Kamryn Kaniper Kamryn Kaniper 6'4" | SF Silver Lake | 2023 State KS , 6’5 W, 2023, Silver Lake (Pictured): Helped Lake give a really good Wabaunsee team a run for their money, breaking out with a 21 point, 11 rebound, and 3 block performance. Played with a motor, brought a spark in the second half to help make it a really competitive ball game. Kaniper has put together two really solid games back to back and performances are trending upward.
Isaiah Hernandez Isaiah Hernandez 5'10" | CG Buhler | 2022 State KS , 5’10 PG, 2022, Buhler: The X-Factor for Buhler was big time in their 4 point win over El Dorado. Hernandez brought the typical defensive ability, leadership in the back court, and sharing the ball, but also stepped up his scoring and had 15 in the ball game and his team needed each one. Very solid outing for Hernandez in a big game.
Alec Carlson Alec Carlson 6'1" | CG Pawnee Heights | 2023 State KS , 6’2 G, 2023, Pawnee Heights: Sent a statement early on in the game for Heights with a thunderous slam to get things going which set the tone for their nice win over heated rival Hodgeman. He finished with 23 points in the game and showed his ability to score it from all over the court. His athleticism and explosiveness made for some highlight moments last night.
Scott Price Scott Price 5'9" | PG Bucklin | 2022 State KS , 5’9 G, 2022, Bucklin: The guard has been on a tear this year averaging 18 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds per game and been the catalyst for their 5-3 start. Last night Price erupted for 29 in their game and made a big time statement. Price is a very underrated guard in the class of 2022.
River Peters River Peters 6'3" | SG Emporia | 2025 State KS , 6’2 G, 2025, Emporia: In a tough loss to a really good Topeka West team, the young freshman flashed his talent and ability that he will bring to the Centennial league for years to come. He scored 20 in the game against the Chargers loaded back court, and helped bring another scoring punch to a young and developing Emporia team. Peters is a strong guard with both on ball and off ability in the back court.
Sam Ungashick, 6’1 PG, 2022, Blue Valley West: The PG has created a great two man tandem for Blue Valley West that at the midway point is leading them to a tremendous season. The hard nosed/versatile point guard went off for 25 points. Was great at attacking in finishing at the rim, shooting the ball on the perimeter, and getting good looks off the move.
