Week 4 PAC League Eye-Catchers

The annual Pacers Athletic Center League came to a close on Tuesday night after four weeks of basketball. Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground coverage each and every Tuesday bringing you live updates and breakdowns of top performers. Here we will release our individual standouts and eye-catchers from the fourth and final week of action.    Production, production, production. That is the name of the game for this 6'4" wing from Cathedral High School. The Fighting Irish defeated Pike and Guerin Catholic on Tuesday night to win the "championship" of the June league. Aldridge Jr. was a big part of their success relentlessly getting to the rim and finishing with both hands through contact like he does so well. There simply isn't much you can do to stop him when he gets into the paint.     An under-the-radar prospect out of Pike High School, Ashley really impressive with his versatile two-way skill set on Tuesday night. He handled the ball quite a bit for the Reds Devils showcasing the ability to bring it up in the open floor or make a move to beat his man in the half court. Ashley also knocked down a couple face-up jump shots and displayed his athleticism when finishing around the rim. Intriguing prospect for small college programs to track in July.     Coming off of a great weekend at the Charlie Hughes Showcase that saw him earn three Division I offers from Eastern Illinois, Missouri State, and SIU-Edwardsville, Cardinal was excellent once again on Tuesday evening. He helped lead Guerin Catholic to a win over Warren Central before falling to Cathedral in the "championship" game. The 6'7" forward shot it well from three-point range, showcased his crafty scoring ability on the block, and flashed his ability as a passer as well.     A key contributor in Westfield's backcourt at the Charlie Hughes Showcase, Freehauf also played very well at Tuesday night's PAC League. The 6'1" shooting guard can really get going from beyond the arc where he is at his best as a catch-and-shoot threat. His quick release and footwork off of screening action has been impressive throughout the month of June. Look for him to carve out a nice role as a floor spacer and secondary ball handler as a junior for the Shamrocks.     Tuesday night was quite possibly the best that I've seen Hill play yet in his young career. The 6'10" center was active on both ends of the court corralling several rebounds, finishing putbacks, and threw down a lob dunk in transition. Then, as always, he was protecting the rim at an incredibly high level defensively. There may not be a better pure shot blocker in the entire Class of 2027 than this Pike High School prospect. Hill also stepped out and hit a trail spot three on Tuesday evening.     It seems like Kirby plays very well every time I watch him in action. The 5'10" left-handed point guard has a bit of a different shooting motion, but it goes in at an impressive rate. Also, for being a smaller guard, he squeezes it off consistently both from the catch and off of the dribble. He is able to create his own shot and appears ready to be a leader in the Warren Central backcourt this season. Don't sleep on this prospect or the Warriors in general this season.     One of the trio of super talented rising sophomores at Liberty Christian that helped lead them within a possession of Gainbridge Fieldhouse as freshmen. Martin was incredibly active on both ends of the floor for the Lions on Tuesday night playing in the passing lanes, rebounding from the perimeter, and consistently finishing at the rim at the end of his drives. Highly productive player with a bunch of athleticism.     Just a couple of weeks into playing with his new team, Smith has looked great in a Cathedral uniform each of the last two Tuesday nights at the PAC League. The dynamic, athletic point guard also helped lead the Fighting Irish to a 4-0 record at the Charlie Hughes Showcase. He is a very good playmaker off of the dribble and continues to shoot it well from beyond the arc as well. When you pair all of that with what he can bring to the table as an on-ball defender you can easily see why he is a Top 20 prospect in Indiana's Class of 2026.     Toles put together an impressive performance on Tuesday night as Guerin Catholic knocked off Warren Central in game one before falling to Cathedral in the "championship" game. The 6'7" left-handed forward finished consistently inside playing well both out of the dunker's spot and in the high-low game with Cardinal. He is a good passer and showed the ability to face-up and drive it one or two dribbles to the basket. High academic prospect for small college coaches to check out in July.     Williams did what he does best on Tuesday night which is be 6'8", incredibly long, and incredibly athletic. He had an incredible two-handed putback tip-dunk in one of the games and was continuously involved in action at the rim on both ends of the floor. When it comes to rim-running, serving as a lob threat, and protecting the rim it is hard to find a higher-upside prospect in Indiana's Class of 2025 than this Ben Davis big man.
