4) Plainfield – Senior Mike Price – 6’2” {ER – 15}
Mike did not let his foul trouble affect his game. His defensive tenacity has been a catalyst for the Cardinals all year. Against Columbia it was no different. Price harassed the Cougar guards all night. Price picked up 3 steals, grabbed 4 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, and shot 50% from the floor.

5) Plainfield – Senior Mike Williams – 6’7” {ER – 11}
Other than Johnson, Williams was the only other player to score in double digits. His mid range game is coming at the right time. His height gives him the ability to shoot over nearly all defenders. Williams shot 71% from the floor mostly on midrange jump shots while only committing 1 turnover, his first so far in the state tournament.
