Class 1A Dynamic Duos

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2439640' first='Jevyn' last='Severson'] &amp; 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2420789' first='Emerson' last='Bridgewater'] (Madrid)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tigers will arguably be the best team in Class 1A this season, and this one-two punch is the biggest reason why. Severson, one of the most sought-after tight end prospects in the country, is a dominant force on the hardwood as well, averaging 24.5 points and 10.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore. He's a strong, athletic, and physical presence with soft touch, great footwork, and the ability to step out and stretch the floor as well. Bridgewater led the team in assists last season, dishing out 3.7 helpers a game, and his 6-5 frame allows him to see over the defense and find open teammates. He's a long, wiry forward who can do a little bit of everything. His finesse complements Severson's physicality well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2906418' first='Mason' last='Camden'] &amp; 2029 [player_tooltip player_id='3693058' first='Beau' last='Burdic'] (East Mills)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This could end up being the highest scoring duo in the class this winter, coming off a year in which they combined to average 38.6 points per game. Camden (23.8 points, 4.3 assists), is a versatile three-level scorer who can create quality looks for his teammates as well, while Burdic showcased his shooting throughout his freshman campaign, burying over 42% of his 3-point attempts. They'll give the Wolverines a pair of big-time scorers who can take over a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2523893' first='Cooper' last='Hamilton'] &amp; 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2509580' first='Colt' last='Spencer'] (St. Albert)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're looking for a possible "sleeper" team in 1A this winter, check out the Falcons. Fresh off a 19-6 season and bringing six of their top seven scorers back, including Hamilton and Spencer, who combined to average 33.4 points and 11.4 rebounds a game, St. Albert looks primed to make some serious noise this winter. Both are 6-3/6-4, but with different skill sets. Hamilton is more perimeter-oriented, shooting it at a respectable clip from the arc and attacking the rim, while Spencer, who shot better than 55% from the floor, is more of an interior presence who can step out and occasionally space the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2859058' first='Westly' last='Cole'] &amp; 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2420772' first='Thomas' last='McGuire'] (Newman Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another tandem of big-time scorers, Cole and McGuire combined to put up 35.8 points per game last season, and that number could easily balloon up north of 40 points a game this winter. Both are capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor, and they're also both capable of creating quality looks for their teammates. Cole, fresh off a 20.4-point, 8.9-rebound junior year, is one of the best players in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2906526' first='Kale' last='Bailey'] &amp; 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='3650666' first='Gibson' last='Scott'] (Hillcrest Academy)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bailey and Scott are one of the most efficient tandems in the class, with Bailey shooting 63.3% from the floor and Scott posting an equally impressive 59.5% mark as a sophomore. Bailey, a 6-3 forward, does a majority of his damage around the bucket, while Scott, a 5-11 guard, is an impressive athlete who loves to attack the rim and pound the glass, averaging 7.4 rebounds per game despite being one of the smaller players on the floor on a nightly basis. Their skill sets complement each other well and they should keep the Ravens near the top of the SEISC this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
