Tuesday night's district finals in Class 1A and 2A delivered some high-level games and plenty of notable performances. Here we'll take a look at some of the top performing guards from 2A action.   Note: There are a handful of teams without stats entered into Bound yet as of time of writing, and thus no players from those teams will be included: Denver, Central Lee, Cherokee, Pella Christian, Clarion-Goldfield-Dows, OABCIG, Western Christian.   2026 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1978103' first='Alec' last='Lovely'] (Treynor) – 25 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3P, 8-12 FT), 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal [vs. Ridge View]   The senior guard has been one of the best guards in 2A for the last three years, and his all-around skill set and athleticism was on full display against Ridge View in the Cardinals' district final win. He can create looks off the dribble for himself and his teammates seemingly whenever he wants.   2026 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2629262' first='Amani' last='Robinson'] (Columbus Catholic) – 25 points (9-23 FG, 5-10 3P, 2-4 FT), 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals [at Union]   Robinson has had a great career for the Sailors, and it concluded on Tuesday night with their loss to Union. He didn't have the most efficient scoring game, taking 23 shots to get his 25 points, but he made a huge impact on the game and was the biggest reason why the Sailors were in a position to put a scare into Union. He shot it well from the arc, attacked the rim, and contributed in a major way on the glass.   2026 PG [player_tooltip player_id='2413578' first='Dylan' last='Bosma'] (Unity Christian) – 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-10 3P, 6-6 FT), 1 rebound, 4 assists [vs. West Lyon]   The tough guard was huge late in the fourth quarter and in overtime of Unity Christian's win over West Lyon, helping stave off what would've been a massive upset. He led the Knights in scoring, pouring in 28 points on 50% shooting, and made several key plays late to help UC keep their state title hopes alive.   2026 SG Kahle Weber (Rock Valley) – 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3P, 2-2 FT), 4 rebounds, 2 assists [at Western Christian]   Weber came off the bench to provide some real scoring punch for the Rockets in their near upset win over Western Christian. He showed a ton of confidence in his shot, knocking down three 3-pointers, including a huge one late in overtime to help send the game into a second extra period.   2026 PG Luke Drtina (Crestwood) – 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3P, 0-2 FT), 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block [at Aplington-Parkersburg]   The senior guard was really good, and really efficient, in the Cadets loss to A-P, his final high school game. He showed that he can get downhill and get to the rim, was active on the glass, and created good looks for his teammates with his four assists.   2026 SG [player_tooltip player_id='1765547' first='Benny' last='Waller'] (Aplington-Parkersburg) – 26 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3P, 10-12 FT), 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 1 block [vs. Crestwood]   Waller has been awesome since returning from his injury, and he was excellent again in this district final win over Crestwood, stuffing the stat sheet in a variety of ways. Known best for his ability to score from anywhere on the floor, he has made a real effort to become a better playmaker for his teammates, and that has been really evident with his play of late.   2026 PG [player_tooltip player_id='1765519' first='Brady' last='Gogel'] (Beckman Catholic) – 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3P, 6-13 FT), 10 rebounds, 7 assists [at Denver]   Gogel was great against the Cyclones, finishing with a double-double, scoring efficiently, and dishing out seven assists to boot. An intelligent lead guard who can set his teammates up, he sees the floor really well, and while he generally isn't known as a huge scorer, he clearly showed here that he's capable of having big scoring games as well.   2029 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2921223' first='Keenan' last='Lundy'] (Van Meter) – 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3P, 2-3 FT), 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block [at Grundy Center]   The 6-1 guard gave a glimpse of the future for Van Meter in the Bulldogs' loss to Grundy Center. He can play with or without the ball in his hands, is a good athlete who contributes on the glass, and loves to attack the rim and play downhill.   2026 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2413534' first='Judd' last='Jirovsky'] (Grundy Center) – 23 points (7-19 FG, 4-11 3P, 5-6 FT), 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals [vs. Van Meter]   The stat-sheet stuffing guard continued his great senior season with another big game against Van Meter in the Spartans' district final win. He can score from anywhere, controls the game with the ball in his hands, and is a strong on-ball defender.   2027 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2420805' first='Dylan' last='Schon'] (Kuemper Catholic) – 30 points (13-21 FG, 1-2 3P, 3-5 FT), 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal [vs. South Hardin]   Schon has been one of the best players in 2A this season, and his game has gone to another level with [player_tooltip player_id='1765503' first='Brock' last='Badding'] sidelined. He's a tough shotmaker who can impact the game in every facet, scoring, rebounding, facilitating, and defending both on-and-off the ball. He's one of the most confident players in the class and has the ability to dominate games on both ends of the floor, as he did against South Hardin with the impressive 30-7-8 stat line on efficient shooting.   2027 PG [player_tooltip player_id='2420786' first='AJ' last='Harder'] (Tri-Center) – 42 points (16-26 FG, 6-12 3P, 4-4 FT), 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 1 block [vs. Cherokee]   Harder was superlative against Cherokee in a massive comeback win, dropping 42 points, showcasing his ability to control the game with the ball in his hands, and impacting the game defensively. He's a tremendous athlete who can put constant pressure on opposing teams with his ability to attack off the dribble, and he shot it really well from the 3-point line in the comeback win, setting up a massive tilt against Western Christian in the substate final.   2027 SG Brooks Weber (Mid-Prairie) – 29 points (10-17 FG, 8-15 3P, 1-2 FT), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal [at Northeast]   Mid-Prairie put up a strong fight against favored Northeast, in large part because of the strength of Weber's shooting. The junior guard buried eight 3-pointers in the loss, showing that he can be one of the state's elite shooting threats when he gets it rolling. He has a quick release off both the dribble and the catch and has shown some solid secondary playmaking skills. He'll have a huge senior year for the Golden Hawks.   2027 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2754727' first='Luke' last='Thoreson'] (Roland-Story) – 20 points (8-18 FG, 0-6 3P, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 4 assists [vs. Garner-Hayfield-Ventura]   The junior guard helped lead the Norsemen past the upset-minded Cardinals, putting together a strong double-double. He didn't shoot it well from the 3-point line, but he's a capable shooting threat, and the threat of his jumper opened things up to allow him to attack off the dribble and get to the rim for finishes.
