Tue., 1/10…Germantown Academy vs. Springside CHA: 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 Bryce Rollerson Bryce Rollerson 5'11" | PG Germantown Academy | 2025 State PA (20 ppg.) and 2026 phenom Bryce Presley Bryce Presley 6'4" | SF Germantown Academy | 2026 State PA . 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 Alassane Amadou Alassane Amadou 6'9" | PF SCH Academy | 2023 State #188 Nation PA (Marquette commit), and Jaren Morton Jaren Morton 6'5" | SG SCH Academy | 2023 State PA . They are two of the top 2023s in SEPA. Junior Camden Burns Camden Burns 6'0" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA (1st Team All-Inter Ac in 2021-22) can score from anywhere on the court. SCHA’s loaded 2024 class also includes Ron Brown III Ron Brown III 5'11" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA and Caleb Alston-Nelson. Underclassmen Keni Williams Keni Williams 6'2" | PG SCH Academy | 2025 PA (2025) and Patrese “Trese” Feamster Patrese “Trese” Feamster 6'4" | SG Friends Central | 2027 PA (2026) are rising stars. Tip-off is at 4:00PM.
Wed., 1/11…Rocktop Academy at Hill School: 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 Jacob Meachem Jacob Meachem 5'8" | PG Hill School | 2025 State PA and three level scoring guard Trey O’Neil Trey O’Neil 6'1" | CG Hill School | 2024 PA provide the perimeter fire power. On the interior, Augustus Gerhart Augustus Gerhart 6'9" | PF Hill School | 2023 State PA (Penn commit) and Justin Molen are a difficult tandem to stop. Gerhart also has a bit of stretch-4 element to his game. Tip-off is at 5:30PM.
Thu., 1/12…Boyertown at Methacton: Boyertown is paced by Jake Kapp Jake Kapp 6'3" | SF Boyertown | 2023 State PA (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, Matt Christian Matt Christian 6'3" | CG Methacton | 2023 State PA , and Cam Chilson Cam Chilson 6'0" | SG Methacton | 2023 State PA . 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. Tip-off is at 6:45PM.
Fri., 1/13…Roman Catholic at Archbishop Ryan: While standout guard Xzayvier Brown Xzayvier Brown 6'1" | PG Roman Catholic | 2023 State #233 Nation PA (13 ppg.; St. Joe’s commit) and sophomore big man Shareef Jackson Shareef Jackson 6'9" | C Roman Catholic | 2025 State #249 Nation PA grab the headlines at Roman, senior Jermai Stewart-Herring Jermai Stewart-Herring 6'5" | CG Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA 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 Thomas Sorber Thomas Sorber 6'9" | C Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State #58 Nation PA (20 ppg.; numerous DI offers). Sorber has racked up multiple double-doubles of late. AR’s tandem of DI guard prospects — Darren Williams Darren Williams 6'4" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA and Michael “Zaire” Paris Michael “Zaire” Paris 5'11" | CG Archbishop Ryan | 2023 State PA – thrive in transition and kill opponents with their dribble-drive skills. 2024 talent Jaden Murray Jaden Murray 6'7" | PF Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA is a prospect who is flying under the radar for Ryan.
Fri., 1/13…Academy of New Church at Westtown School: If there is an uncommitted 2023 in the region having a better season then Deywilk Tavarez Deywilk Tavarez 6'2" | CG Academy of New Church | 2023 State PA (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 Bahsil Laster Bahsil Laster 6'5" | PG Academy of New Church | 2024 State PA and Swiss Army knife style prospect Jarell Keel. High level freshman Dior Carter Dior Carter 6'3" | SF Academy of the New Church | 2026 State PA 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 Matt Mayock Matt Mayock 6'4" | SG Westtown School | 2023 State PA (American Univ. commit) and Seyphon Triplett Seyphon Triplett 6'1" | CG Westtown School | 2023 State PA (Stonehill commit) are backed by power forward Matt Gilhool Matt Gilhool 6'10" | C Long Island Lutheran | 2024 #254 Nation NY (numerous DI offers) and wing Cameron Wallace Cameron Wallace 6'5" | SF Westtown School | 2025 State PA . 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 – Jayden Kelsey Jayden Kelsey 6'6" | CG Westtown School | 2025 State PA (2025) and Jordan Forsythe (2026). Tip-off is at 5:30PM.
