Problem Child: Jake Hall headlines the FTH All-Freshman Team

It was a season to remember for Carlsbad freshman guard Jake Hall.

The 6-2 guard scored 733 points - including three games with over 35 points - won a slew of all-tournament awards during the nonleague season, was named to the All Coastal NC League First Team and of course, led his team to the CIF Division 1 crown, the Lancers second title in three years.

At his current pace, Hall could finish his career as a top-five scorer in San Diego history.

Hall is unquestionably the Full-Time Hoops Freshman of the Year.

His dominance, however, should not overshadow rest of this year's class, which made a big splash on the varsity scene. The 2025 group includes two all-league first-team selections, three second-team selections, several honorable mention players and several more who won individual player of the game honors throughout the season.
