Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top individual performers from last week's games. With the district playoffs just around the corner, the players are getting themselves lathered up for an exciting postseason.     [player_tooltip player_id='2868319' first='Tyson' last='Boyer'] (Lesterville): A 6'2" 2027 guard who had an epic performance last week when he scored 67 points in a 73-72 victory over Marquand. He made five 3-pointers in the game, but he did much of his work in the paint as he loves to attack the basket to score and get to the free throw line. It also happened on his Senior Night, which made the performance a little more special.     [player_tooltip player_id='2334926' first='Kyrese' last='Simpson'] (Hillcrest): The 5'10" 2027 guard scored a game-high 40 points in a victory over Marshfield. The fact that he is a talented three-level bucket getter is nothing new as he is an electrifying scorer. He also had a tremendous all-around game with seven rebounds, five assists and six steals.     [player_tooltip player_id='2090520' first='Brenden' last='Matt'] (North Platte): The 6'3" 2026 guard had one of the best shooting performances of the season when he scored 43 points in a victory over Plattsburg. He made 13 3-pointers on 17 attempts, which was the sixth most in the history of the state.     [player_tooltip player_id='1598824' first='Brody' last='Owen'] (Marquette): The 6'3" 2026 Washburn recruit scored a career-high 47 points in the Mustangs 74-73 victory over Parkway Central. The 47 points was a new school record. He also got it done in other areas as he added seven rebounds and five assists against the Colts.     [player_tooltip player_id='1824852' first='Ethan' last='Wunderlich'] (Eugene, Pictured): The 6'2" 2026 guard scored a career high 49 points against Russellville last Friday night and broke multiple school records in the process. In the same game, he broke the school record for most points in a single game. He also became Eugene's career scoring leader as well. The talented combo guard is the top returning player from Eugene's Class 2 state championship team from last season.     [player_tooltip player_id='2334904' first='Kylan' last='Pickren'] (Ozark): The 6'5" 2027 guard continued his big season with a 32-point performance in a victory over Capital City last Friday night. He scored in the paint and also knocked down four 3-pointers in the game. He also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds in the victory.     [player_tooltip player_id='2403906' first='Madden' last='Bohning'] (Orchard Farm): The 6'4" 2027 forward had a big overall performance in the Eagles' 70-61 victory over Fort Zumwalt West. He had 26 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, four steals and two blocks. The young lefty is a powerful performer who plays a physical game from the perimeter.     [player_tooltip player_id='2959740' first='Gavin' last='Dillon'] (Gateway STEM): The 6'1 2027 guard scored 38 points and made four 3-pointers in the Jaguars' 83-61 victory over Sumner last week. Dillon also added nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks to top off an excellent all-around performance.
