<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pioneer Athletic Conference is primed for an entertaining and competitive 2022-23 season featuring high-level play from bona-fide stars. By now you are familiar with the PAC ballers we are talking about. Names like [player_tooltip player_id='1382963' first='Jake' last='Kapp'], [player_tooltip player_id='1589203' first='Dom' last='DeMito'], [player_tooltip player_id='1116047' first='Madison' last='Tatom'], [player_tooltip player_id='1379448' first='Nyles' last='Bunn-McNeill'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1577641' first='Matt' last='Christian'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Running the court with those No. 1 options will be a group of prospects who are not household names yet, but they will contribute heavily for their varsity teams this winter and potentially play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we want to highlight five of these PAC athletes so this season when someone asks you, <em>“What's His Name?”</em> you will know the answer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2226415' first='Myon' last='Kirlew'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / Junior / Norristown / BW Elite / Shooting Guard: </strong>Kirlew only averaged 6 points per game last season, but on a couple of occasions he revealed his potential by exploding for 20+ points. He is a fast and wiry guard who can hit threes as well as slash to the rim. Kilrew is also a capable secondary ball handler. <strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chase Mondillo </strong><strong>– 6'1” / Junior / Pope John Paul II / Eastern PA Elite / Shooting Guard: </strong>Mondillo burst onto our radar during summer ball after several outstanding performances. Included in that stretch of extraordinary play was his 5 made threes effort vs. Imhotep Charter. Mondillo's stellar 3-point shooting continued into the fall ball season. Plus, he displayed the ability to hit pull up Js and use his dribbles to get to the rack.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gabe Rinda </strong><strong>– 6'0” / Junior / Pottsgrove / Eastern PA Elite / Combo Guard: </strong>This ridiculous athlete (Also QB for football team.) excels on the break where he can hit transition threes or convert lay-ins. In the half-court Rinda is a high IQ guard who drains jumpers from the mid-range out to the arc. If a defender closes out too quickly, Rinda will go to the rim via the dribble. Last season he posted 11 ppg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1589403' first='Julian' last='Sadler'] </strong><strong>– 6'2″ / Junior / Perkiomen Valley / Prim3 Tim3 / Combo Guard:</strong> Sadler's elusive handles and off the dribble scoring made him one of this past summer's biggest 2024 stock risers. He plays an up-tempo game, getting into the paint for buckets, dump off assists and drive and kicks. Sadler (10 ppg. last season) owns an effective pull-up jumper and can splash threes.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zach Ward </strong><strong>– 6'5” / Senior / Boyertown / Eastern PA Elite / Wing: </strong>One of the most intriguing prospects in the PAC, Ward fills all the columns on the stat sheet with his point-forward style of play. He is a high percentage shooter with range out to the line. His court vision and precision passing make him a tremendous distributor. As a bonus, Ward rebounds the ball at both ends. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
