But it’s not too late to take a look back at some of the best performances turned in by players who will be back for another go round this fall.
Here are some of the best performances from bigs in the Flint Hills League last season:
Jackson Biggs, 6-foot-5 forward, 2023, Lyndon:
With lots of talent around him, Biggs didn’t have all the pressure on his shoulders last year. He had a lot of nice games, but rarely scored in double figures as a sophomore. His biggest output was in a one-point win over Madison in which Biggs hit 7-8 from the line and finished with 16 points. Look for a lot more outings like that one this season.
Landon Boss Landon Boss 6'1" | SF Osage City | 2023 State KS , 6-foot-1 forward, 2023, Osage City:
Boss torched defenses night in and night out, but he had one night that stood out in particular – a 36-point effort against Central Heights. Boss hit 6-8 from the line, knocked down two 3-pointers, and converted 14 field goals in all. Boss earned honorable mention 3A as a sophomore.
Braden Hines, 6-foot-2 forward, 2022, Northern Heights:
Hines was remarkably consistent last year, scoring in double figures in nearly every game. He reached the 20s a few time, with his biggest outbust coming against West Franklin. Hines buried five 3-pointers and 7-9 from the line to finish with 28.
Koen Hula Koen Hula 6'4" | PF Council Grove | 2022 State KS , 6-foot-4 forward, 2022, Council Grove:
The honorable mention 3A post player has scored a lot of points already in his career. He had one of his best nights against Wamego, when he hit 8-10 from the line and scored 22.
Keaton Marcotte, 6-foot-2 forward, 2022, Mission Valley:
Mission Valley had a lot of scoring options last year, so Marcotte spent most of the season in a supporting role. But he did bust loose for nine field goals and 3-3 from the line against West Franklin, giving him a season-high 21 points.
Toby Miller, 6-foot-3 forward, 2022, Lyndon:
Like Biggs, Miller wasn’t needed to score a ton last season, as the diverse Tigers had a lot of weapons. Miller will probably have more nights next season like the Council Grove game last year in which he hit 6-7 from the line to notch 16 points.
