Sophomore Tres Tinkle has led the Knights throughout the season, averaging 19.3 points and 8.2 rebounds. Both numbers rank third in Class AA, but how the other Knights shoot could be a major factor.

Senior Brendan Jones heated up about this time last season, when Hellgate took third at state for the second straight year. Fellow guards Brady Henthorn and Devin Bray need to find the hole, as does 6-7 junior shot-blocker Pat Colberg.
