Connor Millikan Connor Millikan 6'1" | CG Platteview | 2023 State NE – Platteview
In the semi-finals of the first-ever Trailblazer Conference Tournament, Platteview hosted Beatrice in a rematch from an earlier meeting that ironically enough also caused me to write about Connor Millikan Connor Millikan 6'1" | CG Platteview | 2023 State NE . On Thursday night the standout sophomore notched 24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocked shots. Beatrice hung around for the majority of the game but then Millikan took over. He was not only getting to the rim to finish strong, but he was also making plays for his teammates down the stretch as well.
Trey Deveaux Trey Deveaux 6'5" | PF Norris | 2021 State NE – Norris
There are not many athletes in Class B basketball like 6’5 Norris senior Trey Deveaux Trey Deveaux 6'5" | PF Norris | 2021 State NE . He finished the Titans’ EMC conference semi-final victory over Bennington with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists. Deveaux’s bread and butter is finishing in the paint around the rim. He’s a very strong finisher and plays very smart.
Carter Glenn Carter Glenn 5'11" | PG Lincoln East | 2021 State NE – Lincoln East
Glenn has been on an absolute tear for the Spartans since he made his season debut. He is averaging more than 20 points a night and is doing so while playing with a dislocated shoulder. A 5’11 senior guard, Glenn is tough as nails and is a standout football player as well. On Thursday night Lincoln East hosted Lincoln Southeast in an important city matchup. Glenn led the Spartans with 21 points on 8-12 shooting on the night as East defended home court and got a big city win.
