On Saturday morning I made the trip to the Pacers Athletic Center in Westfield in order to catch a matchup between two teams that I was wanting to see more of before the summer ended. In that game, [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers'] 16u defeated Craig Porter Elite 17u 91-80.    This is a prospect we've been high on here at Prep Hoops Indiana for about a year now. A lot of what makes him such an intriguing prospect was put on display in the second half of Saturday morning's game. Bock is a super athletic 6'6" forward that can play above the rim at the end of his drives, in transition, or on set plays for a lob in the half court. The Sullivan High School product is a really effective driver and interior scorer with a go-to move of driving left to spin back right and finish. He scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the second half to lead a big comeback for the [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers']. At one point, Bock scored on six of seven consecutive possessions. His athleticism and scoring ability make him a really intriguing prospect to follow in the Class of 2026.     A true point guard who is no stranger to stuff stat sheets, Goff did what he does best on Saturday morning finishing with 9 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists while leading the [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers'] to a come from behind victory. He averaged 17.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game as a sophomore at Northview High School. Goff is an excellent rebounder from the guard position, has a pass-first mentality, and can finish consistently with both hands and the end of his drives. He will definitely be one for small college programs to get on their list sooner rather than later.     A Top 50 prospect in Kentucky's Class of 2025, Kirk was a standout for Craig Porter Elite on Saturday morning. The versatile 6'5" forward displayed a full range of offensive ability which included making open catch-and-shoot looks from the perimeter, attacking closeouts to his right hand, and using his size to finish against smaller defenders around the basket. Kirk's size and length, paired with some legitimate wing skill, is his most intriguing quality. He finished with 17 points and 7 rebounds in this contest. College programs at various levels should be following this prospect into his senior season at Warren Central High School in Kentucky.     Anytime you get a young 6'6" prospect with high-level catch-and-shoot ability you are going to be intrigued. That is the combination that this Terre Haute North High School product brings to the table. Klopfenstein had his three-point shot working on Saturday as he connected on four triples in the [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers'] win over Craig Porter Elite. He gets his shot off in a hurry, has sound footwork on the perimeter, and with his size it is hard for opposing defenses to consistently contest his catch-and-shoot attempts. High-upside prospect that should start to really breakout through his junior season.     Koomler had his catch-and-shoot ability on full display on Saturday morning as he knocked in four three-point shots for Craig Porter Elite. The 6'4" wing from Indianapolis Lutheran High School was hot out of the gate setting the tone for his team. He has impressive size and strength on the perimeter to pair with his shooting ability. Indianapolis Lutheran should once again be one of the best Class 1A teams in the state of Indiana and you can expect Koomler to play a role for the Saints as a senior.     Wallace has already put together three strong seasons at South Vermillion High School, but continues to fly under-the-radar on a statewide basis. The talented 6'0" guard showcased his high-level shooting ability on Saturday morning connecting on six three-point shots on his way to 23 points, but his Craig Porter Elite squad ultimately came up short. Wallace has a quick trigger from beyond the arc and proved his ability to create his own shot without needing much separation. When attacking downhill, he made good decisions flashing some all-around playmaking ability along with what he can do as a scorer. One to watch heading into his senior season.     There will be a lot of minutes to replace from Terre Haute North's team that won 20+ games last season. Though they were senior-laden, Woelfle was one of the underclassmen who played a key rotation role for the Patriots. The 5'9" point guard is a reliable ball handler and decision-maker in the backcourt. You can tell that he is the son of a coach (his father, Todd, is the Terre Haute North head coach). Woelfle was excellent on Saturday morning scoring 15 points as he played a major role in the [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers'] come-from-behind victory. He does an excellent job of finishing in creative ways against size inside.
