<p>Below is a review of the prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) who impressed during Week 5 action at the 2023 Check Rock League.</p>

<p><strong><u>Player of the Week</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1460800' first='Jordan' last='Ellerbee'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2025 / St. Joe's Prep / NJ Scholars EYBL / Combo Guard: </strong>Ellerbee started his week at the Check Rock League by registering a ridiculous 25 points and 10 rebounds double-double in the semifinals. He then posted 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the championship game as Ellerbee pushed his squad (Bay Ray's) to the 2023 CRL title. This week's outstanding performances capped off an extremely impressive summer by this three-level scoring guard. Ellerbee is a versatile prospect who has a major impact at both ends of the floor. He holds an offer from Albany, and we expect more to come pouring in this fall. </p>
