Here were some of the varsity standouts of the game:

Valley Christian
Jaden DeBoer Jaden DeBoer 6'2" | SG Valley Christian | 2021 State AZ Valley Christian (26 pts 2 rebs 2 ast 2 stls 1 blk) (Pictured)
-A lefty shooter with some of the deepest range in the state. He gets it off in a blink of an eye and gets good elevation. He has the 1-dribble pull-up he uses from mid-range. He can get into the lane with a decent handle, but his shooting is effortless from deep. Jaden tells PHA that he is receiving many D2 and NAIA offers, which is well deserved.
Jacob Rice SF 6’2 2021 Valley Christian (17 pts 4 rebs)
-An athletic wing with good bounce who loves getting downhill. He can handle it like a guard and take you off the dribble and score it though contact. He is a capable perimeter shooter but is clearly best in attack mode towards the basket using his athletic gifts. He is a quick second jumper and he can defend in space.
Tanner Huguez PG 5’10 2021 Valley Christian (12 pts 6 asts)
-A pure PG is always looking to facilitate. He advances passes and can drive and kick it out to an open shooter. When he looks to score it, he has the floater game and can hit the catch-3. He makes the team run as an extension of the coach.
Jadon Hanzal SG 6’0 2021 Valley Christian (17 pts)
-He may only avg 4 ppg but he got hot early and stayed that way. He hit 5 3’s off the catch and he was feeling good. He gave one ball fake and went by for a layup too. The sharp shooter helped the Trojans all year.
Sabino
Travis Reynolds Travis Reynolds 6'6" | PF Sabino | 2022 State AZ Sabino (6 pts 5 rebs 1 ast 2 blks)
-A thicker forward can face-up from the 3 plus get downhill with a nice handle. He uses his girth and strength to rebound the ball and plays physical in the paint. He can block shots and he can be a mismatch problem from inside and out. His ability to create his own shot makes him a tough cover. He should be a star in Tucson next season.
Brock Jackson Brock Jackson 6'4" | SF Sabino | 2021 State AZ Sabino (19 pts 4 rebs 1 stl 1 blk)
-Another tough match-up problem who can dribble, shoot and use his strong frame to play inside. He can also get out on the break and flush it down easily. He took a few shots he probably shouldn’t, but he has talent. He avg 21 ppg and you can see why. Also at 190 lbs, his ability to take you out on the perimeter and hit the 3 then bang with you inside makes him difficult to handle.
Curtis Wyble SG 6’1 2021 Sabino (16 pts)
-The pure shooter on the team has a lot of confidence. He gets it off in hurry and knows how to relocate to an open spot. He plays a smart floor game but is looking to get some shots up. He hit 5 3’s in this game.
Weston Haebig Weston Haebig 5'10" | CG Sabino | 2023 State AZ Sabino (15 pts 3 rebs 3 asts 1 stl)
-The team’s 6th man is a nice future player. He is a natural scorer from the perimeter plus is quick to drive the ball. He is undersized but tough to grab boards in traffic and can make some plays for his teammates. He is best off the ball scoring it and he should have a big year next season next to Reynolds.
