Cunningham had some of the more creative finishes around the basket I’ve seen this fall with the ability to finish with either hand at the rim. Cunningham is a tough cover with his ability to change directions with the ball in his hands and use the crossover to create space. Cunningham was a starter on a great Westerville South squad last season and will have an even bigger role as a senior.
Reese was as hot as any player I’ve seen in this fall league from 3-point range as his outside shooting ability gave his team a cushion in a crucial game between teams near the top of the standings. Reese has been highly pursued by tons of Division III programs, claiming a new offer pretty much every day you log into twitter. Look out for Reese this winter as Westerville North builds on an impressive 2021-22 season.
Highlights
Copley has been the breakout star from the Fall League so far, putting in impressive performances almost every week. Copley is one of the top players in southeast Ohio but has shown the ability to get it done against big time competition in this league and is set to make a jump up the rankings during our next update. Copley’s ability to create his own shot efficiently and play off the ball and score is his best skill. At his size there aren’t many players with his off the dribble shooting game.
Highlights
Baker has been a steady performer every week and finally gets his own spotlight after consistent play week after week. Baker can make shots off the catch and is smart when he attacks a closeout. I like that Baker uses two feet to finish often in the lane, giving him more balance going to the hoop. Baker also plays well of Jace Copley Jace Copley 6’3″ | SG Lucasville Valley | 2024 State OH and Jacob Roeth Jacob Roeth 6’1″ | PG Miami East | 2024 State OH , two teammates of his teammates with the Mid Ohio Pumas . I like Baker’s ability to play within a team and expect a big year for a team looking to compete for a conference and district title.
