District 3 Prospects to Watch: 2025

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To say that the region's 2025 class is loaded would be an understatement. Central York's [player_tooltip player_id='1271440' first='Ben' last='Rill'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1287319' first='Ben' last='Natal'], Eastern York's [player_tooltip player_id='1287318' first='Carter' last='Wamsley'], Chambersburg's JJ Kelly, and Trinity's [player_tooltip player_id='1865345' first='Owen' last='Schlager'] are just the top of the iceberg. Here are a few more to keep an eye on:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2391364' first='Nolan' last='Buzalka'] | W 6'3 Cumberland Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A defensive end and tight end in football, Buzalka likes to initiate the contact on the court. The lefty can power his way to the rim or counter by spinning back to his right for extension finishes. His strength allows him to take the spots he wants. He can also stop and pop from multiple spots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dayrell Everett | G 5'10 East Pennsboro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Everett is faster than most of his opponents, but he seems to see the game at a different speed too. He can effortlessly shift gears to split defenders or hit the breaks and euro step around them. Evenwhile running full speed in transition, Everett will often flip the ball behind his back or over his shoulder for a no-look dime.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1466625' first='Wayne' last='Fletcher II'] | 6'3 G Central Dauphin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beyond being the prototypical “coach's son,” Fletcher II is one of the most skilled guards in the region. His coaches can run plays for him due to his prowess as a movement shooter. They can also trust him with the ball because he's unselfish and doesn't force or take bad shots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1410833' first='Camden' last='Ochs'] | F 6'5 Cocalico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ochs is as tough as he is dynamic. The stretch big can be seen leading fastbreaks and beating small players with straight line drives, as well as being an enforcer in the paint. He played his sophomore season with a brace on. So it'll be exciting to see how much better he is without it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2047667' first='JoJo' last='Woodard'] | G 5'11 Central York&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He isn't the biggest guard, but he is one of the strongest pound-for-pound. Woodard pulls down more boards than you'd expect. And when he drives, Woodard uses his explosive lower half to knock defenders off balance and to absorb contact at the rim, leading to frequent trips to the free throw line.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nathanael Costume | Harrisburg Christian&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1764221' first='Jake' last='Dallas'] | W 6'3 York Catholic&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nico Defrank | Lower Dauphin </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Donovan Gingrich | Conrad Weiser</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1481147' first='Madyx' last='Gruber'] | G 5'10 Wilson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1410831' first='Brady' last='Hofsass'] | Lower Dauphin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Azmir Ludvig | W 6'3 Central York </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1570526' first='Brady' last='McKee'] | 5'11 G Weiser</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason Rogers | Manheim Central&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2478639' first='Josh' last='Smith'] | G 6'1 Mechanicsburg&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2391442' first='Parker' last='Smith'] | Carlisle&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1466599' first='Chase' last='Smucker'] | Lampeter-Strasburg&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1460807' first='Kai' last='Stryhn'] | 6'3 G York Suburban</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tavis Turner | Susquehanna Township</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eli Vega | Central Dauphin East&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1549174' first='Chance' last='Yanoski'] | 6'2 G Mechanicsburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
