Watson is a battler.&nbsp; He is long at his position, he's strong, and he uses what he has to physically go at teams aggressively.&nbsp; A good post up player facing or back to the basket but agile too so he can play a few spots. Watson is scoring 17 points a game for a 13-10 Armstrong team that is far better than expected.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3200333' first='Kieran' last='Wymore'] of Coon Rapids (5'8).&nbsp; Wymore is one of the quickest players in the state and he is scoring 22 points a game.&nbsp; The Cards were said to be the worst team in the state at one point and here they are, winners of three in a row, and four of their last five games and Wymore is leading the way.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
