Evans is a remarkably productive guard, getting at least 15 points in nearly every game this season. Evans does it by running the floor at a breakneck pace for high-speed buckets at every opportunity. He gets to the goal and draws a ton of fouls. He’s a ball hawk who gets multiple steals every night, and though he’s not big, he fearlessly rebounds with quickness and athleticism. The junior is averaging 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

Avery Gatzemeyer, a second-team 2A guard, played a ton of minutes for the Dragons over the years. His experience and leadership, as well as his scoring ability, will be missed. But Evans really stepped up huge last year and will pair with Dylan Cervantez to keep Valley Falls relevant in 2A. Evans is a fast guard who gets a lot of points in transition, and can get hot from deep. He blew up at the state tournament with a three-game run of 28, 18 and 13 points.
