<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416236" first="Ryan" last="Schmit"] | Osmond</strong></p>
<p>Schmit scored 17 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game for the Tigers this season. He excelled at attacking closeouts using his burst and footwork in the lane.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416241" first="Brennen" last="Kelley"] | Norfolk Catholic</strong></p>
<p>Kelley performed well this season as a spot-up shooter. The lefty hit 35% of his threes on almost 5 attempts per game. As he showed in the state tournament this year, he never gives up on a play.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416240" first="Conner" last="Larson"] | Elkhorn Valley</strong></p>
<p>The Falcons shooting guard has an unorthodox shot, but his quick trigger allows him to get it off in tight spaces. He averaged 3 steals a game thanks to his active hands and anticipatory instincts.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416244" first="Cortez" last="Gonzalaus"] | Omaha Benson</strong></p>
<p>Scoring was not his greatest skill, but as one of the few senior leaders on a young team his effort, physicality, and toughness were crucial. He had no problem banging down low with the bigs, and he held his own more often than not.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416242" first="Jed" last="Hoover"] | Tekamah-Herman</strong></p>
<p>Jed just makes good things happen on the court. Forcing turnovers, grabbing a crucial rebound in traffic, or finishing in traffic. It seemed he always made a play when one was needed. I would have liked to see him use his dribble to create better shots instead of settling for perimeter shots, but it was still a nice senior campaign for the Tigers point guard.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416245" first="Sam" last="Prokupek"] | Bellevue East</strong></p>
<p>The activity that Prokupek provided on both ends was critical for the Chieftians. He was especially active in passing lanes and he disrupted drivers with digs.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416246" first="Jaeden" last="Jimenez"] | Bellevue East</strong></p>
<p>Jimenez was the best high-volume shooter for Bellevue East this season. He loved to pull from 3+ feet behind the three-point line which gave him the extra space he needed to get hit shot off consistently.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416247" first="Gavin" last="Nelson"] | Howells-Dodge</strong></p>
<p>Nelson shot 41% from distance on 6 attempts per game. His high-volume floor spacing was perfect next to teammate [player_tooltip player_id="890595" first="Blake" last="Sindelar"], who could get into the lane at will and collapse the defense.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416250" first="Drew" last="Sellon"] | Fremont</strong></p>
<p>Sellon improved steadily throughout the year and played his best basketball of his career in the final weeks of the season. He averaged 9 points per game on the season, but after the new year he caught fire and averaged almost 13 points per game in 2022.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416248" first="Isaac" last="Herbek"] | Grand Island Central Catholic</strong></p>
<p>After scoring 7 points per game a season ago, Herbek handled his bump in usage well and put up 16 points per game as a senior on 55/41/83 shooting splits. He managed to maintain that efficiency while finishing 2nd on the team in total field goal attempts.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1416251" first="Cobe" last="Hansen"] | Lincoln Christian</strong></p>
<p>Hansen was an assist and steal machine as a senior. He did whatever his team needed, and most times that was defensive intensity and activity.</p>
