BOYS 5A FINAL β 8:00PM ποΈ
Game 3 of our Friday Tripleheader.
Prime time at Mohegan Arena.
#2 Crestwood vs. #1 Abington Heights
π 8:00 PM
π§ Listen Live: https://t.co/PvW9zPAfzw
Abington Heights is chasing a fourth straight District 2 title.
Crestwood hasnβt won the championship since 2021 β when they were awarded the title via forfeit after COVID protocols left Abington Heights without enough eligible players following the semifinal.
This time? No circumstances. No asterisks.
Just head-to-head for the 2026 crown.
Crestwood is led by senior Ayden Agapito (@aydenagapito25), alongside freshman Miles Metz (@MilesMetz29), senior Connor Wagaman, and Gio Barna β a group that can score in bunches and pressure defensively.
Abington Heights & @JokerCat12 counters with senior leaders Jordan Shaffer (@jordanshaffer) and Andrew Kettel (@andrew_kettel14), supported by senior Finn Goldberg and sophomore Cooper Manning, plus a deep, experienced rotation thatβs been here before.
History. Redemption. A four-peat on the line.

π 2026 6β4β SG/SF @JordanShaffer0 (@AHCometsBBB) spaced the floor with his range this weekend, hitting shots off movement and punishing closeouts with strong drives. He rebounded well and flashed his length as an underrated shot blocker. Big piece heading into AC.
π 2026 5β11β CG Andrew Kettel (@andrew_kettel14) of @AHCometsBBB / 17U HGSL Dempsey is a dynamic, aggressive point guard who puts constant pressure on the defense. Loves to play fast, gets others involved, and continues to grow as a reliable 3-point shooter.
