<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five matchups we have deemed “must see” games from Saturday's "Battle of the Bell" slate. This extraordinary grassroots event will take place all-day Saturday at Cristo-Rey Philadelphia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL vs. [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA (17u):</strong> After going 4-0 this past weekend at Nike EYBL Session 3 (Dallas, TX), [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] is firing on all cylinders. [player_tooltip player_id='1189096' first='Jalil' last='Bethea'] (numerous DI offers) averaged 20 ppg. and posted a monster 32-point effort last Friday night. Combo guard phenom [player_tooltip player_id='1281786' first='Ahmad' last='Nowell'] (slew of DI offers), point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1116063' first='Robert' last='Wright III'] (Baylor commit) and power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1213553' first='Thomas' last='Sorber'] (Georgetown commit) were tremendous in Dallas too. Still, [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] 17s has the talent to pull off the upset here. Downhill lead guard [player_tooltip player_id='1281811' first='Izaiah' last='Pasha'] has been an outstanding addition to their roster. Stretch-4 style forward [player_tooltip player_id='1173984' first='Matt' last='Gilhool'] (several DI offers) is unstoppable. Guards [player_tooltip player_id='991421' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1281777' first='Greg' last='Guidinger'] are top ranked 2024 prospects who each hold a handful of DI offers. <em>Tipoff is at 1:00PM</em> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA vs. NY Rens (16u): </strong>This will be an entertaining contest featuring a host of the top 2025s in the northeast. On the perimeter for [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] will be lethal shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1460771' first='Jacob' last='Nguyen'] as well as top ranked point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1387096' first='Bryce' last='Rollerson']. Running with those two are skilled combo guards [player_tooltip player_id='1865345' first='Owen' last='Schlager'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1197608' first='Kevair' last='Kennedy']. Talented wing-forwards [player_tooltip player_id='1383005' first='Cameron' last='Wallace'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1379429' first='Donovan' last='Fromhartz'] are major college prospects who can play inside or outside. The Rens boast nationally ranked shooting guard Brandon Stores, 6'11 Ifaola Tacko and combo guard Brandon Lee. <em>Tipoff is at 2:20PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA vs. NY Rens (15u): </strong>A slew of elite freshman takes center stage in this contest. [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride']'s 2026 group includes the backcourt duo of elusive point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] and smooth shooting two-guard [player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham']. Taking the court with that tandem will be Haverford School's wing phenom Emanuel Butts as well as scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='1454262' first='Rowan' last='Miller']. Rens 15u brings to town highly touted 2026 prospects such as nationally ranked Imahri Wooten, double-double machine Keiner Asprilla and dime dropper Jaren Barnett. <em>Tipoff is at 5:00PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] vs. [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA (16u): </strong>Leading K-Low 16's is a pair of prospects who ae the verge of superstar status – athletic wing [player_tooltip player_id='1187931' first='Devin' last='Booker'] and 3-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='1271429' first='Kai' last='Shinholster']. Extraordinary floor generals Jacob Meachum and [player_tooltip player_id='1865290' first='Keni'' last='Williams'] run the show for this squad. On the [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] side, as a bonus to the previously mentioned 16u standouts, scoring point man [player_tooltip player_id='1477746' first='Amir' last='Nelson'], stock rising small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1865346' first='Nigel' last='Pierman'] and slasher wing Lateif Lorenzano-White are also key members of their roster. <em>Tipoff is at 6:20PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] vs. [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA (17u):</strong> The K-Low 17s group is stacked with college prospects. Bucket getter [player_tooltip player_id='1192641' first='Darren' last='Williams'] recently committed to FGCU. Point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1197611' first='KJ' last='Cochran'] is one of the best in the region. 6'8” wing shooter [player_tooltip player_id='1190330' first='Pearse' last='McGuinn'] and 6'7” forward Deuce Ketner are matchup nightmares. Combo guards [player_tooltip player_id='1202209' first='Jalen' last='Harper'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1173983' first='Amari' last='Dow'] are two of the top sleeper prospects in SEPA. For [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'], in addition to the above-mentioned 17u stars, keep an eye on super quick combo guard Ty Burton as well as scoring machine [player_tooltip player_id='1589108' first='DeMajh' last='Salisbery']. <em>Tipoff is at 7:45PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
