Kelton Buettner, senior, Madison:
Ranked #3 in 1A, the Bulldogs are off and running. While they are led by Drew Stutesman Drew Stutesman 6'2" | CG Madison | 2022 State KS and Chase Harris Chase Harris 6'2" | CG Wichita Heights | 2022 State KS on, there are plenty of other talented players on this talented squad. The 6-foot-5 Buettner provides a powerful presence in the lane and on the block. He broke out with 21 points against Yates Center and will play a key role in the Bulldogs’ fortunes.
Landon Grimmett, sophomore, Lebo:
Lebo isn’t entirely dependent upon senior Devan Mcewen Devan Mcewen 6'3" | SG Lebo | 2021 State KS . Ranked #5 in 1A, the Wolves have received stellar performances by the sophomore who tossed in 8 points a game as a freshman. This year Grimmett has games of 15 against Flinthills and Rural Vista, and 18 against Chase County. He’s a threat from the perimeter, with nine 3-pointers.
Derek Hoelting, junior, Olpe:
The #8 ranked Eagles aren’t suffering from a football playoff hangover. They have a deep and versatile lineup that will be a player in 1A. The 5-foot-10 Hoelting is just one of those athletes who plays a key role. He opened the season with 19 points, and is averaging nearly 11 per game.
Damon Redeker, junior, Olpe:
Another battle-tested athlete leading Olpe is the 5-foot-11 Redeker, who earned honorable mention 1A last season, when he averaged 12 points a contest. His scoring totals are down slightly this year, but all-state defensive back knows how to perform whatever role is needed.
Lance Noonan, junior, Burlingame:
Noonan has turned in some nice outings for the 2-1 Bearcats. He put up 12 in a tough loss to Lyndon, then had 18 against Southern Coffey.
