Player Standouts at Hoopstate Fall League Championship
6’5 ’26 Markus Kerr (Cougars) Although the Cougars were missing one of their key pieces, it simply gave Kerr an opportunity to shine as a focal point. He’s a skilled, athletic guard with an all-around skillset and the ability to dominate opponents on both ends of the floor. Kerr is a reliable creator, both for himself and others, and mixes it up from all three levels offensively. He’s a quality...

Three Notable Performers from Hoopsate Fall League
6’4 ’25 Matija Moravcevic (The Burlington School) Given the general value of three-point shooting, someone like Moravcevic should be a major target for various college coaches.

Moravcevic can make the extra pass and attack closeouts as needed, but knows his strength as a spot-up...
