Kiyan Anthony missed much of the early season due to injury, but returned in January. He made his presence felt, winning game MVP honors during the Hoophall Classic where Long Island Lutheran defeated AZ Compass Prep, 63-57. This performance came after he was snubbed from the McDonald's All-American Game.

Kiyan once again shined and showed he could lead a championship team, winning the Throne Hoops National Championship for LuHi and beating a strong Eagles team in the final.
