<p><em>First Team</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3731587' first='Brody' last='Boeckman'] of Junction City (sr). A second team all league player last season and the top returning talent for his team. Brody averaged 12 points and eight boards a game last season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2923211' first='Carter' last='Compton'] of Hayden (sr). Cater was a second team honored all league player in the Centennial last year. Compton scored 13-14 a game last season and will slide into the main scoring role. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harry Trelc of Emporia (sr). Harry, who is coming off a huge 17u season, was a second team all league talent last year. Trelc averaged 14 points and five boards a game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2047786' first='Kameron' last='Cooper'] of Manhattan (sr). The Kansas State committed 6'6 talent is now in Kansas and is the top prospect in the state's senior class not at a prep school. Manhattan lost its top four scorers so Cooper should step right in. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2820897' first='Brooks' last='Ballard'] of Washburn Rural (jr). Brooks was the best underclassmen in the Centennial League last year. Ballard scored 12.5 points a game as a sophomore shooting 40 percent from the arc. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3770461' first='Khaliel' last='Walker'] of Junction City (sr). The strong wing was the third leading scorer last year and plays the tough way a running back/linebacker does on the football field (he is just that as a football recruit). </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Second Team</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3770457' first='Mason' last='Becker'] of Hayden (sr). Becker had some big scoring games last year and averaged in double digits. Should be a reliable scoring option. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3733973' first='Terrick' last='Franklin'] of Emporia (sr). Franklin averaged 14.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game last year and there are high expectations for what he can do this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3695058' first='Cooper' last='Schmidt'] of Washburn Rural (sr). The 6'10 post averaged seven points and two blocks a game and took big steps this 17u season towards his potential </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Henry Witt of Manhattan (sr). Scored six points a game last year for the team that made the state tournament. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dae'Veon Campbell of Topeka (sr). Campbell is a combo guard that was one of the few non seniors playing last year. A three-four basket a game guy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Third Team</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jace Wolff of Hayden (sr). Played a reserve role last year, will step into a bigger spot on the wing. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mar'saun Redmond of Topeka (jr). A sophomore in a veteran line-up last season. Redmond had a strong summer as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jaycen Lanier of Junction City (sr). A six foot guard that is a returning starter for a 13-win team. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2197467' first='Warren' last='Harris III'] of Topeka (sr). Harris is a 5'8 lead guard. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2111691' first='Jacob' last='Hoytal'] of Washburn Rural (sr). Six-foot-3 power forward that should give his team a soldi frontcourt. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3726273' first='Jerald' last='Clifton'] of Emporia (soph). Has a chance to be one of the top underclassmen playing this year. </p>
