<p><strong>Cumberland Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Crestin Austin | 6'4 F 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Austin was all over the place, making plays. He out-hustled everyone for 8 second-chance points. His energy kept going whether he had the ball or not, evidenced by his cut and his drives to the basket. Defensively, he was always around the ball, coming up with a couple turnovers on top of the boards. 18 points, 12 rebounds & 2 steals. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2391364' first='Nolan' last='Buzalka'] | 6'3 G/W 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pushed others around as a rebounder and CV's primary playmaker. He started out the game with defensive boards and by facilitating on offense. Then, up just 1 going into the third quarter, the two-sport athlete got even more aggressive, rumbling all the way to the rim for layups and getting a couple putbacks, and still kept the overall offense flowing. His 17 second-half points helped the Eagles out-score the Rams 41 to 20 in that stretch. 25 points, 18 boards & 7 assists</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2633131' first='Jared' last='Dolimpio'] | 6'1 G 2027</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Other than a big jam he threw down on a fastbreak, Dolimpio found the bottom of the net from beyond the arc. The first-year starter sank three catch-and-shoot treys, while making crucial defense that slowed down CDs perimeter scorers. 11 points & 3 steals </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427367' first='Aiden' last='Diehl'] (6'6 W 2027) pitched in 10 points too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Central Dauphin</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1454311' first='Jelani' last='Easter'] | 6'5 W 2026</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pacing the Rams offensively, Easter got capitalized on several transition opportunities. He dashed down the floor with his athleticism and his teammates fed him. And in the halfcourt, they got the ball to Easter with handoffs for a trio of threes and set him up to get downhill for quality attempts at the basket. 23 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists & steals. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1466625' first='Wayne' last='Fletcher II'] | 6'3 G 2025</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fletcher II couldn't get going on offense, but that didn't keep him from turning up on the other end. The Navy-commit created numerous splash plays, highlighted by a steal he took coast-to-coast. He also crashed the glass and altered shots. Fletcher II did manage to get to the cup off the catch and with a side-step three. 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals & 2 blocks.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2421234' first='Shakur' last='Starling'] (6'2 G 2027) chipped in 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. </p>
