Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
While he’ll be pursuing football at the next level, having committed to East Stroudsburg to play tight end, Buzalka deserves mention here for his versatile, high-IQ play at the helm of the Cumberland Valley offense. Playing as somewhat of a point-center, he facilitated from all over the floor while showcasing advanced court vision and useful passing craft. Defensively, while undersized for the frontcourt, Buzalka used his strength and sense of positioning to battle inside with a lengthier Coatesville lineup. The unorthodox forward went out more than admirably in what may have been his last organized basketball game.
