Frank Paszkowski Frank Paszkowski 6'3" | SF Taft | 2024 IL (Taft – 2024)
The 6’3” shooting guard from Taft had a nice first half in the opening game of the event. Strong bodied wing that has a crisp pull up game and plays with physicality scoring 12 points.
Lyle Scibor (Taft – 2024)
This junior shooting guard is a scrappy player that sneaks in for rebounds, handles in the open floor, and hits mid-range jumpers. Dropped 17 points.
Rodney Murphy (OPRF – 2024)
Murphy was really good for OPRF. The 6’3” small forward has a thick body and worked hard on the offensive glass for second chance opportunities. Finished out of the dunker spot and hit a three off the catch for 16 points.
Ty Macariola Ty Macariola 6'1" | SG Fenwick | 2025 State IL (Fenwick – 2025)
Macariola took over the game for Fenwick in their victory as he had 22 points. The shooting guard is a creative ball handler that loved the floater game and scoop shots in the paint.
Kamren Hogan (Fenwick – 2025)
Another new sophomore name for Fenwick was this 6’3” combo guard. Has size and projectability. Showed flashes of being able to play a bit on and off the ball for a young Fenwick squad. Went for 9 points.
Cole Pruitt (Whitney Young – 2024)
Pruitt starts for a loaded Dolphins team and we had never seen him play before to my knowledge. The 6’2” shooting guard has nice length and a clean looking three point stroke. He drained three of them in Whitney Young’s win over Gonzaga for 9 points. One to monitor moving forward.
Joseph Worthington-White (St. Rita – 2024)
There was some up and down play from the new St. Rita point guard who transferred in from Indiana. Saw the same in Washington as he had some turnovers and struggled against Simeon’s pressure. On the positive side he shot it well especially in one spurt where he drained multiple threes for 12 points.
