He is a reliable perimeter shooter who can score at multiple levels and is also a capable passer who sees the floor well. His athleticism was on full display with a powerful transition dunk that energized the gym. One of the state's top unsigned seniors, Schwartz has the production, versatility, and competitiveness to warrant serious college attention.     The high-academic senior wing displayed an impressive blend of size, skill, and feel for the game on his way to 18 points against Pensacola Catholic. Playing the best basketball of his career over the past couple of months, he has emerged as a steady and efficient presence on the floor. He is a very good passer who understands spacing and reads the game well, consistently making the right play. Offensively, he finishes effectively at the rim and is a capable open shot maker from the perimeter. His combination of intelligence, versatility, and late-season momentum makes him an intriguing prospect at the next level.     The junior forward possesses a unique combination of size, skill, and shot-making ability that makes him a difficult matchup. Rydzewski shows good hands and strong physicality, allowing him to establish deep position, seal defenders effectively, and finish consistently on the block. He moves well without the basketball, understands spacing, and finds opportunities to score within the flow of the offense. With his ability to produce inside and stretch the defense with perimeter touch, he continues to emerge as a versatile frontcourt prospect worth tracking closely.     Myles is a tough, hard-nosed wing who contributed nine points in the Eagles' victory while impacting the game in multiple areas.

He rebounds his position well from the perimeter and has emerged as the team's top on-ball defender, consistently taking on the toughest assignment. A capable open three-point shooter with a high motor and competitive edge, Myles is a 2027 prospect who continues to trend upward.     One of the state's premier perimeter shooters, Quebedeaux poured in 20 points, including four made three-pointers from beyond the arc. He possesses deep range on his jumper and is equally comfortable knocking down shots off the catch or creating space to rise up off the dribble. His confidence and shot preparation allow him to be a constant threat the moment he crosses half court. Beyond his shooting ability, he continues to improve as a driver, showing better balance and control attacking closeouts and finishing in the lane. As his off-the-bounce scoring develops, his overall offensive ceiling continues to rise.     A strong, athletic guard who consistently fills up the stat sheet, he impacts the game in a variety of ways on both ends of the floor.
