Sectional Preview: Kyler’s Class 1A Players to Watch

We are just within a week from arguably the best week of the Indiana High School Boys Basketball season with Sectionals taking place across the state. This week, the Prep Hoops Indiana staff will give their in-depth previews of each Sectional however, I want to take a look at five players from each class that you need watch for to have strong showings. Here are five players from Class 1A to Watch.    There is no question about the fact that [player_tooltip player_id='1560962' first='Blake' last='Neill'] is the best unsigned senior in all of Class 1A and has just been spectacular all season for Bloomfield. Setting all sorts of records, Neill is averaging 28.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and is shooting 53 percent from the field. You wont find a more productive player in all of Class 1A than [player_tooltip player_id='1560962' first='Blake' last='Neill']. You can watch him this week when Bloomfield opens up Sectional play vs North Central (Farmersburg).     The Liberty Christian Lions look to be a team that can make a deep run in Class 1A and one of the guys that will be leading them this postseason is senior power forward [player_tooltip player_id='2417030' first='Monte' last='Dillard']. The 6'6 prospect has been just a force for the Lions all season with 16.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game for them. Having a player that can make an impact in the frontcourt like Dillard can give Liberty Christian a huge advantage in the Class 1A Tournament. You can watch him this week when Liberty Christian opens up Sectional play vs MTI Knowledge.     A rising junior guard at the Class 1A level that we have been impressed with this season has been [player_tooltip player_id='2123812' first='Hudson' last='Lang'] of Trinity Lutheran. This guy is just a playmaker of a guard with him leading the Cougars with 17.3 points and 3.1 assists per game for them. Lang is a under-the-radar playmaker that has proven himself as a big time scorer, especially as a knockdown shooter and his combination of shooting ability and downhill passing make it very difficult for opposing defenses. You can watch him this week when Liberty Christian opens up Sectional play vs Shawe Memorial.     The Rossville Hornets are a team to keep a close eye on come Sectional week and big reason for that is because of junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2414956' first='Brayden' last='Thiele-Hahn']. Averaging a near double-double of 21.8 points and 7.1 rebound, Thiele-Hahn is a guy that can flat out light up a stat sheet with his ability to take over a game being such a high level. He is a tough guard that has such a great feel for the game. Rossville got a bye so you will get a chance to seem in the semifinals.     When it comes to the 2028 class, perhaps the best Class 1A prospect we have in the state is 6'3 guard [player_tooltip player_id='1990195' first='Wyatt' last='Jones'] out of Borden High School. This season, he has put up some really strong showing as sophomore which should translate well into Sectional play. It is his positional size, fluid athleticism, and ability to shoot the basketball that translates beyond the Class 1A level in southern Indiana. You can watch him this week when Borden opens up Sectional play vs Christian Academy.
