5 SEPA Games to Watch this Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a preview of five must see games taking place this week in southeastern Pennsylvania.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., 2/7…Malvern Prep at Penn Charter: </strong>The 2022-23 Inter Ac title is on the line in this rematch (PC won the first meeting.). By now the main characters in this game are well known. For MP, stretch-4 [player_tooltip player_id='1379452' first='Andrew' last='Phillips'], and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='991421' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] (multiple DI offers) will carry the scoring load. Starring for Penn Charter will be point guard [player_tooltip player_id='991383' first='Mark' last='Butler'] (Lafayette commit) and wing prospect Isaiah Grimes. As a bonus, there are two rising stars in this contest to watch. Malvern freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1454262' first='Rowan' last='Miller'] is a scoring guard phenom and PC sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1271429' first='Kai' last='Shinholster'] is one of the top shooting guards in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., 2/7…Friends Select at Academy of New Church: </strong>FSS is led by a trio of standout players in [player_tooltip player_id='1202039' first='Christian' last='Kirkland'], Isaiah Marshall, and [player_tooltip player_id='1460781' first='Jay' last='Chiles']. Kirkland (1,000+ points) is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the region. Marshall is a high percentage shooting guard with deep range. Chiles is a 2025 combo guard with unlimited potential. ANC is led by superstar [player_tooltip player_id='1119156' first='Deywilk' last='Tavarez'] (1,000+ points; Offer from Hofstra). Tavarez is one of the most sought after uncommitted ‘23s in the area. Flanking Tavarez is multi-skilled prospect Jarell Keel and hybrid guard/forward prospect Bahsil Laster. Both are talented enough to play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., 2/7…Radnor at Strath Haven: </strong>Shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1119137' first='Jackson' last='Hicke'] (Princeton commit), point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1200819' first='Danny' last='Rosenblum'] (Rochester commit), wing [player_tooltip player_id='1212678' first='Charlie' last='Thornton'] and the rest of Radnor's decorated Class of 2023 have designs on an undefeated regular season. For Radnor you will also want to keep an eye on Jackson Gaffney, a 6'6” wing who can shoot threes and play above the rim. Strath Haven would love to play the role of dream season spoiler. Leading Strath Haven's attempt to end Radnor's perfect regular season will be Union College (D3) commit [player_tooltip player_id='1379478' first='Jaden' last='Jauregui'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri., 2/10…Dock Mennonite at Plumstead Christian: </strong>Standout guard Nathan Lapp (1,000+ point scorer) and junior guard Vaughn Martin are hoping to secure a second consecutive undefeated BAL season for Dock. In addition to being an all-area basketball player, Lapp is a Millersville University (D3) baseball commit. Martin is a stock rising 2024 who can knock home threes and score in the mid-range. The only team keeping Dock from achieving their goal is a feisty Plumstead Christian squad featuring the smooth shooting of senior Ryan Jacobs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri., 2/10…Roman Catholic at St. Joe's Prep: </strong>Two reasons why both Roman (9-1) and SJP (8-2) sit at the top of the Philly Catholic League standing are talent and depth. Roman's standout guards [player_tooltip player_id='991334' first='Xzayvier' last='Brown'] (14 ppg.; St. Joe's commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='1577636' first='Jermai' last='Stewart-Herring'] (14.6 ppg.; 47% on 3s) are an unstoppable backcourt. Sophomore power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1188620' first='Shareef' last='Jackson'] (12 ppg. &amp; 8.6 rpg.) is an interior beast. Point-forward [player_tooltip player_id='1116024' first='Anthony' last='Finkley'] (St. Joe's commit) and “glue guy” [player_tooltip player_id='1400497' first='Erik' last='Oliver-Bush'] can get buckets as well. SJP's roster is led by all-everything 2025 combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1197607' first='Jaron' last='McKie'] (17 ppg.; 47% on 3s). Running with McKie is slasher wing [player_tooltip player_id='1202209' first='Jalen' last='Harper'] (11 ppg.) and floor general [player_tooltip player_id='1188621' first='Olin' last='Chamberlain'] as well as shooting guards [player_tooltip player_id='1460800' first='Jordan' last='Ellerbee'] and Matt Gorman. Doing work in the paint for SJP is big man [player_tooltip player_id='933048' first='Tristen' last='Guillouette'] (10 &amp; 9 per night; multiple DI offers).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
