Top 2025 Dual Sport Athletes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players perform at a high level in multiple seasons, namely basketball and football. We admire the multi-sport athletes as they commit a tremendous amount of time to both sports and more than excel in both. Lets take a look at the 2025's. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1578745' first='Gavin' last='Parker Watts'] has already set the courts on fire throughout basketball season. However most don't understand how good he is on the gridiron. The rangy and fast Watts has serious range as a DB and safety as well as super great hands as a WR which has some wondering would he have a shot to play D2 football or even walk-on at Marshall despite already having an NAIA offer for hoops with Kentucky Christian. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2208847' first='Jack' last='Spatafore'] isn't a name we hear often associated with football, however the folks in Bridgeport WV know differently. Spatafore not only leads the Indians on the hardwood but he can spin it on the gridiron with the best in WV. Problem is, he gets very few chances due to Bridgeport's ground and pound offense. Spatafore is a speedy 6'2" shooting guard on the hardwood who has a legit shot playing basketball beyond high school, but could have the same opportunity in football if given the chance to get under center for his senior year. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1408520' first='Dane' last='Hatfield'] burst onto the sports scene early as a freshman shooting guard for Herbert Hoover but also as a gun slinging sophomore QB. Hatfield is a sturdy built shooting guard/wing player on the hardwood who led Hoover in scoring this past year, but is also an All State caliber quarterback on the gridiron. We'd project his football opportunities will be plentiful while basketball will remain an option at the next level. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2068056' first='TD' last='Bodkins'] is a pass catching WR/TE hybrid who gets it done in either season. Big, rangy and athletic, Bodkins eclipsed a 1000 points on the hardwood last season following up his stellar pass catching season in the fall. Bodkins will definitely have numerous football opportunities in football beyond high school but don't sell him short on the hardwood as the strong wing and long range shooter simply knows how to play. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2366403' first='Sha'lik' last='Hampton'] will be one of the most talked about football players in WV this coming fall and for good reason. the 6'4" ultra athletic tight end already boasting D1 football offers is a menace on the hardwood as several have found out during AAU season. The strong power forward rebounds at an elite rate and pumps in put backs and takes to the basket at ease. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2366404' first='Carter' last='Zuliani'] stock is on the rise. In hoops you see the 6'5" power forward rebounding and showtime dunking while on the gridiron he'll be one of WV's top football recruits this season at tight end. Zuliani has made the transfer move to Bridgeport High School and will play his senior year as an Indian in both sports. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2337625' first='Brady' last='Strode'] quickly became on of WV's top small school QB's but also doubled up with a junior hoops campaign that included 17pts and 7 rebounds per game in the tough LKC schedule. Strode will return under center this season for the nights with chances to set several school records as well as finish his senior hoops season as Knights royalty. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2337631' first='Gavin' last='Derby'] is one of WV's top small school dual threat QB's as well as one of Valley High School's best ever in any sport. Maybe a bit undersized in football and basketball, Derby squeezes out every thing possible to lead his Lumberjacks in both sports scoring 20+ per game in hoops as well as boast big passing/rushing numbers in the fall. Derby for a hat trick also stars in track &amp; field and set school records this year. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
