**all players are juniors**
Michael Wilson Michael Wilson 6'2" | SF IN 6-2 Madison West (WI) (pictured) A top 10 player in the state of Wisconsin. More importantly, played up to that lofty ranking. Easily the most talented player I saw on the evening. Is a physically imposing backcourt prospect. So much so that he did most damage operating out of the mid post. Has a thick upper body and a lot of bounce. Adding to the package plays off of two feet and at his own pace. Scored a lot of points but was a willing passer who played with his head up. Exploded to rim and elevated over most opponents. Was able to make plays in the air that most players can’t make due to hang time and creativity. Is left handed but could also go to right. Despite obvious talent, was patient and did force the issue. Almost brought his MadCity Mambas all the way back in a huge comeback. Had the shot at the end to tie it. But it fell short.
Prescott Horvath Prescott Horvath 6'7" | C Mishawaka Marian | 2026 IN 6-7 Mishawaka Marian (IN) Won’t be surprised if this is the biggest player I see all weekend. Is a legitimate 6-7 with a very thick frame. I wouldn’t call him fast. But moved well for his size. Also showed well schooled footwork and a soft touch around the basket. Had a real nice drop step reverse layup that showed off the post skill set. Got excellent deep position frequently by his using wide frame to seal off well in the post. Good ball skills and was a good passer when the double teams started to come. Would need to improve elevation to take the next step. But has a lot to work with already.
Brandon Foster Brandon Foster 5'10" | PG Mishawaka Marian | 2026 IN 5-10 Mishawaka Marian (IN) While Horvath was eating down low. It was regular season teammate who was setting him up. Foster is physical pass first point guard prospect who got his teams into sets efficiently. Showed good speed and a tight handle. When defenses began to sag and double down on Horvath was able to keep them honest with his outside shot.m
Braden Porter 6-1 Crown Point (IN) Porter was patient and composed scorer for Region Force. Earned most of his points with near constant off ball movement. Caught the ball in the shooting with a quick release and little wasted movement. Also showed the strength to finish through contact. Created a lot of that contact and was adept at getting to the line.
Sawyer Tonagel 6-1 LaPorte (IN) Tonagel was very similar to his teammate Porter. Good off ball movement and solid mid range game. Had a nice late drive down the baseline for a needed bucket late. Was a good live dribble passer. Was able to find teammates on kick outs off of penetration. Like Porter, had a smooth and efficient release from beyond the arc.
