The “Difference Makers Showcase” will take place on November 5^th at Life Center Academy in New Jersey. High level prospects from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Virginia will be participating in this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a preview of five games featuring prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania that we are looking forward to watching at the “Difference Makers Showcase” this coming Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tristate vs. Friends Central:</strong> Natural born scorer Mushin Muhammad (1st Team All-State selection; 21.5 ppg.) joins an already loaded FCS roster that includes electric point man [player_tooltip player_id='1173986' first='Fazl' last='Oshodi'] (offer from Radford), all-league combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1192647' first='Reid' last='Belcher'] (offer from Columbia) and standout forward [player_tooltip player_id='1281940' first='Colin' last='Bowman']. Keep an eye on the Moore brothers of Friends Central. 2024 big fella [player_tooltip player_id='1123937' first='Isaac' last='Moore'] has taken tremendous steps forward and he now projects as a high-level stretch 4. 2025 shooting guard prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1195818' first='Gabe' last='Moore'] should contribute significantly as well. <em>Tip off at 11:00AM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Paul VI (NJ) vs. Academy of New Church:</strong> ANC returns backcourt standouts Jarell Keel and [player_tooltip player_id='1119156' first='Deywilk' last='Tavarez'] who are both DI prospects. Plus, ANC added two high level former PCL players via transfer. Juniors Bhasil Laster (formerly of Archbishop Wood) and Nolan Walden (formerly of Father Judge) will help fill the void left by the loss of ANC's top three scorers from 2021-22. ANC also features two of the most talked about 2026s in the area in guard [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] and 6'6” forward [player_tooltip player_id='1550115' first='Justin' last='Bobb']. Both freshmen will have major impact this winter. <em>Tip off at 12:30PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Life Christian Academy (VA) vs. Rocktop Academy:</strong> 6'7” combo guard Earle Greer, Jr. is the No. 1 option for a deep and talented Rocktop squad. He recently torched Phelps School for 29 points. At the other end, Greer can guard 1 through 4. He holds offers from Manhattan, UAB, FIU and NJIT. Greer will get support from electric point guard Ryan Archey and Swiss army knife prospect Louis Vidal. Archery is extremely quick and owns a smooth stop and pop game. Vidal is the “glue guy” that every college program needs. <em>Tip off at 3:30PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cardinal O'Hara vs. Covenant Academy Prep (NJ):</strong> A dark horse contender in the PCL, O' Hara is a highly skilled team comprised of DI prospects. O'Hara backcourt standouts [player_tooltip player_id='933049' first='Josh' last='Coulanges'], [player_tooltip player_id='1187956' first='Aasim' last='Burton'] (multiple offers) and [player_tooltip player_id='1281811' first='Izaiah' last='Pasha'] provide the speed as well as ball handling. While 6'7” wing [player_tooltip player_id='1190330' first='Pearse' last='McGuinn'] (offer from NJIT) spaces the floor with his elite 3-point shooting. Keep an eye on underrated prospects Zuri Harris and [player_tooltip player_id='1589268' first='Carey' last='Cunningham']. This O'Hara squad plays at an up-tempo pace that is extraordinarily difficult to defend. <em>Tip off at 5:00PM</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>West Catholic vs. George School:</strong> Hoop heads and scouts are going to love this matchup. West Catholic standout guard [player_tooltip player_id='1121734' first='Zion' last='Stanford'] is committed to Temple. Teammates [player_tooltip player_id='991381' first='Shemar' last='Wilbanks']-Aqui, Marcus Branker, Jr., and Adam “Budd” Clark are getting attention from a slew of coaches. Additionally for the Burrs, watch for 2026 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1576722' first='Kingston' last='Wheatley']. George School big man “Kachi” Nzeh (Xavier commit) is an inside/outside threat who is impossible to defend. Point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1285466' first='Christian' last='Bliss'] (several DI offers) as well as combo guards [player_tooltip player_id='901991' first='Dante' last='Weise'] and Carson Mastin place constant pressure on opposing defenses. Power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1153953' first='Luke' last='Bevilacqua'] (6'11”; 240-pounds) is a high-level interior prospect who has added a 3-point shot to his game. <em>Tip off at 6:30PM</em> &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
