What would a national high school boys basketball 2025 version of March Madness look like?

Winning the Gatorade Player of the Year isn't the only basketball honor Rose has from his senior campaign, as the guard became the first athlete ever to be Maine's Mr. Basketball along with the prestigious James J. Fitzgerald Award for his play on the gridiron.

Rose last season for Noble at quarterback completed 105-of-169 passes for 1,518 yards and 19 scores. The dual-threat signal caller also carried the ball 116 times for 938 yards and 13 scores.

On defense, Rose at free safety tallied 60 tackles, 34 solo, a fumble recovery and four interceptions for the Knights.
