His combination of size, physicality and willingness to do the dirty work inside made him one of the most valuable pieces of the Tigers' lineup. He averaged 7.1 points and 8 rebounds per game, showing a consistent ability to impact games even when he wasn't the primary scoring option. Dempcy controls the glass, creates extra possessions and provides a strong interior presence on both ends of the floor. As his offensive game continues to develop and expand, he has the potential to become a bigger focal point for Sterling and take another significant step forward this season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2817110"],"_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-6a31a359456d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Owens is a player who clearly has the tools and potential to make a major jump this season. There were several flashes  throughout last year at Englewood that showed exactly why there is so much excitement surrounding his development. He recorded multiple double digit scoring performances and added a couple of double doubles, proving he can impact the game in a variety of ways. Owens finished the season averaging 7.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per contest while continuing to grow in confidence and consistency. His athleticism, motor and ability to contribute on both ends of the floor give him a strong foundation moving forward. If he can continue building on last season's momentum, he has a great chance to become a key contributor and breakout player for his team this winter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Bowen Tieperman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"DSST Cedar","_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-6a31a359457c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tieperman took a noticeable step forward last season, improving his production across the board and giving plenty of reasons for optimism heading into the upcoming year. At 6'8 he brings excellent size, length and a strong interior presence that allows him to impact both ends of the floor. There were several moments throughout the season where his potential really flashed, including a dominant 27 point performance that showcased his ability to take over a game and thrive under pressure. He finished the year averaging 8.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest while continuing to grow in confidence and consistency. As his skill set develops and his role expands, Tieperman has all the tools to become a major force in the paint and a key contributor for DSST Cedar</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Amir Abood","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_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":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Skyview","_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-6a31a359458b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abood was a major presence for Skyview last season and quietly put together an impressive campaign. He finished averaging 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while serving as the team's anchor in the paint. His physicality and strength around the basket make him difficult to handle, especially when operating with his back to the hoop. Abood consistently creates high quality scoring opportunities for himself and does an excellent job cleaning up second chance points on the offensive glass. His efficiency was a huge asset, as evidenced by his 57% shooting from the field. He provides toughness, rim protection and a reliable interior presence that impacts winning. With his production and ability to control the paint, Abood remains one of the more valuable frontcourt players who is flying under the radar heading into next season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Eduardo Cantillo","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_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":"Alameda","_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-6a31a359459a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cantillo put together a highly productive season for Alameda and showed why he is a player trending in the right direction. His combination of scoring, rebounding, and rim protection made him a valuable piece on both ends of the floor. He finished the year averaging 8.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game while consistently providing energy and toughness in the paint. What stood out most was the way he elevated his play during the second half of the season, delivering several impactful performances when his team needed him most. His defensive presence around the basket changes games, and he continues to develop as an offensive threat. With his size, production and upward trajectory, Cantillo looks poised for an even bigger role and a breakout season ahead</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Class 4A is loaded with talent, but not every impact player is getting the attention they deserve. This week we are spotlighting under the radar players who quietly delivered big performances for their teams last season. From scoring and playmaking to leadership and toughness, these rising names are primed for breakout campaigns and could become some of the biggest difference makers in 4A basketball.
