Here, we move through the Hudson Valley, looking through juniors who deserve a statewide rank but do as much exposure as other Big Apple stars.
Charlie Randall | Marmoneck
So far for Marmoneck, Charlie Randall has been everything you can ask for in a center. Randall can play in the paint, backing down defenders while intimidating offenders on the defensive end. Randall also provides tremendous shooting value, being able to space the floor from the corner while also going middle and directing offense from the foul line.
Sean Quin | Albertus Magnus
Sean Quin has demonstrated his versatility all over the court. He is long enough and athletic enough to guard positions one to five, while on offense, he is able to both drive to the rim and lead the offense, while also taking a backdoor route as an off-ball shooter.
James Swenson | Bronxville
Looking at James Swenson’s game, one might only wonder if there is anything Swenson can’t do. Swenson has demonstrated speed, athleticism, and hustle on a gameday basis. He proved he can be the playmaker and make the passes to set up his teammates in the right place, while he can take the ball to the rim himself.
Alex Vollbreath | Rye
Alex Vollbreath has preformed exceptionally as a guard this year, demonstrating skill on both ends of the floor. Vollbreath has been steller on the perimeter defense, knowing when to put pressure, stop ball, and leap out for the interception. Vollbreath has also shown aptitude for going to the rim, knowing how to work around defenders and still successfully finish.
CJ Tummings | Harrison
Speed and strength. Those are the pillars that hold up CJ Tummings’s game. Tummings is able to be fast enough and yet strong enough to be active on defensive switches and more versatile on defense, while he is able to command defensive mistakes and turn them into fastbreak points.
Carter Falkenberg | Westlake
Carter Falkenberg has shown that he deserves at least moderate college interest this season, Falkenberg has demonstrated a jumper that is dangerous from anywhere on the court, and doesn’t get fatigued after a few shots and can last into late game. His speed and playmaking allow him to be the ideal guard, leading the offense on both slow drives and fastbreaks.
