<p>The Flint Hills League featured some of the best teams in 2A in the state, with seniors like <strong>Jake Benortham</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="885591" first="Cameron" last="Heiman"]</strong> and <strong>Tee Preisner</strong> leading the way.</p>
<p>But there are several up-and-comers who will capably fill those big shoes next year, including a loaded Lyndon team that went 17-3 in the regular season in 2019-20.</p>
<p>Here are the top returners to the Flint Hills League:</p>
<p><strong>Dayton Logan, junior, Mission Valley:</strong></p>
<p>At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, Logan is a load. He averaged 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds for the Vikings. He is just as likely to knock down 3-pointers as he is to pound it down in the low post. His presence helped Benortham fill up the stat sheet as a senior.</p>
<p><strong>Cade Fischer, junior, West Franklin:</strong></p>
<p>A slender 6-foot-6 junior, Fischer averaged 14.8 points and 7.6 boards. It was a rough year for the Falcons, but Fischer was a bright spot.</p>
<p><strong>Miles Kitselman, junior, Lyndon:</strong></p>
<p>A 6-foot-5, 240 pound monster in the middle, Kitselman is a pivot for his talented young teammates to work around.</p>
<p><strong>Toby Miller, sophomore, Lyndon:</strong></p>
<p>A 6-foot guard, Miller is equally confident shooting from range or taking the ball inside for the Vikings, who went 17-3 in the regular season and fell to top ranked Seabury in the sub-state final.</p>
<p><strong>Luke Detwiler, junior, Lyndon:</strong></p>
<p>The 5-foot-10 guard grabbed headlines in January when he led Lyndon to the Flint Hills Shootout title with upsets over Council Grove and Mission Valley. He averaged 13 points in the tournament.</p>
<p>Others:</p>
<p><strong>Darian Massey, sophomore, Lyndon:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Shane Orender, junior, Osage City:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Landon Boss, freshman, Osage City:</strong></p>
