The TigerHawks will battle it out with MFL MarMac at the top of the conference this season, and Reichter, who has the ability to dominate games on both ends of the floor, will be the reason why NFV has a chance to compete with the Bulldogs.
First Team
2025 Cael Reichter Cael Reichter 6'7" | PF North Fayette Valley | 2025 State IA (North Fayette Valley): 15.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 blocks
A versatile 6-5 forward who can score inside and out, dominate the glass, and defend multiple positions, Reichter looks primed to have a massive junior year for the TigerHawks. He’s a matchup problem with his mobility and size.
2025 Jordan Cota Jordan Cota 6'5" | SF Kee | 2025 State IA (Kee): 17.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.5 blocks
A 6-4 wing who can do a little bit of everything, Cota stuffs the stat sheet on a nightly basis for the Hawks. He led the team in scoring, rebounding, and blocks as a sophomore and is the top returning scorer in the league.
2024 Carver Blietz-Bentien Carver Blietz-Bentien 6'1" | SF MFL MarMac | 2024 State IA (MFL MarMac): 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 53.3 FG%
An active 6-1 combo forward who controls the glass on both ends of the floor, Blietz-Bentien is perhaps a touch undersized for a traditional big, but he has a non-stop motor and is a good athlete. He finishes well around the rim with either hand and is a good defender.
2025 Dalton Mudderman Dalton Mudderman 6'2" | SG Kee | 2025 State IA (Kee): 13.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.0 steals
A skilled playmaker who led the Hawks in assists and steals as a sophomore, Mudderman will pair with Cota to give Lansing Kee arguably the best duo in the conference.
2024 Wyatt Powell Wyatt Powell 6'1" | PG MFL MarMac | 2024 State IA (MFL MarMac): 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 4.4 steals
A quick 6-1 guard, Powell was ridiculous on the defensive end last season, averaging more than 4 steals a game. He has a knack for jumping passing lanes and turning defense into offense for the Bulldogs, and he’s a really good passer who sees the floor well.
