Syncere Matthews is a freshman starter this season for the Blue Raiders. Syncere is 3rd on the team in scoring with 131 total points. Syncere has had a handful of games this season where she kept the Blue Raiders in the game. Syncere also has 33 steals to go along with her points, and ball handling ability as one of top ball handlers. This takes some pressure off Sophomore phenom Addie Huber who at times has been double teamed or faced guarded. Syncere has 55 rebounds this season, and for her stature that is quite impressive. Sometimes we do need to remind Syncere, who most times is one of the smallest on the court, to settle for a jump shot instead of her wanting to take on the "trees" on a drive. Where Syncere lacks in size she makes up with her toughness, and big heart.

With 11 points per game average and a 33% three-point average, Tyson Leach, Class of 24, perfectly embodies the mental and physical toughness it takes to play varsity basketball at Middletown. As team captain, Leach had 28 steals, averaged four rebounds per game and shot a 67% at the foul line. Leach has shown steady leadership in the heart of the season through ups and downs. He has helped to guide the team to a 12-10 record after beginning the season with a roster devoid of varsity experience.

Mason Blazer, Class of ’24, helped lead his team to a 6-2 record in the final 8 games of 2022. Blazer averaged 19.4 points per game, 7.3 rebounds per game, 11 three-point field goals, and a 52% field goal average (57/108). He also clinched a victory on December 16, 2022 against Camp Hill with a shot at the buzzer that cleared the bench. You can view that exciting moment HERE.

Jayla Koser, Class of 2026, is only a freshman and is leading the 2022-23 girls' basketball team in scoring, rebounds, and steals. Jayla can play inside and score with her great moves to get her defenders moving every which way, or she can pull up for a three. Jayla's versatility makes it very difficult for opposing coaches to choose a player to match up against her. With this being only her freshman season, the Division will be seeing a lot of her for the next four years. Jayla also keeps her teammates entertained as she once famously asked, "Is the Hershey Tournament home?"

TRAVIS KRAMER, Class of ’23, is a 3-year Cross Country participant. He was selected as a team captain this season as a result of his tremendous work ethic, leadership skills and coachability. Travis has been an invaluable mentor for the younger runners on the team. He was the team’s top male runner all season, improving his initial race time of 22:58 to his season Personal Record of 18:55. His hard work and dedication earned him a spot as the 10th individual male qualifier for the District III championship run on October 29, 2022 in Newville. Congratulations to Travis!

LENA EMIGH, Class of ’23, was forced into playing #1 after playing doubles last year. She has stepped up her game going 10-8 and has been competitive in all of her matches. In addition, Lena finished second in the #1 singles taking the silver medal and qualified for district singles. She also qualified for District doubles with Katie Yoder taking the silver medal finishing second. Lena is a good captain/leader on the court and in the classroom as well. She has a great never give up attitude that has helped her with her success this year. I will miss her never give up attitude next year.
~ Coach Lynn Miller ~
KATIE YODER, Class of ’23, has stepped up to the challenge of playing #2 singles. Her confidence and competitiveness have transferred into a 10-7 record. Katie qualified for District doubles with Lena Emigh and captured the silver medal finishing second. She is a good leader/captain on the court and in the classroom. Katie has been a good role model for the younger players and has helped them improve their game. I will miss her confidence next year.

WILL FULMER, Class of 2023, was the statistical leader of the golf team. Will is humble, exhibits GREAT character, and is a silent leader. He was voted as one of the captains by his teammates and did the LITTLE THINGS to make our team a winner. He was the main reason we had a successful season with a 35 and 7 record! He also advanced to the District 3 Championship which makes him the first player in about ten years to accomplish that feat.

ADDISON HUBER, Class of 2025, is my most versatile player transitioning roles from Outside Hitter to Setter. With a couple games left in our regular season, she has racked up 215 assists, 127 digs, 58 kills, and 42 aces with 2.13 passing rating. As a Sophomore, Addison works extremely hard both offensively and defensively and has been a major contributor in our success and ability to make post-season.
