5 SEPA Teams to Watch this Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of five teams from southeastern Pennsylvania that we will be watching closely during fall league action and team camps in September and October.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Teams below are presented in alphabetical order.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Archbishop Ryan</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AR is an obvious choice as they return all their key players from the 2022-23 team that won the District 1-5A title and made a deep run in the state tournament. Shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1192641' first='Darren' last='Williams'] (FGCU commit) and power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1213553' first='Thomas' last='Sorber'] (Georgetown commit) will lead the way. Running with those two will be wing [player_tooltip player_id='1173991' first='Jaden' last='Murray'], shooting guards [player_tooltip player_id='1848533' first='Ryan' last='Everett'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1477717' first='Rocco' last='Morabito'] as well as combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1589091' first='Christian' last='Durham']. This squad will rack up a ton of wins this fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Central York</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central York lost only one player from a 2022-23 squad that won 22 games, captured the YAIAA championship and qualified for the 6A state tournament. Thus, we are expecting them to hit the ground running this fall. Knock down 3-point shooter [player_tooltip player_id='1281777' first='Greg' last='Guidinger'] (2^nd Team 6A All-State), elusive floor general [player_tooltip player_id='1287319' first='Ben' last='Natal'], dominant big fella [player_tooltip player_id='1271440' first='Ben' last='Rill'] and under the radar combo-guard JoJo Woodyard all return. As a bonus, CY should get nice contributions from stock rising 2026 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2247335' first='Ryan' last='Jackson'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>North Penn</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>During fall ball action North Penn will rely heavily on their senior duo of standout point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1200743' first='Norman' last='Gee, Jr.'] and athletic wing scorer Corey Meade. However fellow 2024 Teddy McAllister posted a monster summer and if he can develop into a third scoring option for North Penn, they will turn heads over the next two months. McCallister is a wizard at scoring off the dribble and his step-back jumper is an effective weapon too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Penn Charter</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PC has a new head coach in [player_tooltip player_id='1466558' first='Brandon' last='Williams'] and a host of new players too. Typically, that combination means a program is headed for a slow start. However, Williams is a fantastic coach, and the key new arrivals are top ranked 2025s - [player_tooltip player_id='2235863' first='Matt' last='Gilhool'] (slew of DI offers), [player_tooltip player_id='1136565' first='Jake' last='West'] (a dozen DI offers) and [player_tooltip player_id='991423' first='Jamal' last='Hicks Jr']. When you combine that trio with returners such as 3-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='1271429' first='Kai' last='Shinholster'] (eight DI offers) and under the radar junior [player_tooltip player_id='1486754' first='TJ' last='Bryson'], we like this team's chances of being ready to compete at a high-level right away.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Spring Ford</u></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The reigning PAC champions, and District 1-6A runner ups return several talented prospects. Included in that list is elite shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1460771' first='Jacob' last='Nguyen'] (offers from Bucknell, Drexel &amp; Albany) and multi-skilled combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1281774' first='EJ' last='Campbell'] (offer from Rider). Plus, Spring Ford has added transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1123922' first='Ty' last='Mishock'] to its lineup. Mishock (offer from Lehigh) was a three-year starter at Devon Prep who played both guard spots. Last season he averaged 13.5 points and 4 assists per game while shooting 39% from behind the arc. The addition of a third perimeter scorer (Mishock) will make SF extremely difficult to defend. If this squad gels quickly, the Rams will be tough to beat this fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
