Paschall, a 6-6 star who can shoot from the outside, as well and go to the basketball, led the Eagles to a 5-4 record despite missing two games, both of which Dobbs Ferry lost. He has averaged 11 rebounds a game and has blocked 14 shots while handing out three assists per game.

Paschall helped lead the Eagles to the Section 1 Class C championship as a sophomore last year and is rated as one of the top juniors in the state by several publications.

The sharp-shooting guard, who has scored in double figures in all seven of his starts, scored a season-high 33 points in a loss to Albertus Magnus and 30 points each in victories against Irvington and Riverside (Yonkers). Paschall made 54 of 77, or 70 percent, of his free throws in December.
