With games of 51 and 46 points this season, the 5-foot-9 senior guard is averaging 29.6 points, along with 5.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals per game for the Saints, in their first season as a full member of the Idaho High School Activities Association. "Ben's endurance is incredible — he plays a lot of minutes, constantly pressures on defense, and pushes the offense to the fast pace we aim for," Coeur du Christ coach Chris Kiefer said. "His ability to maintain that energy level is a huge asset to our team."
