Sleepers Who Could Steal the Spotlight in the 4A Great 8

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 4A Great 8 isn't just about the stars everyone already knows. It's also the stage where under-the-radar prospects can step up and make a name for themselves. With bigger matchups and more eyes on the floor, these players have the chance to deliver a breakout performance and help push their teams one step closer to the Final Four.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1799813' first='Luke' last='Jacobson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Timnath","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69af16fbb1629"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Timnath has depth everywhere, but 6'5 senior [player_tooltip player_id='1799813' first='Luke' last='Jacobson'] showed in their one-point overtime win just how valuable he can be. Jacobson poured in 17 points, knocked down four threes, and delivered big play after big play. The under-the-radar senior stays shot-ready and makes winning plays, and in the Great 8, he'll have another chance to be the X-factor that pushes Timnath forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622240"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69af16fbb1695"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Denver West thrives off its guard play, and [player_tooltip player_id='1622240' first='Tiden' last='Silver-Colbert'] continues to prove why he's such an important piece. In their Sweet 16 win, he finished with 13 points and hit three threes that gave the Cowboys momentum. His athleticism creates mismatches, and if his shot is falling, the floor opens up. This is a big opportunity for him to shine against Kent Denver, where I do not believe they have a matchup for him. He has to take advantage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396431"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69af16fbb16e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2396431' first='Samuel' last='Glynn'] has quietly been one of Kent Denver's most important pieces all season. The conference newcomer of the year stepped up again in the Sweet 16, scoring 20 points and knocking down four threes to stretch the floor. In a fast-paced matchup where every possession matters, Glynn's scoring punch could be the difference as he continues to make a name for himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2821964"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69af16fbb1729"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">RJ Skewes showed flashes throughout the summer and in-season, there were opportunities as well. But the sophomore big man just delivered the best game of his young career with 15 points in the playoffs. The 6'6 forward can stretch the floor, operate inside, and his footwork stands out for a player his age. With Kent Denver needing contributions across the board, this is another chance for Skewes to step up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1877576"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69af16fbb176d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peak to Peak pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the postseason, and Tyson Burton has been at the center of it all. The multi-sport point guard averaged 24.1 points per game and scored from all three levels. Defenses throw double teams at him, but he reads them well. Another big performance could push Peak to Peak even further and his name on the board even more as all eyes will be on him to keep the season alive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
