<p>The Covid-19 pauses for the Penn Charter and SCHA basketball programs are now over. Thus the Inter Ac basketball schedule is at full strength and that means a slew of prospects were able to get out on the court recently and put in outstanding performances.</p>
<p>Prep Hoops is here to highlight those performances in southeastern Pennsylvania’s Inter-Ac League.</p>
<p><strong>Isaiah Boyd</strong> <strong>– </strong><strong>6’3” / Junior / Haverford School / Combo Guard: </strong>A 260 pound defensive tackle with multiple DI football offers, Boyd provides an interior presence for the Fords hoops team. His outstanding work in the paint produced 16 points in a gut wrenching 2OT loss to Germantown Academy. Boyd also netted 7 points in a bounce back win over SCHA.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="991188" first="Jameel" last="Brown"] </strong>– <strong>6’4” / Junior / Haverford School / Combo Guard</strong>: The Purdue commit is making a strong case for Inter Ac Player of the Year. Brown scored 29 points (3 threes) in a double OT loss to Germantown Academy and 17 points in a win over SCHA. The Class of 2022 prospect in now averaging 22 ppg.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="990963" first="Christian" last="Clover"] </strong>– <strong>6’4” / Junior / Haverford School / Combo Guard</strong>: Clover hit a clutch three in Haverford’s 2OT win over Malvern. Then the Fords defeated SCHA 82 - 49 on Senior Day and Clover made sure it was a memorable event for him and his 2021 classmates. The smooth shooting combo-guard led the way with 30 points on the strength of 7 threes. </p>
<p><strong>Will Delaney </strong><strong>- 6’0” / Senior / Episcopal Academy / Combo Guard: </strong>Delaney (Hofstra lacrosse commit) continues to impress on the basketball court. After a 15 point night against Malvern and then a 12 point performance vs GA, the senior has raised his scoring average to 13.7 ppg.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="990948" first="Rahdir" last="Hicks"] – 6’0” / Senior / Malvern Prep / Point Guard:</strong> The Friars have won four straight games. Over that winning stretch Hicks (Towson commit) is averaging 18 ppg. Most recently he scored 16 vs. Episcopal.</p>
<p><strong>Darius Isaac </strong>– <strong>5’10” / Junior / Springside-Chestnut Hill Academy / Point Guard:</strong> The Blue Devils’ suffered through a lengthy Covid-19 pause, but in their return to action Isaac’s skills showed zero rust. His wizard like handles and high level shooting produced 11 points against Haverford.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="990929" first="Jordan" last="Longino"]</strong> – <strong>6’1” / Senior / Germantown Academy / Combo Guard</strong>: Longino (Villanova commit) is the other front runner for 2020-21 Inter Ac Player of the Year. He is averaging 25 ppg, and dropped 31 (10-11 on FTAs) on Haverford during a double OT win for the Patriots. The reigning Class 4A State Player of the Year now sits in 2<sup>nd</sup> place on GA’s all-time scoring list with over 1,600 career points. Longino added to that impressive total with 26 points in a convincing win (72-47) over Episcopal Academy.</p>
<p><strong>Kevin McCarthy </strong><strong>- 6’2” / Freshman / Episcopal Academy / Wing: </strong>Head coach Brian Shannahan is trying out different combinations in order to get a win for the Churchmen and McCarthy has been a nice find.

<p><strong>Fran Oschell – 6’7” / Senior / Malvern Prep / Power Forward: </strong>Another key factor in MP’s four game win streak, Oschell has been good for 16.7 ppg. over this recent Friars run. The latest was a 16 point performance vs EA. It was the third straight game in which Oschell has posted 16 or more points for the Friars.</p>
