a game-high 17 points in the Wildcats victory over Lindbergh in the third-place game. He scored in a variety of ways with strong moves in the post, a 3-pointer off the catch and a big dunk to seal the game in the fourth quarter. When he wasn't getting buckets, he showcased his passing ability with some nifty dimes from the high post. What was also impressive was that he was guarding Lindbergh's top offensive player on the perimeter. He did a good job of moving his feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
