is also going to be playing at Copper Mountain College next year. He was a reliable player for the Knights throughout their 2024-2025 season, and had a lot to do with grabbing the 3A title. On offense, he finds ways to score inside. On defense, he is an absolute pest and doesn’t give his opponents much breathing room. Hopefully he can keep elevating his game these next few years.

, is a high IQ guard that is always locked in. He plays hungry and determined. Which often leads to him grabbing rebounds or snagging steals. He also did quite a bit of scoring for the Knights and he averaged 14.2 PPG during their playoff run. A majority of his baskets come near the rim, and he also finds ways to draw contact.

Taylor moves up 14 spots after helping lead his Mater East Knights to a state title. I was able to watch him play multiple times this season and his effort constantly stood out. When he was on offense, he was efficient and hit 70% of his shots. I also named Taylor the defensive player of the year in 3A due to his ability to come up with steals. All in all, it was a productive year from the senior.

utilized his speed and IQ to make plays for the Knights on Friday. On offense, he had some good bursts that allowed him to get to the rim. On defense, he frustrated the Fernley guards by beating them to the spots they were trying to get to. Taylor also came up with 3 steals.

just plays hard and produces. I was a fan how he consistently found scoring opportunities, and was once again grabbing offensive rebounds. On defense, he gave the Spring Creek guards trouble all night. They had a very tough time bringing the ball up the court against him. His efforts paid dividends too, as the Spartans seemed fatigued in the 4th quarter.

did it all for the Knights on Wednesday night. He played with determination and intensity right from the beginning, and had 8 points in the first quarter. Taylor didn’t slow down from there, he went after offensive rebounds and managed to hit some tough shots amongst the Meadows School’s forwards. He also applied good ball pressure on defense, and collected a couple of steals.

had a solid all around performance to help the Knights get the win. The Sloan Canyon guards had a very difficult time bringing the ball up the court when Taylor was applying pressure. His efforts led to some easy points for himself and his teammates. On offense, Taylor had a couple of nice drives and he also got to the free throw line by drawing contact.

led the way for the Knights in the scoring department. Although there was huge crowd on hand, he didn’t seem very phased. Taylor finished the night going 6-8 from the field, and 3-4 from the free throw line. Taylor was also flying around on defense and managed to collect 3 steals.

Taylor is a key player for a Mater East team that has had a remarkable season. The guard who approaches the top 50 in the rankings is going to be counted on to defend as well as make plays if Mater East is to hold the crown up at the end of the week.

Expect the tough two way guard to be a key piece for Mater.
