Outlook:
“Wissahickon boys’ basketball team is rebuilding after a run in 2018 that took them to the semifinals at Temple and into the state playoffs. The Trojans are fortunate in this rebuilding process in the fact that they return three talented players and a host of young skilled players. Eddie Fortescue (6’), and Cole Hirsch (6’2”) are two senior starting guards that were impactful players last year, and Carmen Ostroski (6’4”) is a versatile wing that has transitioned from sixth man to a more impactful starting role this offseason. Ostroski has the ability to play from the point to the center position, and he has a silky touch from behind the 3-point line. Fortescue is a player with an endless motor, and he is impressive at both ends of the court.
“Filling out the roster are two talented senior forwards in Tyler Caso (6’3”) and Maurice Willis (6’5”) and multiple underclassmen guards like Harrison Williams, Matt Compas, Andrew Buck, D’Shan Love, Justin Rappaport, Alex Richman, and Jackson Intrieri.
“The team hopes to be competitive in a tough conference that matches them up against the tough teams of PW and new conference foe Abington.”
