Below is our preview of five “Big 64” games featuring SEPA prospects that we have deemed “must see” contests.
Upper Moreland vs. Delaware County Christian: Upper Moreland’s offense is built around 6’10” senior Sean Murphy Sean Murphy 6'10" | PF Upper Moreland | 2024 State PA who owns a slew of mid-range moves and can play in the low post. UM’s backcourt can hold their own as well. Point guard Alex Best (2024) can score and run a team. Meanwhile shooting guard Colson Campbell Colson Campbell 6'0" | SG Upper Moreland | 2025 PA (2025) is a high percentage sniper who stretches the floor. Delco Christian features a starting lineup that contains three versatile guards in Khamai Orange Khamai Orange 6'2" | PG Delaware County Christian | 2025 State PA , Beau Lyren Beau Lyren 6'2" | PG Delaware County Christian | 2025 State PA and Cole Prussner. All three prospects can switch between primary ball handler and the two-guard spot. For DCC also keep an eye on dead-eye shooter Caleb Jameson Caleb Jameson 6'2" | CG Delaware County Christian | 2025 State PA . Tip-off is on Saturday at 9:00AM at Glen Mills School.
Devon Prep vs. Rocktop Academy: With transfers coming and going, there have been several changes to the DP lineup in the last two months. But two things remain constant – the outstanding play of stretch-4 Ben Costello and wing Zane Conlan. The addition of three level scorer Mason Thear Mason Thear 5'11" | CG Devon Prep | 2025 State PA and 3-point ace Calvin Smith Calvin Smith 6'3" | SG Devon Prep | 2025 State PA will provide needed points production for DP. Rocktop is once again loaded with college prospects. This year’s lineup includes three impressive post graduate players in shooting guard Jackson Gaffney (6’7”), prolific scorer Nasir Washington and forward Evan Pasik (6’8”). Tip-off is on Saturday at 9:00AM at Glen Mills School.
Overbrook vs. Conwell-Egan: Overbrook’s Omar Davis Omar Davis 6'3" | SG Overbrook | 2024 State PA was a major breakout star this summer. He put himself on the recruiting map in June at Philly HS Live. Then he registered an outstanding July circuit and tremendous performances at the “A-Town Throwdown.” Running with Davis is point guard Charlie Belcher Charlie Belcher 6'1" | CG Overbrook | 2024 State PA . He is a quick and crafty backcourt prospect who can do it all. Conwell-Egan’s duo of Antwone George Antwone George 6'2" | CG Conwell-Egan | 2025 State PA and Aidan Mondragon are one of the best kept secrets in the PCL. George is a versatile player who can run as a guard or small forward. Mondragon is a perimeter prospect who can score off the bounce and hit threes. We expect 2026 prospect Justin Bob to make contributions for Egan as well. Tip-off is on Saturday at 2:00PM at Glen Mills School.
Pennsbury vs. Engineering & Sciences: This matchup is an under the radar contest that will feature several college prospects. 6’7” hybrid-forward Simon Dlugi (York College commit) and wing Connor Taddei supply the bulk of the scoring for Pennsbury. Taddei is a 3-level scorer who was stellar at Philly HS Live. On the Engineering and Sciences’ roster college coaches need to scout point guard Fareed Brown Fareed Brown 5'9" | CG Carver – Engineering And Sciences | 2026 State PA and shooting guard Anthony Brown, Jr. Anthony Brown, Jr. 6'4" | SG Carver – Engineering and Sciences | 2024 State PA Fareed can go coast-to-coast in the blink of an eye. Anthony is a lethal scorer who uses his feathery jump shot to set up his dribble drive game. Tip-off is on Sunday at 11:00AM in Sturzebecker
Central Bucks East vs. Abington Friends School: The last ride for CB East’s talented 2024 group starts this fall. Athletic scoring wing Jacob Cummiskey Jacob Cummiskey 6'3" | CG Central Bucks East | 2024 State PA will be option No. 1, but he will have plenty of support. Guards Justin DiRoberto Justin DiRoberto 6'2" | PG Central Bucks East | 2024 State PA and Dhruv Mukund stretch the floor with their perimeter shooting. Both can also play in transition. 6’7” forward Miles Demby is an athletic phenom who can slash to the cup for dunks. AFS will have elite floor general Kaydin Ford Kaydin Ford 5'10" | PG Abington Friends | 2024 State PA directing their offense. He is joined on the perimeter by versatile senior shooting guard Jared Shanken Jared Shanken 6'0" | SG Abington Friends School | 2024 State PA and transfer Zamir Parker-Barnes Zamir Parker-Barnes 6'4" | CG Abington Friends | 2025 State PA (formerly of Frankford). The addition of Parker-Barnes supplies AFS with a legitimate three-level scoring threat on the wing. Tip-off is on Sunday at 10:00AM in Sturzebecker.
