The senior wing is a major part of the Viking’s gameplan, whether it’s on the offensive end or on the defense side of the ball Keshaun does what is called upon him. Leading his team in a few major categories, rebounds 4.0 per game, assists 3.1 assists per game, and steals 3.2 steals per game. All impressive stats but he also has the ability to score when needed. Averaging 8.7 points per game, Williams was able to erupt for 23 points against rival Northwest in their last game. I see Williams developing to be a good perimeter defender which can help a lot of programs at the next level. 6 steals against Bryan earlier this year can attest to the potential the senior has at the defensive end. The Vikings are 5-3 right now in the season and have a fairly easy schedule the next few games so look for Williams to make an impact for the Vikings.
Cory Hollinger Cory Hollinger 6'5" | PF Cross County | 2022 State NE | 6’5 F | Cross Country
The 6’5 forward has been labeled underrated this whole season and his whole career but that needs to change going forward. Cory is a big man down in the post with no kind of opposition in his way. Leading the Cougars to an impressive 9-2 record so far this season, the senior leads the team in points at 19.0 per game, rebounds at 11.3 per game, and assists at 2.2 per game. Not much of a rim protector for his size but makes us for it with hustle and grit that just wears down his opponents throughout the game. The senior forward has had some impressive games so far this season, three times scoring 25+, and has been tearing up on the boards snagging an outstanding 25 rebounds in one game against Superior. The man-child is a walking double-double with 5 already this season. Off just grit and hustle he has shown nightly, he should be on everyone’s radar following this season if haven’t already.
Carter Sintek Carter Sintek 5'11" | SG Fremont | 2022 State NE |6’0 G | Fremont
If your looking for a shooter look no further than Carter. The senior and Tiger are 2-8 at the moment this season, but the record doesn’t reflect how Carter is putting in effort nightly. In now his final year at Fremont the senior is leading the Tigers in points at 16.5 per game as well as in 3 pointers with 29 made on 42 % shooting. Dropping in 26 points early this season against Watertown the guard has a steady shot rather its off dribble or catch and shoot. Simply put, Carter can make it from deep. If your a school at the next level that needs a 3D player, then should have eyes on this kid. Averaging 1.2 steals per game the senior plays the passing lanes very well and is capable of staying in from of his opponent. The season doesn’t look to be going in the right direction at this point but that doesn’t mean Carter isn’t going to play hard night in and out and that’s what I see in this kid. Regardless of the situation, he’s going to play and give effort.
Kolton Hager Kolton Hager 6'2" | PF Wallace | 2022 State NE | 6’3 F | Wallace
The senior forward has helped lead his Wildcats to a 4-3 record so far this season. Kolton is a forward that can shoot from the outside. The senior guard leads his team in scoring at 16.0 per game and in rebounds at 6.4 per game. Although the Wildcats have many players who are able to shoot on the team, the senior leads the team in 3 pointers made at 13 total and in 3pt percentage at 41%. Another stat the senior leads in his rebounds per game at 6.4 rebounds with 1.4 on the offense boards. Kolton has been a big role in Wildcats winning this season averaging 17.5 points per game in team wins while dropping a season-high 23 points and 10 rebounds against Maywood. Although it’s his only double-double of the season I expect more in the future for the senior forward. If teams are looking for a forward who is able to stretch the floor and knock down an open shot then Hager should be on your radar.
Kade Mohr Kade Mohr 6'4" | SF Kearney | 2022 State NE | 6’3 F | North Platte/Nebraska Select 17U Luger
The senior guard takes up space and uses it effectively. Kade and the Bulldogs hasn’t had the start the season they hoped for but both have a glimpse of success so far this season as they are 3-5. In his final season for North Platte, the senior is the leader and heart of the squad. Averaging just 7.3 points per game he is third on the team behind Fremont’s junior scoring duo. He does lead the team in rebounding at 5.4 rebounds per game which contributes to a big part of the team’s success as he averages 7.0 rebounds in games they have won. When need some offense scoring the senior as answer as he dropped a season-high of 19 points in a loss against Platteview. In the same game was able to snag 8 rebounds also. Fremont does have time to turn it around and if Kade can help by being a consistent scorer, and help from others on the team, they should have a shot at righting the boat. Now as a next-level team what are you getting out of Kade? You are getting heart, leadership, and being coachable. These are great traits for a potential player so Kade being under the radar may be a good thing for him as he has a chance to land at a place that would value him.
Zach Spanke Zach Spanke 6'2" | SG DC West | 2022 State NE | 6’2 G | Douglas City West
The senior is the second part of a dynamic duo that the Falcons have. Flying under the radar to his co-pilot Travis, Spanke is also having a great season and the two are the reason the Falcons are 7-3 this season. Second, in scoring on the team, the senior guard is averaging 12.0 points per game for the season. While also leading the team shooting 59% from the field. Zach has had more than a few good games this season, dropping 22 points in two games resulting in wins. Not only helping out with scoring the guard also gets after it on the boards while getting his teammates involved. He leads the whole team in rebounds and assists at 8.9 rebounds per game and 3.2 assists per game. The guard does it on the floor while being a co-leader with his other senior comrade. Not mentioned as much as his teammate will change as the season goes on he will be called on more for his leadership and ability to score just as much as anyone in the class. The senior may be under the radar at the moment but alot of coaches will know of him by end of the season.
