<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2812182' first='Amari' last='Green'] - Amari's stepping into that stage where the work shows. Stronger base, better balance, and a growing confidence finishing through contact. He's learning how to anchor possessions, control space, and give his team a reliable interior option. His impact is trending upward fast for the upcoming season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3558528' first='Mason' last='Abrahamson'] - Mason has that calm, big-shot maker poise you can't teach. He was one of the most impactful players in the 6A title matchup last year, and the summer only sharpened him. Playing with and against real talent brought out his best with better shooting footwork, the same confident release, and the ability to hit shots when the gym tightens up.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3073480' first='Trey' last='Simmons'] - Trey's growth has shown from March until now. Physically stronger, mentally sharper, and stacking meaningful reps in important roles. He's learning how to impact the game without forcing it. He is defending multiple spots, making the right reads, and playing with a maturity that wasn't there a year ago. His trajectory is pointing toward varsity reliability.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2453448' first='Bryan' last='Williams'] - Bryan is shifting from a catch‑and‑shoot guy to you better close out under control. He's becoming more confident attacking space, reading defenders, and creating his own looks. Once he fully blends the shooting with the driving and passing, he becomes a problem for defenses that overhelp or rotate late.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2752775' first='Callen' last='Ellis'] - Callen brings speed you have to game‑plan for. He's dangerous in the open court, naturally pushes the tempo, and has shown growth in defending the perimeter. Add in the fact that he's still hitting shots from deep at a strong clip, and you've got a guard who can stretch the floor, pressure the ball, and change the rhythm of a game.</p>
