Another great friend to and an exceptional competitor, Harper Latham leaves The Hill School as one of the most accomplished track and field athletes in program history.

Harper currently holds The Hill School’s long jump record, has earned All-MAPL honors three times, captured multiple PAISAA State Championships, and has consistently ranked among the Top 20 long jumpers in Pennsylvania during the past two outdoor track seasons. Her accomplishments are the result of years of dedication, discipline, and a relentless commitment to her craft.

Correll Akings is one of the most accomplished student-athletes from the Class of 2026 that I’ve had the privilege of covering.

Few athletes have impacted their school in multiple sports the way Correll Akings has. A 4-year varsity letterman in both football and basketball, Correll built a legacy through consistency, leadership, and excellence.

On the football field, he was a 2-time First Team All-Conference selection, a 2-time Berks All-County performer, a 4-time BCFCA All-Academic Team member, and helped lead his team to two conference championships. He finished his career with an impressive 4,343 all-purpose yards and 40 touchdowns.

On the basketball court, Correll continued to shine as a 3-time BCIAA All-Star, 2-time Berks County Champion, and member of the exclusive 1,000-point club. Whether making plays on Friday nights or filling up the scoreboard during basketball season, he was a difference-maker every time he stepped on the floor.

His hard work and dedication have earned him the opportunity to continue his academic and athletic career at Shippensburg University, where he has committed to play football at the next level.

But beyond the stats and awards, Correll represented what it means to be a true student-athlete—competing at a high level, excelling in the classroom, and leading by example.

Congratulations on an incredible high school career. Thank you for allowing GMG to help tell part of your story. The next chapter is just getting started. 🏈🏀💪🏾

🎓❤️ Graduation season is here. Ethan Johnston is one of the many outstanding student-athletes from the Class of 2026 that I’ve had the privilege of covering.
From Queens, New York to the bright lights of The Hill School, Ethan Johnston has established himself as one of the premier basketball players in the country. A 1,000-point scorer, PAISAA State Champion, and Top-150 national recruit, Ethan’s journey has been fueled by talent, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
When The Hill needed a spark in the PAISAA Championship Game, Ethan delivered, scoring 13 of his 22 points in the third quarter and helping lead the Blues to their first state championship since 2018.
His accomplishments have earned him the opportunity to continue his academic and athletic career at Marquette University under Coach Shaka Smart. But what has always stood out most about Ethan is his team-first mentality, leadership, and desire to make those around him better. I’ve also appreciated the great friend he has been to my son over the years—a reflection of the character and loyalty that make him so respected by those around him.
It’s been an honor watching your growth both on and off the court. Congratulations on an incredible high school career. Marquette is getting a winner, and the best is still ahead.

2k is one of the many outstanding student-athletes from the Class of 2026 that I’ve had the privilege of covering.

Leo Brown’s story is a reminder that patience, perseverance, and hard work pay off. After spending years waiting for his opportunity, Leo exploded onto the scene in his first season as Exeter’s starting running back, rushing for a Berks County record 2,444 yards and 29 touchdowns. In the process, he broke a 42-year-old county record, earned All-State honors, and helped lead the Eagles to a 10-win season and a District 3 semifinal appearance.

What makes Leo’s journey even more impressive is that he was still learning the position. A former wide receiver with elite speed, he embraced the challenge, trusted the process, and turned himself into one of the most dominant players in Pennsylvania.

Now, he’ll continue his academic and athletic career at Kutztown University.

Congratulations on an incredible high school career, Leo. Thank you for allowing GMG to help tell part of your story. The best is yet to come. 🏈💪🏾
