2026: Holiday Breakout Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The holidays have been bringing the best out of some players and here are a few in the class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2539703' first='Thomas' last='Packer'], Weber</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539703' first='Thomas' last='Packer'], a 6'0 guard, has been on fire during this Holiday Tournament season. He's averaging around 17 points per game, providing Weber with the scoring lift they desperately require. If he can secure more opportunities for shots from beyond the arc, he has the potential to become an even more valuable scorer and team player for a squad striving for additional victories.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Grady Court, Hillcrest</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grady Court has been a consistent performer during the holiday season, averaging 15 points per game (PPG) and around 5 rebounds. As a new name for the Huskies, Court has contributed to several key wins, particularly against rival Brighton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2823225' first='Jesse' last='Jones'], West</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'6 athlete is making a name for themselves and emerging as a true next-level talent. Their rebounding prowess on both ends of the court frequently results in easy scoring opportunities. With the potential to average over 15 points per game, their skillset and remaining time indicate significant upside at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2861652' first='Bode' last='Davis'], Clearfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is another sleeper in the Class of 2026. At 6'6 with the ability to be a hybrid forward that can play both inside and outside, he has significant upside. His outside game will improve at the next level, but his motor on the glass is immediately noticeable. Davis is easily a double-double threat night in and night out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2861639' first='Carson' last='Tovey'], Viewmont</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2861639' first='Carson' last='Tovey'] is a player I am very excited about in this class. He has the potential to be a steal for any team at the next level. Standing at 6'4, Tovey possesses good length and is versatile, capable of playing both on and off the ball. He is an accurate shooter and excels at creating space for himself and teammates. Furthermore, Tovey demonstrates a strong rebounding presence, crashing the boards on both ends of the court. This combination of skills makes him a valuable asset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blake Scott, Salem Hills</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scott has made the most of the holiday break, emerging as a key player in some crucial games. He recently put up an impressive 20-point performance against Oaks Christian in California. In the game against Juan Diego, Scott contributed with key baskets and assists, helping his team defeat one of the top 4A teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
