216 to 206…The fact that Harken moved up our Class of 2025 rankings after the 2024-25 season should not be a surprise. This winter Harken (RIT commit) posted a school record 51-burger (3 threes) as well as a couple 30 pieces and was a 1^st Team All-PAC selection. Harken is an explosive scorer with a jump shot that is accurate from anywhere on the floor. His ability to score off the dribble via pull ups, runners and floaters makes him extremely difficult to guard. Harken’s change of speed dribble moves and ability to convert through contact enable him to score at the rim in traffic. His court vision and unselfish nature make Harken a creative passer.     

No one should be surprised that Harken is being highlighted in a post about explosive scoring efforts as earlier this season he posted a school record 51-burger (3 threes). Harken’s most recent scoring outburst was a 32-point performance during PV’s upset of PAC rival Methacton. In that contest Harken (RIT commit) did the bulk of his scoring from inside the arc via mid-range jumpers, runners and lay-ins. Harken’s change of speed dribble moves and ability to convert through contact were impressive. He sprinkled in two made threes as well.  

A great deal of PV’s scoring punch from 2023-24 was lost to graduation. So, most hoop heads thought the Vikings would struggle to put points on the scoreboard this season. But Harken (RIT Commit) had stepped in and filled the void nicely. Last night during PV’s win over Norristown, this high IQ and versatile prospect with an accurate jump shot poured in a school record 51 points. Harken’s ability to get to the rim off the dribble was on full display. He also hit a number of stop-n-pop jumpers. Harken splashed from deep too, as he popped 3 threes. His 15 of 20 shooting from the free throw line was impressive as well.
