They were 11-10 last year led by the underclassmen backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id='3787465' first='Jaxson' last='Smith'] and [player_tooltip player_id='3794326' first='Briggs' last='Buckingham']. Both are skilled, quick guards that were the key scorers last year and Briggs has a chance to make a really big jump. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3758818"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad1281ae0fa3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cason was a first team all league player last year for Lyndon as the best underclassmen in the Flint Hills Conference. Lyndon had a brilliant freshman season scoring nearly 19 points a game and shooting over 40 percent from the arc. Had three 20+ point per game performances immediately last season against Mission Valley, Wabaunsee and Chase County. A top scorer to watch this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794353"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad1281ae0fc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cyrus earned his way into the line-up last year for Wichita North as one of the few freshmen in the Great Wichita to work his way into a spot in the line-up. Cyrus was physically ready as he came off the bench and shot the ball at over 40 percent while scoring a couple times a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3794361"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad1281ae0fe4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another one of the up and coming guards that has come across our board is [player_tooltip player_id='3794361' first='Indy' last='Williams'], the Wichita North lead guard. North had a tough season but Williams played a lot of time scoring five points a game and he's ready to take a bigger step forward. North is a young team with Cyrus, Changa, and Franklin all also playing as underclassmen a season ago, and now they hope to push towards being a .500 team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3758791"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ad1281ae1004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crawford was a first team all league honored player scoring 15.4 points a game with shooting splits of 45/36/72. He led Trego to 17 wins as the best player on their team with five boards and four assists a contest. Vladon is not only the standout guard for Trego, he is a dual threat quarterback for the football team putting up numbers as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
