ANC is led by three level scorer Bahsil Laster Bahsil Laster 6'5" | PG Academy of New Church | 2024 State PA (a couple DI offers). Running with Laster are talented forwards Ryan Warren Ryan Warren 6'5" | PF Academy of New Church | 2026 State PA , Caleb Alston-Nelson Caleb Alston-Nelson 6'7" | PF Academy of New Church | 2025 State PA , and Cameron Smith Cameron Smith 6'7" | PF Academy Of New Church | 2026 State PA .

Fri., December 8th…Lower Merion at Downingtown West: This is an intriguing early season match-up between two of the top 6A public school teams in the region. In 2023-24 Lower Merion will lean heavily on senior guards Owen McCabe Owen McCabe 5'10" | CG Lower Merion | 2024 State PA , Adam Herrenkohl and John Mobley John Mobley 6'2" | SG Lower Merion | 2024 State PA . All three are capable of scoring 20+ points on a given night. 6’5” small Forward Jayden Robinson Jayden Robinson 6'5" | SF Lower Merion | 2024 State PA will point production from the mid-range to the rim. In 2023-24 D-West will be paced by a pair of extraordinarily talented 2025s in Donovan Fromhartz Donovan Fromhartz 6'5" | SF Downingtown West | 2025 State PA and Zeke Staz Zeke Staz 6'7" | C Downingtown West | 2025 State PA . Both hybrid-forwards are potential DI prospects. We expect sophomore Brady Moore Brady Moore 6'5" | SF Downingtown West | 2026 State PA to contribute heavily for D-West in this game too. Tip-off is at 5:00PM.
Fri., December 8th…Unionville vs. Malvern Prep: Unionville (2022-23 District-1 5A runner up) returns their senior trio of Charlie Kammeier, James Anderson James Anderson 6'2" | CG Unionville | 2024 State PA , and Ryan Brown Ryan Brown 6'3" | CG Unionville | 2024 State PA . All three of these skilled guards can play at the next level. 2026 stretch-4 prospect James Brenner James Brenner 6'7" | SG Unionville | 2026 State PA is a match-up nightmare for opponents. Unionville’s 6’6” traditional small forward Nick Diehl Nick Diehl 6'6" | SF Unionville | 2024 State PA is an under the radar prospect. MP will be paced by scoring machine Ryan Williams Ryan Williams 6'3" | SG Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA (Northeastern commit). He will get plenty of support from a pair of elite 2027s in wing Nick Harken Nick Harken 6'4" | SF Malvern Prep | 2027 State PA and combo guard Marvin Reed Marvin Reed 5'10" | PG Malvern Prep | 2027 State PA . Also, for Malvern, keep an eye on guard Achilles Tucker-Turner. Tip-off is at 6:30PM at WCU.
Fri., December 8th…Archbishop Carroll at Exeter: This young, but outstanding Carroll lineup needs no introduction. Elite point guard Ian Williams Ian Williams 5'9" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2026 State PA and wing scorer Luca Foster Luca Foster 6'5" | SF Archbishop Carroll | 2026 State PA are two of the highest ranked 2026s in the area. Plus, Carroll has a two nationally rated 2027s in Munir Greig and Darrell Davis. Exeter returns two key players from last year’s 5A state tourney runner up team. The first is scoring wing Kevin Saenz Kevin Saenz 6'3" | SF Exeter | 2024 State PA who can drain threes and score off the dribble. The other is comb-guard Reece Garvin Reece Garvin 6'3" | PG Exeter | 2024 State PA . He is 3-point ace and can serve as a primary ball handler too. Tip-off is at 8:30PM
