Lane has been one of the biggest stock risers of the summer, with his performances at the UNC Team Camp putting plenty of eyes on his game. After leading Highlands Ranch last season with 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, he has taken another step forward while competing with both his high school team and Elevation. The confidence he is playing with is impossible to miss. Lane is attacking the basket with purpose, consistently getting downhill and finishing through contact or around defenders. He is scoring at a prolific rate, making smart decisions with the ball and has become one of the toughest offensive matchups in Colorado’s 2027 class

Mason Lane Mason Lane 6'3" | SG Highlands Ranch | 2027 State CO put on a scoring clinic against the Eagles, letting it rain for 20 points, shooting a lights-out 50% from distance. Not only was his shot on point, but Lane’s rebounding was a monumental x-factor for the Falcons, chalking up 18 boards (12 of them being offensive). The 6’3 SG once again shows us why he’s an elite all-around threat.

Lane will be one of the premier scorers in the conference and the engine for Highlands Ranch. He shoots it at a high level, spaces the floor, controls tempo, and reads doubles to make the right play. Every night, the attention will be on him, and he’s already shown he’s built for that responsibility. Lane is a true go-to option who dictates how far his team can go and is a must-watch player all season. We expect him to be a player ready to leap this season. 

Mason can go. He plays the right way, scores at will, and takes exactly what the defense gives him. But at times, the game just calls for him to take over, and he does just that. I’m willing to call my shot early when it comes to Mason. As a sophomore, he led his team in scoring putting up 12.7 points a game. I believe he will be a 20-point-per-game scorer. He knocks down the 3-ball consistently, rebounds strong and battles on both ends of the floor. We saw him standout this summer, and we’re expecting a big year from him. He makes the jump in the rankings, and I believe by the end of the season will make another big jump. 

Mason is a player that we’re high on heading into his junior year, and we want to see if he’s able to reach new heights with his play. Mason was one of the few players to lead his team in points in the state in his sophomore season and will be tasked with carrying the scoring load yet again. He made 2^nd Team All-Conference as a sophomore and has bigger aspirations. We do think that he’s up for the task as the 6’4 wing is a three-level scorer with the mentality to take over. A big day at the event might allow him to make a big jump as we want to see what he looks like in this kind of setting.
