Wassler had a big game in a victory over Lutheran East and has put up strong stats for an improving Cincy St Xavier squad. At 12.4 points and 7.7 rebounds, Wassler sits fifth in the conference in scoring and second in rebounding. On the defensive end, Wassler averages 1.1 blocks per game which leads the conference. All of these numbers are up massively from his sophomore season averages of 5.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and half a block per game. I expect Wassler to get a lot of scholarship interest from a variety of levels this summer if he continues this upward trajectory.
Lutheran West is one of the top teams in the state and their interior presence of the Meyer twins is a big reason why. Lutheran West has a nice blend of seniors and returners and Meyer has taken a leap this year with his perimeter shooting ability and production. With more marquee regular season games and a potential deep playoff run again this season, Meyer and the Longhorns should continue to remain in the headlines as we progress through the season.
Another prospect who has seen his numbers skyrocket, Imade went from 2.2 PPG as a sophomore to 9.1 PPG and 3.9 RPG as a Junior thus far. Playing next to Raleigh Burgess Raleigh Burgess 6’10” | C Sycamore | 2024 State #130 Nation OH , the Aviators have one of the top frontcourts in southwest Ohio. With double digit scoring performances in his last three games, it seems like Imade is turning the corner as we head into the second half of the season with Sycamore pushing for a conference and district title run.
