5 SEPA Games to Watch this Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of five <em>“must see”</em> games taking place this week in southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thur., December 28^th…Westtown School vs. Bishop McNamara (MD):</strong> At the legendary Salm Dunk to the Beach showcase in Delaware, Westtown will face a traditional Maryland powerhouse squad. But with the way talented forward [player_tooltip player_id='1202411' first='Daveyon' last='Lydner'] and Lafayette commit [player_tooltip player_id='1477774' first='Malik' last='Rasul'] have been playing of late, this matchup should not be a problem. Running with those two are Westtown's dynamic guard quartet of [player_tooltip player_id='1484307' first='Jayden' last='Forsythe'], [player_tooltip player_id='1369805' first='Jayden' last='Kelsey'], [player_tooltip player_id='1271438' first='Jahmare' last='Memphis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1383005' first='Cameron' last='Wallace']. All four of them are DI prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thur., December 28^th…West Chester Henderson vs. Plymouth Whitemarsh: </strong>Two of the top 6A public school teams in the state will face off in this contest. Henderson's talented senior class of scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='1589404' first='Connor' last='Fleet'], power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1118630' first='Nelson' last='Lamizana'] (30-spot last week) and slasher wing [player_tooltip player_id='1589269' first='Nyle' last='Ralph-Beyer'] (Sacred Heart commit) have gotten WC Henderson off to an 8-1. But “P-Dub” has the talent to hand them another loss. Point guard extraordinaire [player_tooltip player_id='1116013' first='Jaden' last='Colzie'] is the top unsigned floor general in the area. Stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1589161' first='Jahseir' last='Sayles'] can beat opponents from behind the arc or in transition. Plus, shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1576723' first='Mani' last='Sajid'] is an absolute 3-point sniper. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thur., December 28^th…Radnor at Episcopal Academy:</strong> Radnor is off to a surprising 6-1 start thanks to the efforts of their underrated senior class. Point-forward Henry Pierce, combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1287326' first='Michael' last='Savadove'] and small forward [player_tooltip player_id='2383175' first='Elijah' last='Sellers'] are 2024s who have made significant contributions early on. The Raptors will need their “A-Game” if they are going to pull off the upset against an EA squad that is loaded with college prospects. Leading the charge for Episcopal will be standout shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1188249' first='Kevin' last='McCarthy'] (Army commit), stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1661246' first='Timmy' last='Dennis'] and multi-skilled combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2028258' first='Matt' last='McCarthy']. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri.,</strong> <strong>December 29^th…Academy of New Church vs. Mt Zion (MD):</strong> This highly anticipated matchup is part of the Governor's Challenge event. ANC shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2229148' first='Bahsil' last='Laster'] (16 ppg.) has gotten off to a tremendous start this season. Running with Laster is their high-level guard duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1411649' first='Tobe' last='Nwobu, Jr.'] ANC's [player_tooltip player_id='2056714' first='Ryan' last='Warren'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2047739' first='Caleb' last='Alston-Nelson'] are pair of 6'5” forwards who will play at the next level too. Mt Zion's lineup features Malachi Palmer, a Pennsylvania native and the former No. 1 ranked player in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sun., December 31^st…Haverford School at Dobbins Tech:</strong> The Fords are coming off a big win over PCL contender Father Judge. Standout shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham'] posted 27 points in that victory. Running with Graham against Dobbins will be point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1867326' first='KJ' last='Carson'] and small forward [player_tooltip player_id='2237156' first='Jacob' last='Becker']. The Dobbins lineup features a host of college prospects including wing scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1990921' first='Zach' last='Campbell'] and point man Saleem Hudson. Combo guards Haneef Davis and [player_tooltip player_id='2328782' first='Jarrell' last='Little'] are players to watch as well. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
