Here are the top standouts from the day:
2023 6-0 G Justin Kruszewski – East Lake
Justin Kruszewski is one of the most lethal 3-point shooters in the entire state of Florida. He hit four of his five 3’s in the opening half in a win over Bradenton Christian, as he finished with a team-best 27 points. Kruszewski has averaged just around 19 PPG for East Lake, who ends the fall league a perfect 6-0. He is in for a major senior campaign as the lead scorer alongside a well-formed unit.
2024 6-6 G Ace Taylor – Calvary Christian
Each week, it is really a pick-your-poison situation with 2024 guard duo Ace Taylor and 6-0 Daniel MacGregor for Calvary Christian. Taylor added 21 points in the scrappy win over Gibbs and he used his long arms to score inside and grab rebounds often. MacGregor did his usual work with 25 points, driving down low and finishing and playing tough-nosed transition offense.
2025 6-1 G Mathis Roberts – Gibbs
Mathis Roberts has shown flashes all fall league long, but on Saturday, he was determined as ever. Dropping 28 points in an 8-point loss to Calvary Christian, he was everywhere on the floor. Roberts finished inside, drew contact and was connecting on long-range shots. He is super talented.
2024 6-2 G Lorenzo Cason – Victory Christian
Victory Christian made its debut at the fall league and it was very memorable. Tied at 42 at the break against St. Pete, it was 2024 guard Lorenzo Cason (20 points) who put his team on his back. He is hard to slow down defensively with his mix of speed and strength. Cason has a plethora of Division I offers (VCU, Jacksonville State, High Point, UT Chattoonoga and more) for a reason and he is playing with endless confidence.
—Alongside Cason, is another steady presence out of the backcourt in 2024 6-0 guard Mike Andino. Recording 17 points, he can shoot from anywhere on the floor and his ballhandling skills are seasoned.
2023 6-0 Aaron Barton – Southeast
One of the steadiest bucket getters in the fall league, 2023 Southeast guard Aaron Barton dropped his third 25-point outing in six games. Averaging just around 21 PPG, he continues to be crafty at the point of attack and strong when finishing lay-ins. A stellar athlete, Barton is the No. 1 option for his team.
2025 5-11 G Sian Morris – North Tampa Christian
North Tampa Christian fought to the final moment against a fast-paced Southeast squad. 2025 5-11 guard Sian Morris emerged in this matchup with 17 points as he went to the rack a ton and hit some well-timed jumpers.
—2026 6-9 forward Toni Bryant (13 points) was rock solid, cleaning up misses with slams, grabbing boards and serving as a defensive stalworth.
2023 6-1 G Sam Duckworth – St. Pete
Attacking the basket was in the cards for Sam Duckworth against Victory Christian. The 2023 big guard drove to the left side of the cup in bunches as he tacked on a team-high 14 points in the loss. He is a very strong downhill attacker.
—2023 6-6 forward Dylan Kramer (16 points) and 2023 5-11 guard Quez Curry (11 points) both had bright moments for St. Pete in the game.
2023 6-3 G Kobie White – Countryside
One of three double-digit scorers for Countryside, 2023 guard Kobie White (13 points) was in full control of the offense against Admiral Farragut. His jump shot is smooth and he plays with purpose.
2025 6-1 G Talon Brooks – Admiral Farragut
2025 guard Talon Brooks (15 points) continues to be the craftiest player on this young Admiral Farragut. He stepped up when his number was called with lay-ins against Countryside.
2024 6-3 G Nick Garrison – Largo
The jumpers were falling for Nick Garrison against Clearwater. The 2024 guard is a leader for his side and proved it again by netting 11 points.
2026 6-4 F Sam Roseborough – Clearwater
Clearwater keeps battling and 2026 forward Sam Roseborough emerged this week as an intriguing prospect. He had eight points in a loss to Largo and drove to the basket with a plan.
