Hopewell’s Christian Fischer Continues to Develop, Becoming Big Part of Vikings Basketball Future

404

Slowly but surely, the Hopewell Boys basketball program is starting to develop talent and depth within the youth programs.

The Vikings High School team will not only be competitive over the next few seasons, but they’ll win a lot of games, eventually compete for section titles and possibly trophies.

However, for the program to truly develop, Coach Biega will need layers of talent that he can count on and get on the court.

One player to keep an eye on in that regard is 8th grader Christian Fischer.

Over the last couple of seasons, Fischer has developed as much as any player in Hopewell’s system. Christian’s biggest strength is his size and athleticism around the basket, both offensively and defensively.

In his games, Fischer is a mismatch for opponents because of his size and wingspan. However, as he gets older, other teams will have players to match Fischer’s size so that’s where the coaching he’ll be receiving over the upcoming years with Junior High HC Patrick Phillips and Varsity HC Doug Biega will be crucial to his development.

One of the reasons Fischer has gotten better is because of his passion for basketball and the time he’s putting in aside from working with the Hopewell Vikings program.

Fischer competed this season for the first time with the Concrete Jungle Courts program, which is a basketball organization located at Brady’s Run Park since 2020. Players from all over the Pittsburgh area travel to Beaver County to compete in this two-month program.

Fischer not only participated in this league but exceled. At their recently concluded All-Star game, Fischer was named MVP of the game after collecting 14 pints, 10 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

Nice job Christian!!
