Tue., 2/7…Friends Select at Academy of New Church: FSS is led by a trio of standout players in Niymire Brown Niymire Brown 6'4" | SF Upper Darby | 2023 State PA , Isaiah Marshall, and Jay Chiles Jay Chiles 6'1" | CG Friends Select | 2025 State PA . 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 Deywilk Tavarez Deywilk Tavarez 6'2" | CG Academy of New Church | 2023 State PA (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.

Tue., 2/7…Radnor at Strath Haven: Shooting guard Jackson Hicke Jackson Hicke 6'5" | SF Radnor | 2023 State PA (Princeton commit), point guard Danny Rosenblum Danny Rosenblum 6'0" | PG Radnor | 2023 State PA (Rochester commit), wing Charlie Thornton Charlie Thornton 6'4" | SF Radnor | 2023 State PA 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.

The only team keeping Dock from achieving their goal is a feisty Plumstead Christian squad featuring the smooth shooting of senior Ryan Jacobs.

Fri., 2/10…Roman Catholic at St. Joe’s Prep: 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.

Point-forward Anthony Finkley Anthony Finkley 6'6" | SF Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA (St. Joe’s commit) and “glue guy” Erik Oliver-Bush Erik Oliver-Bush 6'4" | SG Roman Catholic | 2023 State PA can get buckets as well.
