<p><strong>Tue., January 16<sup>th</sup>…Northeast at Engineering & Sciences:</strong> Both these PPL teams are undefeated in league play. So, this is obviously a big game. For Northeast, the senior duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1990925' first='Darrius' last='Gaeta'] (15 ppg.) and [player_tooltip player_id='2224495' first='Jalen' last='Lee-Womack'] (9 ppg.) have pushed the squad to a 12-1 start his season. 2025 Mike Freeman (10 ppg.) will also be a major factor in this contest. E&S point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1888746' first='Fareed' last='Brown'] has been a dynamic scorer this year. He has already posted multiple 30-point games. Slasher wing [player_tooltip player_id='1848488' first='Anthony' last='Brown, Jr.'] is a matchup nightmare for opponents. <em>Tipoff is at 3:15 PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Tue., January 16<sup>th</sup>…Downingtown West at West Chester Henderson:</strong> D-West has a tough task ahead of them as they travel to face the No. 1 ranked team in District 1-6A. Their upset effort will be led by a pair of extraordinary 2025s in [player_tooltip player_id='1379429' first='Donovan' last='Fromhartz'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1601167' first='Zeke' last='Staz']. Both stretch-4 style players are potential DI prospects. Guards Antonio Lewis (2024) and [player_tooltip player_id='2336898' first='Brady' last='Moore'] (2025) should contribute heavily for D-West in this game too. Henderson's epic senior class of scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='1589404' first='Connor' last='Fleet'] (14 ppg. & 8.5 rpg.), power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1118630' first='Nelson' last='Lamizana'] (30-spot this season; multiple double-doubles) and slasher wing [player_tooltip player_id='1589269' first='Nyle' last='Ralph-Beyer'] (Sacred Heart commit) have gotten WC Henderson off to an 12-2 start. <em>Tipoff is at 6:45 PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Thurs., January 18<sup>th</sup>…Lower Merion at Radnor:</strong> This is a contest between two teams off to a fantastic start in 2023-24. Lower Merion is undefeated in the Central League (14-1; 9-0) and is ranked No. 2 in District 1-6A. Meanwhile Radnor is out to a 10-2 start, sits in 2<sup>nd</sup> place in the Central League and is ranked No. 3 in District 1-5A. A large part of LM's success has come thanks to the outstanding play of senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2120393' first='Owen' last='McCabe'] (18.7 ppg.) and senior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1850321' first='John' last='Mobley'] (15.8 ppg.). Fellow senior Adam Herrenkohl (16 ppg. over last 3 contests) has been excellent too. Radnor's Class of 2024 is finally getting their chance to shine, and they have thrived in the spotlight. Point guard Kessler Cox (14 ppg.), small forward [player_tooltip player_id='2383175' first='Elijah' last='Sellers'] (10.6 ppg.) and point-forward Henry Pierce (46% on 3s) have paced the Raptors winning ways. <em>Tipoff is at 7:00 PM.</em></p>

<p><strong>Fri., January 19th…SCH Academy at Malvern Prep:</strong> Two of the top teams in the Inter-Ac take the floor in this Friday night contest.
