Running with those two will be senior wing scorer Miles Johnson and point guard Tygee Clark. Back in August, Clark was a breakout star at the Check Rock League. SCHA’s roster is packed with college prospects too. Senior Camden Burns Camden Burns 6'0" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA (2x 1st Team All-Inter Ac) will be their number one option. Working off Burns will be multiskilled guard Ron Brown III Ron Brown III 5'11" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA and floor general Keni Williams Keni Williams 6'2" | PG SCH Academy | 2025 PA . Tipoff is at 2:40PM.
Spring Ford vs. Life Center: The outstanding backcourt of combo guard EJ Campbell EJ Campbell 6'0" | CG Spring Ford | 2024 State PA and shooting guard Jacob Nguyen Jacob Nguyen 6'3" | SG Spring Ford | 2025 State PA are the centerpieces for a roster with District 1-6A title aspirations. On the interior Spring Ford boasts Swiss Army knife forward Tommy Kelly Tommy Kelly 6'4" | SF Spring Ford | 2025 State PA and stretch-4 Oben Mokonchu Oben Mokonchu 6'6" | C Spring Ford | 2026 State PA . Both players will make significant contributions this fall / winter. LCA is one of the top teams in New Jersey. Multi-skilled big man Isaac Moore and 2027 phenom Mekhi Robertson make this squad go. Tipoff is at 4:00PM.
Haverford School vs. St. Elizabeth’s (DE): Expectations are high for Haverford School in 2023-24. The reason for the positive vibes around the Fords is the team returns a host of extraordinarily talented players. Guards Duke Cloran Duke Cloran 6'1" | CG Haverford School | 2025 State PA , KJ Carson KJ Carson 6'0" | CG Haverford School | 2025 State PA , and Silas Graham Silas Graham 6'4" | CG Haverford School | 2027 PA are an impressive trio. As a bonus, Haverford’s backcourt rotation includes three level scorer Billy Rayer Billy Rayer 5'10" | PG Haverford Boys | 2024 State PA . Small forward Emmanuel Butts Emmanuel Butts 6'6" | PF Haverford School | 2026 State PA posted a monster summer and is primed for a breakout season. St. Elizabeth’s lineup features 6’5” Aiden Tobiason. He is one of top wing prospects in the Mid-Atlantic region. Tipoff is at 5:20PM.
Friends Central vs. Coatesville: This contest will feature several of the top perimeter prospects in SEPA. The Friends Central’s roster includes quartet of perimeter prosects that are extremely difficult to contain. Scoring guard Fazl Oshodi Fazl Oshodi 6'3" | CG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (handful of DI offers), slashing wing Muhsin Muhammad Muhsin Muhammad 6'4" | SF Friends Central | 2024 State PA , rock steady point guard Reid Belcher Reid Belcher 5'11" | PG Friends Central | 2024 State PA and combo guard Su-Meer Alleyne Su-Meer Alleyne 6'4" | SF Friends Central | 2025 State PA will all play at the next level.

Episcopal Academy vs. Upper Dublin: Episcopal superstar Kevin McCarthy Kevin McCarthy 6'4" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2024 State PA (1st Team All-Inter-AC) received some much-needed scoring help this summer thanks to the addition of a couple transfers. Former Archmere Academy (DE) standout Matt McCarthy Matt McCarthy 6'2" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2025 State PA and elusive point guard Keron Booth (previously of Haverford School) are now at EA. Their presence on the floor will keep opponents from double teaming Kevin on every possession. Upper Dublin returns a host of college prospects for 2023-24.
