We'll side with Bosma, the leader of a Unity Christian team that probably enters the year as the team to beat in the conference and as one of the favorites to win it all in Class 2A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2413578' first='Dylan' last='Bosma'] (Unity Christian): 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.3 steals, 42.9 3P%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough, athletic guard who can really shoot it from the arc, Bosma is one of the best two-way guards in small-school basketball.
