You will notice this is mostly guards as of course guards are able to develop quicker than bigs. You can expect the names of the big men to start emerging this summer and into next year.
Jackson Isakson of Aberdeen Christian (6’3 SG). All Conference players for the number one ranked team in the state of South Dakota. Jackson averaged almost 11 a game shooting 40 percent from the field.
Logan Bobzin of Centerville (5’10 PG). Helped Centerville to 7 wins this year with team highs in several categories. Averaged in double figures including a pair of 20 plus point games.
Ethan Cheeseman of Hanson (6’3 PF). Was on the floor early in his career for the 4th ranked team in the state showing maturity battling inside. More of a role guy this year but will have a bigger role in future years after gaining big experience.
Jonathan Johnston of Waubay/Summit (6’2 SF). The Mustangs were a .500 team this winter with Johnston steadily becoming more comfortable as a key player each night. A couple of Johnston’s 20 point games led his team to wins.
Carson Kirwan of Castlewood (6’3 SF). Put up 11.4 points and 5.4 rebounds a game for Castlewood. The Warriors went 11-9 this year with only two seniors and Carson had a season high 19 versus Waubay/Summit.
Brian LaRoche Jr of Lower Brule (5’11 PG). A young playmaker that led his team in scoring with 15 points a game and also set up his teammates on a regular basis. The Sioux were a .500 team this year.
Ethan Russell of Great Plains Lutheran (6’4 SF). GPL had a rough season but it was a year that Ethan Russell gained experience while averaging 12.5 points and nearly six boards a game.
Joe Sayler of White River (6’1 SG). Best player on this list? Sayler will get some votes while Isakson will get votes from others. Sayler was also a first team all league player for one of the best Class B teams in South Dakota.
Landon Wallman of James Valley Christian (6’1 SF). All conference third team player that scored 10-11 a contest. JVC had a really rough year with some long games but Wallman was a bright spot that deserves a mention.
Malek Wieker of Aberdeen Christian (5’11 PG). A role player on the top ranked Class B team in the state, Malek looks to have a bright future as a solid creator. Averaged a couple assists a game while scoring nearly seven points a contest.
Damon Wilkinson of De Smet (6’5 PF). We made sure to add Damon at end of this list despite it being an 11th name. Wilkinson is the biggest player among this group and had a lot of 7 point, 5 rebound, 2 block games for a top ten team playing as a role guy.
