Major Rainey Major Rainey 6'3" | SG Allderdice | 2024 State PA – 6’3″ Wing – Allderdice High School
An extremely athletic wing with the ability to score double digits on a nightly basis for his team. As a sophomore for Allderdice last season this young man continued to develop his game to prepare for this winter. Rainey is a natural rebounder with a knack for the ball on both sides and showcases excellent strength in the paint. Major likes to get out and run the floor in transition and has a soft touch around the rim to finish in the lane.
Joey Coyle Joey Coyle 6'0" | SG Quaker Valley | 2024 State PA – 6’1″ Shooting Guard – Quaker Valley High School
A fundamentally sound performer with a consistent jumper from the perimeter who likes to come off screens or just pull up in transition to knock down shots. He brings the overall hustle and work ethic to showcase his abilities on the offensive end of the floor. Joey will look to take the next step to be a leader for the Quakers this season coming off a WPIAL Championship.
Zach Kovell Zach Kovell 5'10" | PG Hopewell | 2025 State PA – 5’11” Shooting Guard – Hopewell High School
His freshman season was a breakout for him in a tough 4A section. One of his best performances came against Lincoln Park back in February. Zach will look to build on the freshman experience from last winter while looking to be a leader for Hopewell in the next few months. He will get a good amount of shot opportunities this upcoming high school season.
Mikey Crawford – 6’2″ Shooting Guard – Lincoln Park Charter High School
Transferred from Gateway to Lincoln Park this summer looking for a change of scenery. Crawford has flashed the ability to become one of the best scorers in the class of 2024 in Western PA while working on improving his three-point shot. He brings athleticism and quickness to both the offensive and defensive ends of the court.
Debaba Tshiebwe Debaba Tshiebwe 6'6" | PF Central Catholic | 2023 State PA – 6’6″ Power Forward – Central Catholic High School
Tshiebwe, the younger brother of Kentucky player Oscar Tshiebwe, has all of the physical tools to become a force inside at the next level. He is very raw but is one of the most physically-imposing players in the WPIAL. Has solid footwork down low and is improving his touch around the rim with thunderous dunks.
