6’3 combo guard, Rising Senior – A talented athlete that will be one of the top players in the state of Pennsylvania this upcoming hoop season. He has developed as a complete basketball player and definitely got stronger in the weight room which will make him even more difficult to defend on the court. Keondre is garnering division 1 and division 2 interest and it will only grow as the winter approaches.
Jimmy Kunst Jimmy Kunst 6'2" | CG Highlands | 2023 State PA , Highlands High School (Basketball-Baseball)
6’2 point guard, Rising Senior – This overall balanced top performer has an outstanding basketball IQ that separates him from the average players on the floor. His ability to score from a multitude of spots on the court is a major asset of his game. Jimmy continues to grow as a leader for his team while being an extension of a coach on the hardwood that pushes his teammates to go above and beyond their abilities.
Rodney Gallagher Rodney Gallagher 6'0" | CG Laurel Highlands | 2023 State #176 Nation PA , Laurel Highlands High School (Basketball-Football)
6’0 combo guard, Rising Senior – He has committed to the University of West Virginia for football, but we could not exclude him from this list due to his talent on the hoop court. With dynamic partner Keondre DeShields Keondre DeShields 6'3" | CG Laurel Highlands | 2023 State PA , this duo will be an unstoppable force all over the floor this high school season in the half court set and transition game. Rodney does have the opportunity and ability to try playing both sports in college, but only time will tell on that decision.
Debaba Tshibewe, Central Catholic High School (Basketball-Football)
6’6 power forward, Rising Senior – An aggressive, solid beast of a high school player who has the talent and skill to dominate the post on the offensive side of the ball with consistent buckets. As for the defensive end of the court, he is a high-level rim protector with constant blocked shots and extremely strong rebounding effort. Debaba is a division 1 football prospect, but look for him to have a good amount of chances to continue his basketball career in college as well.
Kellen McDonough Kellen McDonough 6'5" | PF Woodland Hills | 2023 State PA , Woodland Hills High School (Basketball-Football)
6’5 power forward, Rising Senior – This tough, fundamentally sound big man owns the post on offense for his team with above-average ablility to score the ball on a consistent basis, while setting screens to free up shooters. Watch for his development to continue to extend out toward the perimeter for quality mid-range jumpers. Kellen has many opportunities to participate in college football so basketball will stop after this season, but that will not stop him from working hard to be successful on the court.
