H/W/S Tournament Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>February is almost here, meaning county tournament time is about to get into full swing. The H/W/S tournament has the potential to be an extremely entertaining conference tournament with prospects slated to have big tournaments. Here are the H/W/S tournament prospects to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421322' first='Matt' last='Scerbo'], 6'2 SG Phillipsburg 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scerbo has been filling up the stat sheet all season long for the Stateliners and should continue to do so in the county tournament. The Lafayette football commit attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Scerbo has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He makes smart decisions with the ball in his hands and has the length to defend both backcourt spots. Scerbo does a little bit of everything for Phillipsburg and his versatility will help them make a deep run in this postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gavin Solano, PG Wallkill Valley 2027</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solano has been on a tear recently and is looking to continue that streak over the next couple of weeks. He has a good first step, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and finishes nicely around the basket. Solano can also score in the mid-range and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He moves well without the ball in his hands and uses his quick hands to get deflections on the defensive end. Solano is averaging 25 points per game over his last two games and is looking to continue that hot streak in the county tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943564' first='Alex' last='Fessel'], SG Vernon 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fessel has been lighting up the scoreboard all season long as he has multiple 30-point games. He has a clean release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Fessel is more than just a shooter as he has a good handle and finishes nicely around the basket. He has a good touch in the mid-range and finds his open teammates. Fessel is a high-scoring guard prospect who is looking to take Vernon back to the H/W/S Tournament final.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107864' first='Eric' last='Klemmer'], 6'5 PF Delaware Valley 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klemmer has been a force down low for the Terriers all season and is looking to continue that in the county tournament.The 6'5 forward uses his strong frame to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. Klemmer is unafraid of drawing contact and rarely forces shots around the basket. He is a strong rebounder and uses his instincts to swat shots around the basket. Klemmer has four double-doubles this season and should have more games like that over the next couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dean Schaefer, G Warren Hills 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schaefer has been a big part of the Blue Streaks three-game winning streak as he's averaging nearly 18 points per game in the streak. He has a good shooting stroke and sets his feet before he shoots. Schaefer moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He is a solid rebounder and is an underrated defender. Schaefer is getting hot at the right time for Warren Hills as he's looking to end his varsity career on a high note.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Watch:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Robby Cassavell, G Voorhees 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342686' first='Troy' last='Strelec'], 6'5 PF Hackettstown 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1981565' first='Wes' last='Shirk'], 6'5 PF Hunterdon Central 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390429' first='Bryce' last='Higgins'], 6'3 SF North Hunterdon 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2554021' first='Le-Shem' last='Little'], 6'0 PG Sparta 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
