<p><strong>Tue., 1/10…Germantown Academy vs. Springside CHA: </strong>This will be an intriguing contest between a youthful, rising GA squad and a SCHA team stacked with upperclassmen talent. Leading GA is 2025 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1387096' first='Bryce' last='Rollerson'] (20 ppg.) and 2026 phenom [player_tooltip player_id='1406763' first='Bryce' last='Presley']. Together they form a dynamic backcourt. 2025 Ellis Johnson is a rising forward prospect in the region. Senior Luke Topley provides high percentage 3-point shooting. SCHA's lineup boasts senior [player_tooltip player_id='1188210' first='Alassane' last='Amadou'] (Marquette commit), and [player_tooltip player_id='1281996' first='Jaren' last='Morton']. They are two of the top 2023s in SEPA. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='1200762' first='Camden' last='Burns'] (1<sup>st</sup> Team All-Inter Ac in 2021-22) can score from anywhere on the court. SCHA's loaded 2024 class also includes [player_tooltip player_id='1123911' first='Ron' last='Brown III'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1281795' first='Caleb' last='Alston-Nelson']. Underclassmen [player_tooltip player_id='1865285' first='Keni' last='Williams'] (2025) and [player_tooltip player_id='1406790' first='Patrese' last='Feamster'] (2026) are rising stars. <em>Tip-off is at 4:00PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Wed., 1/11…Rocktop Academy at Hill School:</strong> Rocktop features Earle Greer, Jr. one of the most lethal scoring perimeter players in the area. Earlier this season Greer posted a 50-burger. Running with Greer is combo guard Ryan Archery who can also score in bunches. Keep an eye on shooting guard Janik Harbeck as he can fill it up as well. Hill School comes at you with an extremely well-balanced attack. Point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1196125' first='Jacob' last='Meachem'] and three level scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='1119136' first='Trey' last='O'Neil'] provide the perimeter fire power. On the interior, [player_tooltip player_id='1202023' first='Augustus' last='Gerhart'] (Penn commit) and Justin Molen are a difficult tandem to stop. Gerhart also has a bit of stretch-4 element to his game. <em>Tip-off is at 5:30PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Thu., 1/12…Boyertown at Methacton:</strong> Boyertown is paced by [player_tooltip player_id='1382963' first='Jake' last='Kapp'] (20 ppg.; 27 3PM), one of the premier uncommitted ‘23s in the area. Zach Ward is a unique point-forward prospect who owns a high basketball IQ and a feathery shooting touch. Ryan Tinney is Boyertown's senior floor general with moxy. Methacton has its own impressive trio in Alex Hermann, [player_tooltip player_id='1577641' first='Matt' last='Christian'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1200783' first='Cam' last='Chilson']. Hermann (15 ppg.) is a tremendous mid-range and in scoring threat. Christian is a 3-point sniper who moves well without the ball. Chilson is a guard who gets out in transition quickly where he can then score or distribute. <em>Tip-off is at 6:45PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Fri., 1/13…Roman Catholic at Archbishop Ryan: </strong>While standout guard [player_tooltip player_id='991334' first='Xzayvier' last='Brown'] (13 ppg.; St. Joe's commit) and sophomore big man [player_tooltip player_id='1188620' first='Shareef' last='Jackson'] grab the headlines at Roman, senior [player_tooltip player_id='1577636' first='Jermai' last='Stewart-Herring'] is quietly having a monster season. The former Delaware all-state selection is averaging 15 points per contest. Plus, he has displayed a high IQ and played with poise during his first season in the PCL. Archbishop Ryan's attack is based around extraordinary big man [player_tooltip player_id='1213553' first='Thomas' last='Sorber'] (20 ppg.; numerous DI offers). Sorber has racked up multiple double-doubles of late. AR's tandem of DI guard prospects -- [player_tooltip player_id='1192641' first='Darren' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1202211' first='Michael' last='“Zaire” Paris'] – thrive in transition and kill opponents with their dribble-drive skills. 2024 talent [player_tooltip player_id='1173991' first='Jaden' last='Murray'] is a prospect who is flying under the radar for Ryan.</p>

<p><strong>Fri., 1/13…Academy of New Church at Westtown School: </strong>If there is an uncommitted 2023 in the region having a better season then [player_tooltip player_id='1119156' first='Deywilk' last='Tavarez'] (1,000+ points; Offer from Hofstra), we are not aware of him. In 2022-23 Tavarez has scored at all three levels. He is averaging 21.7 points, 7.7 boards and 5 dimes per night. Last week he notched 27 against Abington Friends. Running with Tavarez is transition phenom [player_tooltip player_id='2229148' first='Bahsil' last='Laster'] and Swiss Army knife style prospect Jarell Keel. High level freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] has been a major contributor as well. Westtown is coming off an enormous win over FSL contender George School and this squad is gelling faster than expected. Seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1200771' first='Matt' last='Mayock'] (American Univ. commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='1393685' first='Seyphon' last='Triplett'] (Stonehill commit) are backed by power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1173984' first='Matt' last='Gilhool'] (numerous DI offers) and wing [player_tooltip player_id='1383005' first='Cameron' last='Wallace']. Gilhool is one of the most highly rated ‘24s in the state, regardless of position. Wallace is scoring machine and one of the top 2025s in Pennsylvania. Also watch for two of ‘Town's ridiculously talented underclassmen – [player_tooltip player_id='1369805' first='Jayden' last='Kelsey'] (2025) and [player_tooltip player_id='1608261' first='Jordan' last='Forsythe'] (2026). <em>Tip-off is at 5:30PM.</em></p>
