Frost is the most dominant individual player in the conference with his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. His 21.5 points a game are nearly seven points more than the next returnee, and his 3.7 assists and 3.3 steals a game are tops among returnees as well.
First Team
2023 Jaixen Frost Jaixen Frost 6'2" | PG Mount Ayr | 2023 State IA , Mount Ayr: 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.3 steals, 54.9 FG%, 40.0 3P%, 90.0 FT%
Frost is far and away the leading returning scorer in the league, and one of a few players in the state who was a part of the 50-40-90 club last season. A dynamic score-first guard, he dominates games on both ends of the floor for the Raiders.
2023 Keaton England, Lenox: 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals
England is coming off a solid sophomore season in which he led the Tigers in scoring and assists. If he can improve his efficiency numbers, he could put up some really impressive stats as a junior.
2022 Trey Hullinger, Central Decatur: 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals, 46.7 FG%
A 5-10 scoring guard, Hullinger does a nice job getting to the bucket and finishing or getting to the free-throw line. His 97 free-throw attempts are second among returnees behind only Frost.
2022 Matthew Boothe Matthew Boothe 6'0" | CG Central Decatur | 2022 State IA , Central Decatur: 13.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 36.7 3P%, 90.8 FT%
Booth is a do-it-all lead guard for the Cardinals who led the team in assists last season. He can score from all three levels and does a great job getting others involved as well.
2022 Hogan Franey Hogan Franey 6'0" | CG Martensdale-St. Mary's | 2022 State IA , Martensdale-St. Marys: 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 40.1 3P%
Franey has been a key piece for the Blue Devils for the last few years, helping lead them to a pair of state tournament appearances. A 40% 3-point shooter, he’ll be asked to be the go-to guy this year following the graduations of six of the top seven scorers.
