<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Players</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2659968' first='Gabe' last='Mwizerwa'] <strong>West Point (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A big post player who actually slides into the top-100 at #98 moves well from end to end. He was on junior varsity last year and now comes off the bench and gives the West Valley team some key minutes to control the glass, block shots, runs the floor and will score with layups in the paint.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2691812' first='River' last='Lee'] <strong>River Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A decent sized wing forward is one of the better players not many have ever heard of. He has some size and skill. He will score it with threes off the catch or pull, he will rip thru to score and he can handle some contact and score thru it. He will rebound and block shots. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2552785' first='Joshua' last='Polk'] <strong>Red Mountain </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A long and lean wing forward is just scratching the surface. He moves well from end to end and he comes with some skill. He is playing more and more on varsity and comes in off the bench and he will shoot the three with a nice stroke. He can rebound inside and once he fills in, he may breakout. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2749319' first='Luke' last='Zarob'] <strong>St. Mary's</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A highly skilled power forward is earning more and more minutes, and almost by default, he will be on the court a lot more with some players transferring. He can score it from inside and out with threes off the catch and then advanced post footwork. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2884697' first='Chase' last='Butler'] <strong>The Gregory School</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A thicker framed guard who is their main ball handler on the team and he can slide over and play the two spot as well. He is a physical defender on the ball with toughness and some length. He scores it with downhill takes and he occasionally makes perimeter jumpers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3319343' first='Jay' last='Ohm'] <strong>Arizona Lutheran</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A strong wing forward who can play and defend multiple positions for the smaller school. He is a true inside and out threat and mismatch problem. He can score it from the perimeter but works best inside with soft hands, toughness and skill inside the paint. </p>
