SEPA HS Scouting: Week 14 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of five prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who played outstanding hoops during Week 14 of the 2022-23 high school basketball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1116013' first='Jaden' last='Colzie'] – 5'10” / Junior / Plymouth Whitemarsh / NJ Scholars Elite / Point Guard: </strong>With District 1-6A tournament opponents locked in on “P-Dub's” [player_tooltip player_id='1188211' first='Qudire' last='Bennett'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1123895' first='Chase' last='Coleman'], this typically pass first lead guard was presented with a golden opportunity to showcase his scoring talents. Colzie stepped up and delivered. In their semifinal win against Lower Merion, Colzie got to the cup and drained 3 triples (16 points overall). Then in the D1-6A championship contest, with “P-Dub” trailing in the 4th quarter, Colzie went off for 13 points and pushed the Colonials to the title. In that win he registered 16 points overall on the strength of 3 threes.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1123885' first='Nick' last='Coval'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / Junior / Parkland / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Shooting Guard: </strong>To say Coval registered an impressive three game run to capture the District 11-6A hardware is an understatement. This deceptively athletic 2-guard used his lethal 3-point stroke, quick dribble pull-ups and transition scoring to average 21.6 points and 2.6 made 3-balls per contest. Coval poured in 27 points in their quarter final win over Northampton and 24 in Parkland's title game victory over Liberty. State tournament opponents who think Coval is a one-dimensional perimeter shooter are in for a rude awakening. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1378453' first='Ruben' last='Rodriguez'] – 6'1” / Senior / Reading / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] Red / Wing: </strong>One of the top scoring floor generals in SEPA continued to destroy opponents this week. AcrossReading's three District playoff games Rodriguez averaged 28.6 ppg. and 2.5 made threes per contest. The highlight of Rodriguez's most recent stretch of stellar play was a 42-point (3 threes) outburst during a win over Chambersburg in the quarterfinals. This Rider University commit was also instrumental in Reading's 55-54 OT win vs. Cumberland Valley in the District 3-6A championship game (12 points; 2 threes).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1486760' first='Jahrel' last='Vigo'] – 6'1” / Sophomore / Allentown Central Catholic / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] Red / Combo Guard: </strong>Between the District 11-4A semifinal and championship games Vigo averaged 15.5 per night. In ACC's 4A championship contest win, this versatile prospect with hops led the way with 22 points and 7 steals against archrival Bethlehem Catholic. This past week Vigo scored in transition, drove to the rack where he finished with authority and drained the occasional 3-pointer. Obviously, he is a plus defender as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1116063' first='Robert' last='Wright III'] – 5'11” / Junior / Neumann-Goretti / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Point Guard:</strong> During an extremely disappointing overtime loss to Roman Catholic in the PCL championship game, Wright (Baylor commit) recorded 13 points (1 three), 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Next, this electric, three level scorer torched Overbrook 43 points (5/10 on triples) in the District 12-4A title game. Additionally, Wright grabbed 6 rebounds and had 6 steals in the victory. There is no doubt that Wright owns elite scoring skills, but Wright also continues to prove he is one of the most well rounded, high IQ guards in the region.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
