Week 3 of the Fall Exposure League hosted by NEPA Hoops brought out some of the strongest performances we’ve seen yet.
From game-winning shots to breakout scoring nights and gritty defensive efforts, players across the league continued to raise the bar. Each week, the competition gets tougher — and these standouts made sure their impact was felt on the court.
Here are the athletes who stole the spotlight in Week 3.
Ayden Agapito (SF/PF, Team Lt. Blue)
After earning a spot on “Matt’s Week 3 Five to Watch,”Ayden Agapito delivered a standout performance for Team Light Blue.
The Crestwood senior carried momentum from Week 2, combining for 19 points, 14 rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a block. He dominated the glass with 11 boards in a nine-point loss to Team Grey.
Agapito made his mark immediately in Week 3, torching Team Green for 23 points and leading Team Light Blue to a 23 point win.
He wasn’t just scoring — he added 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal, showcasing his all-around impact.
While his perimeter game was limited in Week 2, Agapito drained 4 three-pointers in the rout, hinting at a growing offensive arsenal.
He followed up his impressive start by adding 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists in a 13 point loss to Team Yellow.
Known for his tenacious defense, Agapito brings a complete two-way skillset to the floor. Playing even bigger than his 6’5” frame, he has the versatility to switch 1-5 and anchor Team Light Blue’s defense.
With his blend of defensive dominance and an expanding offensive arsenal, Agapito looks to be one of Week 4’s most impactful performers.
Logan Fanning (C/Team Grey)
Another week, another dominant result for Logan Fanning — and another Standout honor.
Team Grey entered the morning with an overall record of 3-1, much of their success credited to the Old Forge senior’s dominance inside. Across Week 2’s contests, Fanning totaled 32 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 8 blocks.
He poured in 20 points and recorded a 6 blocks against Team Yellow — a single game league-high, powering Team Grey to a 22-point victory in Week 2.
After tying for 6th for overall defensive impact (REB, STL, BLK) in Week 1, Fanning took 1st place in this category in Week 2 with a DI score of 21.
The center also tied for 5th place on Week 2’s scoring leaderboard.
In Week 3, Fanning continued to be a vital interior anchor for Team Grey. He scored 12 points and pulled down 13 rebounds while adding 4 assists and 3 blocks in a close 6 point win against Team Purple.
Fanning stuffed the stat sheet again in Team Grey’s 65-55 win over Team Red — recording 7 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks.
Fanning sets the tone every week for Team Grey — altering shots, controlling the glass, and scoring efficiently around the basket.
He’s the kind of interior force that changes the game before it even starts.
Pat Flanagan (SF/PF, Team Lt. Blue)
Even with a midseason switch from Light Blue to Purple and then back to Light Blue, Pat Flanagan reminded everyone why District 2 basketball should be on alert this winter.
The Dallas junior earned his first standout honors of the FXL after going unrecognized through the first two weeks. But his impact was felt early.
While he wasn’t a standout in Week 1, Flanagan still came through in a big way for Team Light Blue. The 6’4″ junior ranked 1st in overall defensive impact (REB, STL, BLK) with a score of 21.
Perhaps the change back to Team Light Blue exactly what Flanagan needed.
Flanagan controlled inside the arc — converting 8 two point field goals — in a 23 point win against Team Green. The junior forward tallied 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists in the victory. Active on the defensive end, Flanagan recorded 2 steals and 3 blocks as well.
In his second game for Team Light Blue, Flanagan totaled 14 points and added 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Flanagan plays explosive with seemingly unlimited energy and uses his large 6’4″ frame to his advantage on both the offensive and defensive ends.
Add in his court vision and unselfish play, Flanagan turns every possession into a scoring opportunity for his team.
Xaivier Jackson (SG/SF, Team Grey)
Whether he’s finishing off a dunk on a fast break or he’s making the right pass for a corner three, Xavier Jackson has been a steady force for Team Grey throughout the FXL.
With this Week 3 selection, the 6’4″ junior from Selinsgrove has now earned at least an honorable mention through the first three weeks of the FXL — two Standout honors, one honorable mention (Week 1).
Jackson ranked 12th in scoring in both Week 1 (13.5 PPG) and Week 2 (12.5 PPG). He also placed 2nd in overall defensive impact (REB, STL, BLK) for Week 2.
Jackson led Team Grey to a perfect 2-0 day in Week 2, beating Team Light Blue and Team Yellow. He delivered two all-around games for Team Grey — first recording 9 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block against Team Yellow.
He notched a double-double in the win versus Team Light Blue, recording 16 points and 11 rebounds with 3 assists and 1 block.
Week 3 was no different for Jackson, continuing to elevate his stock with strong performances.
Jackson matched fellow Week 3 standout Trey Keating with 16 points, leading the way for Team Grey in a 73-67 win over Team Purple. He also grabbed 4 rebounds and added an assist and a steal.
The junior guard followed up that outing with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block against Team Red — a 65-55 win.
Jackson’s ability to rebound at a high level and initiate the offense make him a reliable two-way presence for Team Grey.
Every week, he proves why his name belongs on the standout list.
David Jannuzzi (CG/Team Dark Blue)
After going unrecognized in Week 1, David Jannuzzi has now earned standout honors in back-to-back weeks — helping Team Dark Blue climb to 5-1 through three weeks of play.
The Wilkes-Barre Area senior erupted offensively in Week 2, tying for 5th place on the scoring leaderboard at 16 points per game.
In a narrow overtime loss to Team Purple, he connected on 8 field goals — including 3 from beyond the arc — en route to 21 points, while also pulling in 6 rebounds and dishing out 5 assists.
Jannuzzi kept the momentum rolling in a 21-point win over Team Green, contributing 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists to round out a strong two-game stretch.
Week 3 brought more of the same. The senior guard tied Trey Keating for 9th on the scoring leaderboard (16.5 PPG).
Jannuzzi racked up 16 points and 5 assists in Team Dark Blue’s 20-point win against Team Red. He tacked on 1 assist and 1 steal in the blowout.
Jannuzzi registered his first double-double during league play — logging 17 points and 10 assists in Team Dark Blue’s 11-point win over Team Pink. Jannuzzi coupled that with 4 rebounds and 1 steal.
At just 5’8″, the senior guard has proven he can impact the game in countless ways.
From creating his own shot to setting up teammates to locking in on defense, Jannuzzi has quietely become one of the most complete players in the league.
Trey Keating (SG, Team Grey)
You don’t want to lose sight of Trey Keating in the clutch. Team Purple found that out the hard way last weekend.
The senior from Nativity BVM tied for 6th in scoring in Week 1 of the FLX, averaging 15 points over two contests — earning him standout honors.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Keating was unavailable for Week 2, Keating showed in his debut that he’s a force to be reckoned with. He was dominant in Week 1 of the league, scoring 30 combined points — leading Team Grey to a 1-1 start.
Fast-forward to Week 3, Keating once again broke into the top 15 scorers — this time tied for 9th with 16.5 PPG.
The 6’2″ guard drained 4 three-pointers en route to 16 points against Team Purple. Keating added 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the victory.
With under two minutes to go in a tight game, Keating delivered with back-to-back dagger three-pointers to seal the win for Team Grey.
The second game of the day saw Team Grey fending off Team Red by 10 points with Keating tallying 17 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal. Keating connected on three of his three-point shot attempts.
Primarily a three-point specialist, Keating has the confidence and clutch gene to swing momentum in an instant.
On a loaded Team Grey roster, he’s the type of shooter than can be the difference between a win and a loss.
Cam Parker (SG/SF, Team Pink)
Logan Fanning wasn’t the only Old Forge star to earn Standout honors in Week 3 — Cam Parker joins his teammate on this week’s list.
The 5’11” senior has been quietly flying under the radar in the previous two weeks — his name not showing up in any of the leaderboards.
But make no mistake about it, Parker is the real deal.
In Week 2, he combined for 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 steal during two rough losses for Team Pink before turning it up a notch in Week 3.
Parker finished tied for 7th on the scoring leaderboard for Week 3 with 17 PPG.
The Old Forge guard displayed his versatility in Team Pink’s win over Team Green — dropping 18 points and 3 steals. Parker also snatched 3 rebounds and recorded 1 assist.
In a 11-point loss to a very talented Dark Blue team, Parker notched 16 points with 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal.
A true two-way guard, Parker can score at all three levels and defend multiple positions.
With his steady production and growing confidence, he’s proving to be one of Team Pink’s most valuable pieces moving forward.
Jordan Shaffer (SG/SF, Team Dark Blue)
Like Agapito, Shaffer was featured on “Matt’s Week 3 Five to Watch” — and he more than lived up to the spotlight.
The Abington Heights forward pieced together two solid outings in Week 2 for Team Dark Blue. In his first game against Team Purple — a 6 point OT loss, Shaffer totaled 12 points with 4 blocks. He followed that up by adding 15 points and 7 rebounds — leading Team Dark Blue to a 78-57 win over Team Green.
Arguably, the 6’4″ forward was the MVP of Week 3 of the FXL.
Shaffer crossed the 20 point mark for the first time against Team Red, scoring 21 points with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal — connecting on 3 three-pointers. His performance secured the win for Team Dark Blue over Team Red.
If Shaffer went on to put up a modest game to finish Week 3, he likely would have been an honorable mention — he had other ideas.
Once again leading Team Dark Blue to a win, Shaffer dropped 25 points and 17 rebounds against Team Pink. His 17 rebounds are a single-game league high. He remained physical on the defensive end of the floor, recording 1 steal and 3 blocks.
When the dust settled, Shaffer stood atop the Week 3 scoring leaderboard at 23 points per game.
Physical at the rim and efficient at the stripe, Shaffer’s size and scoring touch make him a matchup nightmare heading into next week’s contests.
Isaac Shrager (CG, Team Yellow)
Safe to say Team Yellow has no shortage of scoring — and Isaac Shrager has proven himself to be one of the squad’s most reliable weapons.
The senior from N. Valley-Old Tappan captured his first official standout honors of the league after earning an honorable mention in Week 2. He ranked 7th on Week 2’s scoring leaderboard, averaging 14. 5 PPG for Team Yellow over two games.
Shrager knocked down four triples on his way to 16 points, 3 rebounds, and a steal in a tough 22-point loss to Team Grey. He followed that up with 13 rebounds, 4 rebounds, an assist, and a block in a bounce-back win over Team Pink — sinking three more threes to bring his day total to seven.
Highlighted in “Matt’s Week 3 Five to Watch,” Shrager lived up to the billing. He tied for 3rd in the Week 3 scoring leaderboard with 18.5 points per game, continuing to show why he’s one of the league’s most dangerous scorers.
He opened the week with 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in Team Yellow’s 87–74 win over Team Light Blue, then sealed his standout status by dropping 20 points (including two threes), 4 rebounds, and a steal in a hard-fought matchup with Team Purple.
Through three weeks, Shrager has quickly made a name for himself as one of the league’s premier three-point threats.
With his confidence from long range and ability to score in bunches, Shrager keeps defenders on their heels every possession.
Bring an umbrella with you next Sunday — it’s going to be raining threes, again.
Dylan Stish (SG/SF, Team Yellow)
After making the inaugural FXL standout list in Week 1, Dylan Stish has once again made his presence felt with a pair of big-time performances for Team Yellow.
A senior from Hazleton Area, Stish has been putting on a clinic in the beginning weeks of the league. He placed 2nd and 4th on the scoring leaderboard in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively.
Stish also found himself ranked 3rd on the overall defensive impact (REB, STL, BLK) leaderboard for Week 1.
In Week 2, the 6’2″ guard/forward knocked down three three-pointers as part of his 17-point performance against Team Grey, adding five rebounds, a steal, and a block in the loss.
Stish led Team Yellow in scoring with his 19 points in their 20-point win over Team Pink — advancing to 3-1 at the end of two weeks.
In a 13-point win over Team Light Blue to start Week 3, Stish delivered with a massive double-double — 23 points and 10 rebounds. He buried three triples and blocked a shot in the win.
Even in Team Yellow’s 10-point loss to Team Purple, Stish remained a steady contributor, finishing with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal.
Among clearing the boards and knocking down three-pointers, Stish has cemented himself as one of the league’s most reliable all-around players.
