<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some new names to know in our upcoming 2028 update that move the ball well! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784056"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86d877"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a tough season for Liberal but one silver lining was the play of [player_tooltip player_id='3784056' first='Eathan' last='Hernandez']. Hernandez was the second leading scorer, his 5.4 rebounds was second on the team, Eathan averaged an impressive 3.4 assists a game and 1.8 steals a game. On a team that struggled to score, Eathan did his best to move the basketball to teammates to get shots. And speaking of shooting, Eatahn was a 45 percent three point shooter last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784067"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86d919"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3784067' first='Blake' last='Harmon'] returns to a .500 Hill City team along with [player_tooltip player_id='3778772' first='Kason' last='Mauck'] to give their team a really good junior backcourt. The team had scoring last year, Blake moved the ball for three assists a game and made shots a decent rate when his team needed him to. This is a tough player that should take a nice step forward and with Vincent Zohner graduating, more offense and playmaking should come the way of Harmon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784068"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86d997"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The very good Hugoton team from last season won 23 games and they return their leading scorer (Rojas). Adrian scored nine points a game last season while dishing out three assists a contest. With two starters graduating Adigun will move into a bigger role and with Salazar graduated there will be even more playmaking from Adigun. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784086"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86da18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trinity Academy was a 17-win team last year and the majority of the roster returns. It's a team that moves the ball and the heart of that ball movement is Jude Adkison and [player_tooltip player_id='3784086' first='Bryton' last='Baty']. Baty was one of the most reliable players on the team on both ends and that includes movements moving the basketball. Eklund, Adkison, Baty and Chalastari are a returning core with big expectations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784095"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86da97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Siemsen was an all around two-way player for Republic last year giving the team some of everything. Grady scored eight points a game shooting 40 percent from the floor and nearly 75 percent from the foul line. Grady battled for nearly four boards a contest and was one of many good passers on the team as Grady averaged nearly three assists a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3784106"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abd2ff86db1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tate is a player that is surely on our up and comer list. He scored over eight points a game last year shooting 37 percent from the arc plus he gave a good team (13-8) three assists and three rebounds a game. There is an efficiency there that we could see growing into an even better player as an upperclassmen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
