Jordan Barnard, senior, Olpe:
Barnard helped lead the loaded Eagles out of the break with 24 points against Burlingame, including three 3-pointers. The 6-foot-1 senior is having quite a year and the 24-point outing is his high mark thus far.
Gavin Cornelison, senior, Frankfort:
Cornelison fought valiantly in a tough loss to Hanover. He produced 25 points – his high for the season – partially by going 9-11 from the line. The 6-foot senior had his third 20-point outing and has scored at least 14 in every contest.
Jimmy Dorsey, junior, Wellsville:
A player who hasn’t attracted much attention thus far is earning it in a big way thus far. The 6-foot-5 junior Dorsey has lit up opponents for multiple three-pointers in numerous outings. He had four in a runaway win over Anderson County en route to 23 points. His combination of height and range will be something to watch the rest of the season.
Gunnar Fort, senior, Osage City:
The Indians suffered their first loss of the season, a bitter 49-40 defeat to the deep and talented Lyndon club that is currently ranked #4 in 2A. Fort produced more than half of the Indians points, going for 22.
Braden Henry, senior Wetmore:
The 5-foot-11 senior continued his run of consistency leading the 4-2 Cardinals with 19 out of the gate against Blue Valley-Randolph.
Dayton Logan, senior, Mission Valley:
Logan had his high-point game of the season in a blowout of Doniphan West with 23. The 6-foot-5 big man showed his range with three 3-pointers.
Devan Mcewen Devan Mcewen 6'3" | SG Lebo | 2021 State KS , senior, Lebo (pictured):
McEwen kept the undefeated Wolves rolling out of the break with 29 points in a blow out of Marais des Cygnes Valley. McEwen has games of 35 and 26 and has only been held below 15 once this season. McEwen is the senior leader primarily responsible for Lebo’s #5 ranking in 1A.
Raef Osterhaus, junior, Centralia:
The 6-foot-1guided the Panthers, ranked #8 in 1A, out of the break with 16 points in a blowout of Linn. Leading the deep and balanced Centralia club, Osterhaus doesn’t always need to have big scoring nights, but he showed he is capable with his 26-point outburst against Hanover.
