Rice rounds out my standouts from the opening round. One of the things that should excite Wren fans about a run this season is that they return their three best players next season. That includes Kamden, who is one of the best freshmen in the state, and happened to play one of his best games this season in their 38-point first-round win. Rice stepped up with 17 points, 6 assists, and 6 steals in it, impacting the game with aggressive offense and active defense. Although he hit a couple of jumpers early, he still never settled, consistently taking the right shot or making the right pass within the flow of the offense. Early playoff games can go a long way in the development of young players, so it was great to see Kam step up to the moment on Tuesday.
