Here at Prep Hoops PA, the updates continue for the Fall League season with the second-team selections. This team includes players from two specific classes (2022, 2023). We have designated these teams in a creative and fun platform to simulate participation in "real" game situations. Each class will touch on the starters, the sixth man, and bench players. So with two months before the official start date of the high school season, we take an in-depth look at some of the top performers on the hardwood this Fall.
