Justin Braun 6’4 2016 Boulder Creek Forward
Braun was a big x factor for the Jags against Horizon playing hard on both ends of the floor. Braun was able to finish around the rim through contact as well as lock down on the defensive end and board well on both ends of the floor. Justin was very active all night and brought lots of energy for the Jaguars.
Max Moses 6’0 2017 Arcadia Guard

Dre Marin 6’0 2017 Apollo Guard
Marin once again led the way for the Hawks scoring, distributing and making an impact all game long in a tough competitive matchup against the Titans of Arcadia. Marin continues to impress and shows that he has made great strides since the summer.
Austin Jackson 6’6 2017 North Canyon Forward
Jackson was consistent all night in a loss for the Rattlers of North Canyon as they took on tournament host Paradise Valley. Jackson had great footwork in the post, rebounded the ball well, and was a leader on the floor for his Rattler teammates. What has stood out is the improvement of agility and footwork on the court, additionally being a nationally ranked football prospect he continues to add strength to his large frame.
Jake Hess 6’9 2017 Horizon Forward
Horizon suffered a tough loss to a Boulder Creek squad. One of the bright spots was the activity of Jake Hess. He carried on a good chunk of the scoring load for the Huskies. Hess not only was able to score the ball but used his length and size to create problems on the defensive end of the floor block & altering shots as well as rebounding well for the Huskies.
