But it worked out just fine because he knocked down EIGHT threes against MCS. The rising junior consistently found himself open while off-ball and he made the defense pay each and every time. Most of his threes were catch-and-shoots, however, one was a pull up and another was a movement three. He led all scorers on the day with 26 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1188621' first='Olin' last='Chamberlain'] Jr | 6'0 G 2025 St. Joe's Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northeast was in arms reach of the Prep for most of the game, trading baskets to stay within 10 points. Then in the early part of the third, Chamberlain Jr went off. Playing with a heightened sense of urgency, he created an open look for someone else to hit a three before going on a 6-point run of his own. Chamberlain Jr made a pull up middy and two lays in consecutive possessions to extend SJP's lead as they went on to win big. He scored a game-high 18 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saleem Hudson | 6'1 G 2024 Dobbins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dobbins started out slow on Thursday, going back and forth in a rock fight against Boys Latin. They were down with a few minutes left and at risk of being eliminated until Hudson gave them a boost. The soon-to-be senior pulled up from three to cut the deficit. Shortly after that, he got a steal and assist as Dobbins went on to force overtime. Hudson's assertiveness carried over into the extra period, driving the offense by getting to the rack and helping them pullout the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1486773' first='Saaid' last='Lee'] | 6'0 G 2025 West Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lee had an all-around floor game for the Burrs. He defended well at the point-of-attack and off-ball, picking pockets and shooting gaps for quick transition opportunities, highlighted by a couple dunks. His athleticism flashed in the halfcourt too with rebounding and ability to generate paint touches. Lee's rim pressure sent the defense into rotation, resulting in assists and hockey assists. He finished with 20 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nasseem Wright | 6'6 W 2024 MCS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Elephants couldn't come away with the victory, but Wright absolutely gave them a crack at it. With no less than 3 sets of eyes on him at any given time, he still found ways to get into the lane. And when he couldn't, Wright countered with floaters and mid-range jumpers. He also found success attacking in transition before the defense was set, often on turnovers he created. He paced MCS with 23 points all while making an impact on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Honorable mention</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sa'ir Alsbrooks | 2024 Frankford</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1601176' first='Jaden' last='Banner'] | 2025 West Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zach Campbell | 2024 Dobbins</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amar Dow | 2024 Cristo Rey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848507' first='Perry' last='Fields'] | 2024 Boys Latin</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Darrius Gaeta | 2024 Northeast</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='933048' first='Tristen' last='Guillouette'] | 2024 St. Joe's Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1197607' first='Jaron' last='McKie'] | 2025 St. Joe's Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2383342' first='Azeem' last='Murphy'] | 2024 MCS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The semifinals and championship games will be played this coming Tuesday at Jefferson University's East Falls campus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
