Fischer, a three-year starter for the Blue Jays, averaged 17.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game in his senior season.

Fischer is the first boys player from Jamestown to play in the All-Star Series since Landon Rachel in 2008.

Mr. Basketball winner Melvin Langstaff and Linton-Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock’s Tanner Purintun are also on the team. Langstaff was the state’s top scorer last season, averaging a whopping 38.4 points per game.

Purintun, who has signed to play at the University of Mary next season, averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game for the Lions, who placed seventh at the Class B state tournament in March.
