PHVA Expo 2026 Standouts (Part 3)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops VA Expo took place at Rock It Sports in Richmond on Sunday, September 31, with players from all over the state ranging from seniors to sophomores attending to compete and get their names out there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a great day of competition with 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 games played intensely throughout the day. Here's a look at part three of the many 2026 standouts from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2548280' first='Adam' last='Perdue'] | 6'3” WG | Broad Run</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548664,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagemveFW8.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImagemveFW8.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548664" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perdue came into the Expo with the reputation of being one of the top shooters in NOVA public schools, and while he solidified that he showed he can do more than that as well. The 6'3” two guard shot the ball well from deep showing good range a quick release, he moved well off the ball to get shots and used cuts to get easy buckets around the rim, he made plays off the bounce for himself and others and he also showed great instincts on the defensive end too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tristian Isenhour | 6'3” PG | New Covenant</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548663,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0wPz64.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0wPz64.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548663" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isenhour came into the Expo as a player I had called one of the most underrated in the state after leading New Covenant to a state championship last year, and he proved that with his stellar and unselfish play. He's got great size for a point guard and continues to grow every time I see him it seems like, he has a great IQ and makes great decisions, he can break down defenders using his tight handle to get in the paint and he can make shots efficiently from multiple levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2548279' first='Aaron' last='Pomrenke'] | 6'4” WF | Abingdon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548661,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage84xcyE.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage84xcyE.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548661" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pomrenke came all the way from SWVA to show us what he's got at the Expo, and he did not disappoint as he went right at guys and showed a great skillset that will translate to the collegiate level in a few years. At 6'4” he has good size and a good frame to go along with it, he is a knock down shooter from deep who doesn't need much space to get his shot off, he can attack and finish around the rim and he plays with great energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459400' first='Amir' last='Savage'] | 6'3” PG | St. Michael's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548660,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageyzw6Fs.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageyzw6Fs.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548660" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Savage is set to have a huge junior season in a very talented backcourt, and he showed at the Expo that he has been working and is ready to lead his talented St. Michael's team to a deep playoff run. Savage is a dynamic guard with great size who got downhill at will and scored it well in traffic, he's a big time athlete who can play above the rim, he's skilled off the bounce and can get to spots to score it and he is a great point of attack defender as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2548297' first='Gart' last='Heller'] | 6'6” PF | Powhatan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heller is an up and coming prospect in the Richmond area, and he showed at the Expo that while he's raw right now he has a lot of upside moving forward. Standing 6'6” with a strong build he's surprisingly mobile and can run the floor with his guards, he throws his weight around the paint to clear out space, he's a good rebounder and he has a lot of upside on the defensive end too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2459359' first='Jisaiah' last='Bryant'] | 6'5” WF | Liberty Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548659,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageolUVDx.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageolUVDx.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548659" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bryant was one of the most impressive performers at the Expo and showed that he's a player coaches should start contacting and tracking now, as he can impact the game in a lot of different ways. He has a college ready frame right now standing 6'5” with good strength in both his upper and lower body, he is an athletic finisher when he gets out in transition, he can break defenders down off the bounce, he is great posting smaller wings and he can knock down open shots as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
