Tuesday Round Up: Big Senior Nights and More

<p>Senior night is always a special occasion for high school players across the state regardless of the number of fans in attendance, or how wild a season has been. Typically we can get some special senior moments in these final home games for some very talented players. Below we look at the seniors who had monster games on Senior Night and some other standout performances.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Senior Night Standouts</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="889463" first="Max" last="Alexander"], 6’ PG, Buhler, 2021: The late season explosion continued for the talented Buhler point guard as he erupted for 36 points including 24 in the second half. Helping will his team to a big home win on senior night over El Dorado. Alexander’s range continues to stretch further and further out especially off the dribble, and as he is seeing more exotic defenses, he is getting really good at finding different ways to attack different defenses. His last month of play is right up there with the best performances in Kansas right now, and his scoring has ticked up to 25.83 points per game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Isaiah Holz, 6’2 G, St Marys, 2021: The physically gifted and attacking guard has put together a quietly great and successful career together in his years at St Marys, winning a lot of games and being a pivotal part of some high quality teams. He finished off his regular season home career with a 22 point, 7 rebound performance in a tough win over a much improved Wabaunsee squad. He also knocked down 3 threes in the game, which if he is doing that consistently to end the year, watch out, because St Marys will make a deep deep run in the post season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="889511" first="Eli" last="Wiseman"], 5’10 G, Belle Plain, 2021: Wiseman is a talented scoring guard who is really making a name for himself this season amongst the senior class especially in the scoring column. He dropped another 25 points on senior night last night, getting it done from all three levels of the floor. Savvy ball handling, craftiness at the rim, and an ability to shoot the ball, Wiseman is a threat all over the court, and has the ability to take over games with his scoring.  </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Senior Night Spoilers</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="889472" first="Preston" last="Reynolds"], 6’4 G, Shawnee Mission East, 2021 (Pictured): Reynolds is one of the most versatile players in the class of 2021, and has some of the best playmaking ability I have seen live this year. The two man game between him and fellow senior forward [player_tooltip player_id="889464" first="Will" last="Townsend"] is fun to watch and can has some real highlight making potential. The SME guard is a gifted passer, has great court vision, and rightfully so, broke the school record for assists in a single season at 112 assists. Reynolds helped play the role of senior night spoiler last night at Olathe West, scoring 12 points, dropping 9 dimes, grabbing 5 boards, and had 5 steals. Versatility is the name to his game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="889464" first="Will" last="Townsend"], 6’8 F, 2021, Shawnee Mission East, 2021: The big, physical, and talented forward helped play spoiler with previously mentioned Reynolds getting near the double double territory scoring 16 points and grabbing 9 rebounds for the game. Townsend is a double double waiting to happen each game, and he really helps set the tone in games with his aggressiveness and offensive and defensive ability around the rim. A college program is getting a big time forward prospect. A good passer out of double teams, soft touch around the rim, a growing jumper, rebounds, and blocks shots.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
