Jared Lee Jared Lee 6'1" | PG Staley | 2023 State MO (Staley): The 6’1 combo guard played a vital role in the Falcons march to the tournament championship. He’s an excellent secondary ball handler alongside standout Kyan Evans Kyan Evans 6'2" | PG Staley | 2023 State MO , but he’s also a potent offensive player. He’s got a feathery touch from 3-point range and he can score on slicing drives into the lane.
Koterrion Owens (Charleston): A 6’1” 2024 power forward who continues to amaze with how he produces inside against much taller opponents. He uses his big body and high motor to maneuver in the paint for buckets and rebounds. He can be a bull-moose with the power game in the post, but he has the footwork to play the finesse game as well.
Jalen Purvey Jalen Purvey 6'1" | CG Webster Groves | 2023 State MO (Webster Groves): A 6’1 2023 shooting guard who provides instant offense and a scorer’s mentality. He’s a capable 3-point shooter, but he is also adept at creating offense off the dribble.
Ken’Veon Stone (Staley): A thick-bodied 6’1 2024 guard who came up with a big performance in the championship game against Charleston. He came off the bench to score a team-high 16 points. Much of his damage was done in the second half when the Falcons broke open a close game. He made a pair of 3-pointers and powered his way into the lane for several buckets.

(CBC): A 6’4 2025 guard who did a nice job providing consistent 3-point shooting throughout the weekend. He’s a solid ball handler with good length and she’s starting to fill out physically.
Simon Johnson (McCluer North): The 5’9” 2024 point guard led the Stars to a pair of victories and a surprising run to the consolation bracket championship. He has excellent quickness and he’s a tenacious on-ball defender, which rubbed off on the rest of the team. He used his speed to break down defenders for buckets and nice dimes off his dribble penetration.
Will Chapman (John Burroughs): A 6’0 2023 guard who had a successful weekend attacking the basket and finishing. He was constantly probing and finding openings and going to the basket with gusto. He took on the contact and kept coming at every opportunity.
