After the 2022-3 season he was named as a 1st Team All-FSL and a 2^nd Team Non-PIAA All-State selection. Bevilacqua holds a handful of DI offers and was just re-offered by Rick Pitino and St. John's.<strong></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1173984' first='Matt' last='Gilhool'] </strong><strong>– 6'9″ / Junior / Long Island Lutheran / Philly Pride UAA / Power Forward:</strong> This stretch-4 style forward who averaged 10.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game at Westtown School this past season is in the news again.

In 2022-23 he averaged 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Grady's primary weapon is his textbook 3-point stroke. If a defender manages to chase him off the arc, Grady will use the dribble to get into the paint for floaters or lay-ins. He can also use the dribble to create for teammates. This week Grady committed to St. John Fisher University (D3).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1835804' first='Jeremiah' last='Marshall'] </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / Senior / Coatesville / Team Final Red / Combo Guard:</strong> During the 2022-23 season, Marshall registered 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 dimes per game while pushing Coatesville to the 6A state tourney quarterfinals.
