EST Boys Top 10 and The Best of The Rest; Week of 1/25

Just a friendly reminder - this list includes people who played in last year's Empire State Takeover summer league and/or fall event, and only those people. I am not sports media; I run basketball leagues and events. I'm showing love to the kids & families that have shown love to EST and participated. If you're unhappy about not being listed, and you didn't play in EST, my advice is to ask about participating this summer (if you have remaining high school eligibility or will be doing a post-grad prep year). 


10.) Devin Boyle (6'0" G; Johnstown 2016) - All-EST 2nd Teamer knocked down 6 threes, finishing with a game high 26 points, in last Friday's 60-58 overtime L to rival Gloversville.

9.) Kevin Murray (6'3" G; Plattsburgh Seton Catholic 2017) - Murray continued his strong play from the previous week in their one game over last week, finishing with a game high 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists in their 86-57 W.

8.) Joe Werner (6'5" F; Ichabod Crane 2017) - Big game on Friday for Werner, who pumped in a game and season high 26 points in their 56-51 overtime W over CCHS.

7.) Jack Spencer (6'3" F; Rhinebeck 2017) - Another one who continued off some strong play the previous week, Spencer came through with a game high 32 points & 17 rebounds in their 71-61 W on Friday.

6.) Chris Boucher (6'1" G; Fort Edward 2016) - Boucher dropped a game high 48 points on Friday, including 10 threes, on their senior night - resulting in a blowout 88-66 W over Argyle.

5.) Kobe Lufkin (5'9" G; Argyle 2017) - Along with scoring a team high 24 in their 88-66 L to Fort Edward Friday, the All-EST Honorable Mention scored a game high 37 points - including 5 threes and a 12/16 night from the line - in a 65-60 victory Wednesday.

4.) Andrew Sischo (6'9" F; Guilderland 2016, Daemen 2020) - The inaugural Empire State Takeover MVP dropped 20 points & 15 rebounds in a 76-65 setback to Albany Academy Wednesday, then followed it up with 20 & 13 in a 56-33 W on Friday.

3.) Louden Porter (5'10" G; Canton 2017) - North Country standout pumped in 51 points over 2 games in back-to-back days - a game high 23 points, 10 coming in the 1st quarter, in a 58-57 W Monday, followed by a game high 28 points in a 57-32 W Tuesday.

2.) Joseph Girard III (6'0" G; Glens Falls 2019) - It was a milestone week for the All-EST 1st Teamer. Starting the week at 953 career points, he got all 47 in one shot - a game high scoring performance, which included 8 threes and a 13/15 FT performance, in a 81-77 2OT victory over rival South Glens Falls. He followed it up with 35 points Friday, another game high with another strong night from the line (16/18), in a 75-65 W.

1.) Tyler Bertram (6'1" G; Cooperstown 2018) - Big week for Bertram, who was the automatic #1 pick by my placement system (see top of last week's posts about that) because he was the only one to pump in 3 deserving performances over the week. He scored a game high 24 points along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists in a 80-60 L Monday. The All-EST Honorable Mention pick followed it up with a game high 35 points (11/16 FG), 8 rebounds, 8 assists, and 7 steals in their 86-59 W over Herkimer, previously ranked in the state's Top 10 Class C schools.
