[player_tooltip player_id='2883787' first='Turner' last='Armstrong'] Coolidge (Pictured)   He has an elite feel for the game and shredded the defense impressively by a tune of 6 assists and it could have been 10+ with his next level passing and timing. He will score with the three ball one by one and actually made a day high of six vs Snowflake. He has a polished floater and rebounds well. He finished with 22 points to go along with his 6 dimes vs Snowflake and 8 points with 7 assists in the Final.   [player_tooltip player_id='1900362' first='Colby' last='Jessup'] Valley Christian   The region player of the year was a tad off but still scored 22 points using his incredible IQ for the game. He scores it every way with quick threes off the catch, back door layups, fall aways and tough layups in traffic with advanced body control. He also collected 2 steals with 4 rebounds and 1 assist. He is currently deciding what college to choose.   [player_tooltip player_id='2275986' first='KJ' last='Fauske'] Seton Catholic    One of the top shooters in 3A and in the AIA. He started the game a perfect 5-5 and ended up with 19 points. He will rattle in threes off the catch one by one but has improved his game taking the ball to the basket with some tough shots in traffic. He likes the floater game and will pull-up from mid. He also had a couple of assists in the early morning game. He is another player talking with colleges deciding where to go.   [player_tooltip player_id='2134454' first='Kameron' last='Pippen'] Palo Verde   A strong downhill attacker is a pure point guard who makes players around him better. He loves and almost seeks the contact to score contested layups, floaters, rip thrus, blow by's and mid-range pull-ups. He keeps his dribble alive versus heavy pressure. He scored 15 points in the Final-4 to advance to the Chip and had 8 points with 8 assists plus 3 steals.   [player_tooltip player_id='2396141' first='Kamaiu' last='Ortiz'] Palo Verde   A cerebral combo guard sees the court like a point guard and he will score it. He has a good pace and plays perfectly off of Pippen. He throws a perfect lob pass and will skip it up the court. He will score with runners, offensive rebound put backs and side step threes. He scored 8 points with 3 assists and 4 steals in the Final.   [player_tooltip player_id='2741030' first='Max' last='Johnson'] Valley Christian   The region defensive player of the year showed off his lateral quickness and overall track-like speed. He has speed to burn in the open court and will get downhill to score layups and use the floater game. He will score with put backs off the glass but he is a true pest on defense. He finished with 7 points and 1 steal.   [player_tooltip player_id='3530468' first='Jhett' last='Udall'] Snowflake   A decent sized point guard had a game changing six assists with some smart passes to his teammates. He can also score with threes off the catch and he will make quick bursts to the basket with reverse layups. He finished with 12 points.     [player_tooltip player_id='3530446' first='Landon' last='Clare'] Snowflake   A scoring point guard is a sneaky good passer in traffic with an advanced feel for the game. He will score with downhill takes, mid-range fall away's, catch threes and coast to coast takes. He scored 18 points with 2 assists.
