Consisting of a list of all seniors, it's time to honor their campaigns and give them a congratulations on an incredible finale. Let's talk about it.    [player_tooltip player_id='2376454' first='Corey' last='Hill'] is a dominating 6'9 center who has averaged a ridiculous 22.1 PPG, an astounding 16.5 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, and 2.7 BPG. Hill has transcended his game to new heights, and this massive upbringing is the reason why he's risen to the Top 10 in the senior class. Being 6'9, Hill takes complete command of the interior, utilizing his impressive footwork to muscle his way through any defender to get easy buckets. Earning a plethora of trips to the foul stripe, Hill remains calm, composed, and collected at all times, unfazed by any pressure coming his way. The senior has given the game his all, averaging a double-double in his last three out of four years in high school.     [player_tooltip player_id='2413398' first='James' last='Driggers'] is one of the most prolific scorers in the state, leading the Village Mountaineers through a high-usage senior campaign. Driggers finished the season chalking up 22.0 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 1.6 SPG, and 0.7 BPG. The 6'6 superstar was a statistical outlier in Colorado, ranking 6th in the state for scoring and 2nd in his division for FTM. Massive scoring outbursts, including a 39-point game against James Irwin and a 28-point effort against Crowley County, defined his season. With the size of a power forward and the skill set of a combo guard, Driggers shot 42% from the field while serving as the focal point of the Mountaineers' offense, earning a commitment to UC-Colorado Springs along the way.     [player_tooltip player_id='2415423' first='Brooks' last='Reckard'] has proven to be the definitive all-around engine for the Roosevelt Roughriders, concluding a stellar season as one of the state's most balanced senior guards. The 6'3 playmaker led the charge during Roosevelt's 18-6 campaign by leading the team in scoring and steals with averages of 15.7 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 3.5 APG, and 2.0 SPG. Reckard's elite efficiency was the catalyst of his game, shooting 50% from the field and a team-high 76% from the free-throw line. Whether erupting for high-scoring nights or anchoring the defense as the team's primary perimeter stopper, his versatility earned him a spot among the top stat leaders in the Longs Peak League.     [player_tooltip player_id='2768063' first='Wyatt' last='Kirch'] solidified his legacy at Rampart with a spectacular senior season, emerging as a frontrunner for Colorado Springs Metro League Player of the Year. A 5'11" floor general with an unmatched motor, Kirch led the team in nearly every major category with 16.2 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 3.9 APG, and 1.5 SPG. Kirch ranked as the second overall statistical leader in the Colorado Springs Metro league, highlighted by a massive 34-point performance against Pueblo West and a gritty 24-point showing in a narrow postseason loss to Lutheran. Kirch's transformation from a second-team selection as a junior to a dominant, three-level scorer and elite rebounder for his size has made him a critical guard of the 2026 class.     [player_tooltip player_id='1622292' first='Isaiah' last='Melecio'] of Rampart has immediately established himself as a premier go-to scorer. The senior guard put up impressive numbers this season, averaging 15.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 1.7 APG. Melecio's ability to create his own shot and crash the glass from the perimeter makes him one of the most polished offensive threats in the Colorado Springs area. Featuring a lethal offensive arsenal and poise beyond his years, in addition to a quick release off the catch, he is quickly becoming a must-watch player who's proven himself time and time again.
