<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is now early September and that mean it is time for the fall ball grind to tip off. The basketball action in southeastern Pennsylvania begins this coming weekend with the 3^rd Annual Never Forget Classic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Event directors Ross Romanello (Archbishop Carroll / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power']) and Dan Hoff (Boyertown) have assembled a highly competitive slate of games for September 9^th and 10^th. This year's contests will take place at three locations: Competitive Edge, Archbishop Carroll, and Archbishop Ryan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a preview of five additional games from the Never Forget Classic that we are looking forward to watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Phoenixville vs. West Philly: </strong>Phoenixville stretch-4 [player_tooltip player_id='1867330' first='Deacon' last='Baratta'] posted a monster summer and is now on every college coach's radar. When you combine Baratta with seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1850293' first='Max' last='Lebisky'] and Aidan McClintock, Phoenixville will take the court with a formidable scoring trio. West Philly's [player_tooltip player_id='1850270' first='Abdrahaman' last='Coulibaly'] was a major 2024 stock riser this summer. Running with Coulibaly is 6'7” wing [player_tooltip player_id='1890563' first='Makel' last='Butts'], and electric combo-guard [player_tooltip player_id='1888856' first='Khabir' last='Washington']. 2025 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1466558' first='Brandon' last='Williams'] is another player to watch for the Speedboys. <em>Tip-off is 10:40 AM on Saturday at Competitive Edge.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Unionville vs West Catholic: Seniors </strong>Charlie Kammeier, [player_tooltip player_id='1848627' first='James' last='Anderson'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1850283' first='Ryan' last='Brown'] are poised to guide Unionville to a big fall / winter. They will get plenty of help from [player_tooltip player_id='1493066' first='James' last='Brenner'], one of the top 2026s in the region. A reloaded West Catholic squad is ready to defend their 3A state title. Athletic wings [player_tooltip player_id='1990915' first='Tariq' last='Jennings'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1576722' first='Kingston' last='Wheatley'] as well as point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1486773' first='Saaid' last='Lee'], shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2047551' first='Isaiah' last='Muhammad'] and forward [player_tooltip player_id='1601176' first='Jaden' last='Banner'] will handle the bulk of the scoring for WC. <em>Tip-off is Saturday at 1:00 PM at Archbishop Carroll.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Archbishop Carroll vs. Abington:</strong> Carroll's highly acclaimed 2026s and 2027s will be a force to reckon with in 2023-24. Elite point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1608257' first='Ian' last='Williams'], combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1406770' first='Nasir' last='Ralls'] and wing Lua Foster spearhead their 2026 group. Scoring machine [player_tooltip player_id='1406767' first='Munir' last='Greig'] is the headlining 2027 to watch for Carroll. Abington's lineup boasts point-forward [player_tooltip player_id='1460803' first='Paul' last='Glants'], shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2226432' first='Jaden' last='Flournoy'] and 6'6” wing Kamari Brasher. For Abington pay attention to Class of 2027 point guard prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2427245' first='Xander' last='Grasty'] too. <em>Tip-off is Saturday at 5:00 PM at Archbishop Carroll.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Methacton vs. Executive Education:</strong> Methacton graduated several key players, but the three-guard lineup of Alex Hermann, [player_tooltip player_id='1865349' first='Sal' last='Iemmello'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2247339' first='Christian' last='Matos'] returns. So, the winning ways should continue for this program. [player_tooltip player_id='2336671' first='Wes' last='Robinson'] is another underclassman to watch for Methacton. EEACS has their own perimeter triple threat in point guard Rylan Muniz, shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1764304' first='Gabe' last='Hornberger'] and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2047680' first='Jaden' last='Shipley']. Complimenting those three is the interior play of power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1850279' first='Lamine' last='Sanoh']. <em>Tip-off is 8:00 PM on Saturday at Competitive Edge.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WC Henderson vs Archbishop Ryan:</strong> Henderson's talented senior class of [player_tooltip player_id='1589404' first='Connor' last='Fleet'], [player_tooltip player_id='1118630' first='Nelson' last='Lamizana'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1589269' first='Nyle' last='Ralph-Beyer'] will be the key pieces to what should be a fall and winter filled with Ws. Ralph-Beyer grabbed headlines throughout the spring / summer circuits with his standout performances. Archbishop Ryan is absolutely stacked with DI prospects. For Ryan, its starts with the inside-outside combo of [player_tooltip player_id='1213553' first='Thomas' last='Sorber'] (Georgetown commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='1192641' first='Darren' last='Williams'] (FGCU commit). Flanking those two are guards [player_tooltip player_id='1589091' first='Christian' last='Durham'], [player_tooltip player_id='1477717' first='Rocco' last='Morabito'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1848533' first='Ryan' last='Everett'] as well as wing [player_tooltip player_id='1173991' first='Jaden' last='Murray']. All four of them will play at the next level. <em>Tip-off is at Noon on Sunday at Archbishop Ryan.</em> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
