Mennonite’s top scorer on the night, Hurst did all he could in a valiant effort to help keep hopes of extending the season alive. He eased his way into the game, but picked up steam as things went on en route to a game-high 16 points. Hurst got going as a spotup shooter, but would go on to show his craft and toughness as a scorer off the dribble despite a lack of overwhelming burst or athleticism. He also showed himself to be a gritty defender on the other end. With an older brother starring at nearby Lancaster Bible College (D3) after setting Mennonite’s career scoring mark, Hurst looks primed to follow in his footsteps with a successful small-college career when his time comes.

The first item that jumps out when watching Hurst is that he is a shutdown defender. His non-stop motor, athleticism and instincts enable Hurst to face guard an opponent’s No. 1 option for 94-feet. When he is the on-ball defender, Hurst’s active hands and quick lateral movements enable him to pick pockets frequently. On offense, Hurst (14 ppg.) is a versatile guard who can operate as a pass-first floor general or slide off ball and score at every level. In 2024-25 Hurst netted as season high 25 points (2 threes) against. Annville-Cleona. Hurst also posted 15 points in LM’s 4A 1^st round win over Lansdale Catholic.
