Tre AlexanderTreAlexander6'3" | CGTopeka West | 2021StateKS and
Elijah Brooks
ElijahBrooks6'2" | CGTopeka West | 2022StateKS would lead the Chargers. But no one knew just how big a role Wilkerson was set to play for Topeka West. He cashed in 18 points against Seaman, then came back Friday with 12 against Topeka High. He is an integral part of everything they do, leading from the point, on the wing or in the high post, their offense is running through him.
Aaron Lira, senior, Topeka West:
A lights-out shooter and senior leader of the Chargers, Lira popped in three 3-pointers Friday to finish with 11 points.
Isiah EsquibelIsiahEsquibel6'3" | CGTopeka | 2021StateKS, senior, Topeka High:
Esquibel battled injuries and took a back seat to the set of stars the Trojans collected last season. But he showed his ability in Friday’s loss to Topeka West. He takes the ball strong to the basket, runs the point, shoots from the wing – he’ll play a ‘do everything’ role this season. He hit six buckets and finished with 15 Friday.
Jalen SmithJalenSmith6'2" | SGTopeka High | 2021StateKS, senior, Topeka High (pictured):
The only true ‘returner’ for Topeka High, Smith showed his athleticism and versatility Friday with 10 points.
Jake Muller, junior, Hayden:
The 5-foot-11 junior has a hand in everything for Hayden, playing scrappy defense, handling the ball and playing a scoring threat. He hit for 8 points against Manhattan.
Juan’Tario RobertsJuan’TarioRoberts5'10" | CGHighland Park | 2022StateKS, junior, Highland Park:
The Scots won with defense, shutting down Washburn Rural Friday night. The athletic Roberts posed a problem for the Junior Blues at both ends, and of course he showed off his ability to blitz the basket. He finished 5-11 from the field to lead the Scots with 13.
