Eight varsity teams came out to compete at the one day event, each playing three games. These are the 5 upperclassmen point guards that showed up ready to play at the Jamboree.
1. Chucky Hepburn Chucky Hepburn 6'1" | PG Bellevue West | 2021 State #77 Nation NE
The Wisconsin commit was not only the best point guard, but he was the best player in the building all afternoon. His instinct on both ends of the floor was unmatched. He played smothering defense and had great timing to jump passes and force turnovers even when his matchup didn’t have the ball. He didn’t waste any time after forcing turnovers and quickly got the ball ahead to streaking teammates or took it to the rim himself. In the half court, defenders could not keep up with Hepburn’s lightening quick crossovers and he got to the rim at will.
2. Chandler Meeks Chandler Meeks 6'1" | CG Omaha Westside | 2022 State NE
Meeks was almost equally as dominant in his three contests, but unfortunately he did not match up with Hepburn and the Thunderbirds. Meeks spent the afternoon slashing through traffic, locking up his matchup, and scoring from everywhere on the floor. He does a great job of moving defenders and creating gaps before he puts his dribble down by using hard jab steps and ball fakes. He made shots off the dribble in the mid range and knocked down catch and shoot threes. Meeks can play any of the perimeter positions, but should take a majority of ball handling duties for Westside this upcoming season.
3. Quinn Frost Quinn Frost 6'0" | CG Gretna | 2021 State NE
Frost seems ready for a breakout year after an injury sidelined him for part of his junior season. He will also be thrust into the lead role for the Gretna Dragons. Quinn is the a great player to lead your offense. He has vision and skill as a passer and creates opportunities for teammates by shifting defense with hard drives and ball fakes. Quinn takes care of the ball and is a good shooter from deep.
4. Gage Stenger Gage Stenger 6'2" | PG Millard South | 2022 State NE
Stenger looks like he has been in the weight room this summer getting stronger. He plays hard and has good hands defensively to slap the ball loose when opponents give him a look at it. He has a quick spin moves that he uses to create for himself in the midrange and at the basket. Stenger still needs to continue to improve as a shooter, but he has good size and playmaking ability at the point guard position.
5. Jared Bohrer Jared Bohrer 5'10" | CG Lincoln Pius | 2022 State NE
Bohrer did a good job of finding space on the perimeter and burying shots from deep. He is also a skilled ball handler that helped Lincoln Southwest beat pressing defenses through the first couple games. Unfortunately, some cramping kept Bohrer from playing in the third game of the day. In his time on the court, the 2022 guard hit shots from the outside and navigated through traffic to finished at the rim.
