Wed., January 10th…Hill School at George School: Early on in 2023-24 Hill School is leaning heavily on their trio of outstanding perimeter prospects: point man Jacob Meachem Jacob Meachem 5'8" | PG Hill School | 2025 State PA (offer from Bucknell), shooting guard Ethan Johnston Ethan Johnston 6'5" | CG Hill School | 2026 State PA (offer from Fordham) and slasher wing Nehemiah Holmes Nehemiah Holmes 6'6" | SG Hill School | 2024 State PA .

Thurs., January 11th…Perkiomen Valley at Spring Ford: This highly anticipated game between District 1-6A powers will feature a host of college prospects.

Fri., January 12th…Bonner & Prendergast at St. Joe’s Prep: This PCL contest will be an interesting battle of conflicting styles. Bonner’s roster features length that may cause issues for SJP’s outstanding five guard lineup. For Bonner, 6’6” small forward Touari “Deuce” Ketner Touari “Deuce” Ketner 6'7" | PF Bonner-Prendergast | 2024 State PA and 6’5” wing Kevin Rucker Kevin Rucker 6'5" | SG Bonner-Prendergast | 2024 State PA have been unstoppable early on. 6’1” guard Reggie Selden, Jr. Reggie Selden, Jr. 6'2" | CG Bonner-Prendergast | 2024 State PA has recently picked up his scoring efforts too. As a bonus, 2027s Korey Francis Korey Francis 6'2" | CG Bonner-Prendie | 2027 PA (6’1”) has performed well of late. SJP is running a five-guard starting lineup this season. That collection of standout guards — Jaron McKie Jaron McKie 6'2" | SG St. Joseph's Prep | 2025 State #74 Nation PA , Olin Chamberlain Olin Chamberlain 6'0" | PG St Joseph's Prep | 2025 State PA , Jordan Ellerbee Jordan Ellerbee 6'2" | CG St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA , Jalen Harper Jalen Harper 6'4" | PG St. Joseph’s Prep | 2024 State PA , and Matthew Gorman (Catholic Univ. commit) are all capable of hitting for 20+ points on a given night. But this week, we will be curious to witness how this group defends Bonner’ size advantage.
Sat., January 13th… Plymouth Whitemarsh vs. Methacton: “P-Dub” scoring point man Jaden Colzie Jaden Colzie 6'0" | PG Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2024 State PA (top unsigned PG in SEPA), stretch-4 prospect Jahseir Sayles Jahseir Sayles 6'6" | SF Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2024 State PA and 3-point sniper Mani Sajid Mani Sajid 6'3" | SG Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2026 State PA form one of the most lethal scoring trios in the region. Senior Ben Marsico is making nice contributions too. Methacton seniors Alex Hermann Alex Hermann 6'3" | CG Methacton | 2024 State PA , Anthony Daddazio and Sal Iemmello Sal Iemmello 5'11" | CG Methacton | 2025 State PA are excelling this season. College coaches are sleeping on these 2024 prospects. Plus, the unexpected emergence of lefty scoring guard Christian Matos Christian Matos 6'1" | CG Methacton | 2026 State PA (2026) has provided Methacton with another talented backcourt option. Tip-off is at 5:00PM.
