Class 3A WPIAL Section 3 – Fab 15 Standouts

<h5>As we move forward with the selection of all-section teams in the 3A classification, the teams and players did not disappoint us this season. A competitive group of student-athletes showcased their skills in gymnasiums across Western PA. Let’s take a look at our Fab 15 of the WPIAL Class 3A - Section 3, which is an extremely talented group of young men. These high school basketball players were selected by the Prep Hoops Pennsylvania staff and are more than worthy of their selections to the Fab 15 of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League.</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CLASS 3A - SECTION 3</strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FAB 15:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1188036" first="Peter" last="Kramer"], Shady Side Academy High School</p> <p>Sophomore, Shooting Guard</p> <p>= A talented, balanced player that can score in a variety of ways throughout a game with a high basketball IQ</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1187942" first="Eli" last="Teslovich"], Shady Side Academy High School</p> <p>Sophomore, Combo Guard</p> <p>= This young man commands the game, is extremely unselfish, and is a proven leader of his team</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Rian Fitzgerald, Shady Side Academy High School</p> <p>Senior, Shooting Guard</p> <p>= He can shoot coming off screens and knockdown the open jumper as well during a contest</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="991349" first="Bryce" last="Epps"], South Allegheny High School</p> <p>Junior, Combo Guard</p> <p>= His ability to create opportunities for himself and his teammates is a strong suit of this top performer</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Ethan Kirkwood, South Allegheny High School</p> <p>Senior, Shooting Guard</p> <p>= An above average perimeter shooter who likes to get others involved when he is heavily guarded</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Matt Marinchak, Ligonier Valley High School</p> <p>Senior, Wing Forward</p> <p>= A tall, long forward that has the ability to score from mid range, in the post, and with penetration in the lane</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1395834" first="Makhai" last="Valentine"], Steel Valley High School</p> <p>Junior, Combo Guard</p> <p>= This extremely skilled player scores from many spots on the floor and is a high quality defender</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1395937" first="Cruce" last="Brookins"], Steel Valley High School</p> <p>Junior, Point Guard</p> <p>= His quickness and precision passing lead his team on the court in the half court set and during transition</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1186440" first="Gage" last="Johnston"], Apollo Ridge High School</p> <p>Senior, Wing Forward</p> <p>= An overall talented player that has a high basketball IQ and strong leadership to compliment his basketball skills to make his teammates better</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>BJ Harvey, Valley High School</p> <p>Senior, Point Guard</p> <p>= This young man has shifty and creative moves that cause fits for his opponents throughout four quarters each game</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dylan Rhoades, Ligonier Valley High School</p> <p>Senior, Wing Forward</p> <p>= He likes to slash to the hoop and definitely will shoot well from perimeter when the opportunity is there for him</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Alex Kramer, Shady Side Academy High School</p> <p>Senior, Power Forward</p> <p>= A skilled post performer that rebounds well on both ends of the floor during a game</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Cam Epps, South Allegheny High School,</p> <p>Freshman, Point Guard</p> <p>= Despite his small stature he can create opportunities for his team and lock up the opponents top player</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Karter Schrock, Apollo Ridge High School</p> <p>Sophomore, Shooting Guard</p> <p>= This young player likes to push the ball on the break and makes outstanding passes for his team to finish at the basket</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Mikey Smith, East Allegheny High School</p> <p>Senior, Wing Forward</p> <p>= An athletic standout on the football field brings that energy and aggressiveness to the hoop court especially on the defensive end </p>
