5 SEPA Games to Watch This Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five <em>“must see”</em> games taking place in southeastern Pennsylvania this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., January 23rd…Constitution at Dobbins Tech: </strong>This is a matchup of two of the best teams in the PPL. Constitution has raced out to a 12-4 (6-1) start this season. A large part of their success has been thanks to their perimeter trio of floor general [player_tooltip player_id='1130841' first='Kyree' last='Latimer'], combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1848507' first='Perry' last='Fields'] and 6'5” bucket getter [player_tooltip player_id='1123887' first='Amir' last='Speights']. Running with those three is 3-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='1865352' first='Talasi' last='Henderson']. Meanwhile Dobbins stands at 12-5 (5-1) this season. Their lineup features a host of college prospects including wing scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1990921' first='Zach' last='Campbell'] and point man Saleem Hudson as well as guards Haneef Davis and [player_tooltip player_id='2328782' first='Jarrell' last='Little']. <em>Tipoff is at 3:15PM</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wed., January 24^th…Archbishop Wood at St. Joe's Prep:</strong> In this contest Wood will be looking to pull off a minor upset, and end SJP's undefeated Catholic League season. They have the talent to do just that. [player_tooltip player_id='1189096' first='Jalil' last='Bethea'] (21 ppg.; Miami commit) and [player_tooltip player_id='1483181' first='Josh' last='Reed'] (20 ppg.; Drexel commit) form one of the top scoring duos in the region. [player_tooltip player_id='1382983' first='Deuce' last='Maxey'], [player_tooltip player_id='1188627' first='Milan' last='Dean']. Mike Green and [player_tooltip player_id='2247394' first='Brady' last='MacAdams'] are tremendous running mates for those two. SJP boasts a five-guard lineup that is extraordinarily balanced and skilled. That starting five features 2025 prospects [player_tooltip player_id='1197607' first='Jaron' last='McKie'], [player_tooltip player_id='1188621' first='Olin' last='Chamberlain'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1460800' first='Jordan' last='Ellerbee'] as well as seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1202209' first='Jalen' last='Harper'] and Matthew Gorman (Catholic Univ. commit). All five can go off for 20+ points on a given night. <em>Tipoff is at 7:00PM</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thurs., January 25^th…Neshaminy at CB East: </strong>CB East has assembled an impressive 14-2 record. So, if Neshaminy (9-6) can win this game, on paper it would be a significant upset. On the court, Neshaminy matches up well with CB East. Point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1477751' first='Emeer' last='Coombs'], wing [player_tooltip player_id='1678657' first='Nate' last='Townsend'], shooting guard Guy Horton and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1601168' first='Dan' last='Raivitch'] can equal the scoring prowess of CB East's lineup. East's lineup includes senior guards [player_tooltip player_id='1045684' first='Jacob' last='Cummiskey'] (1,000-point scorer), [player_tooltip player_id='1598073' first='Justin' last='DiRoberto'] and Dhruv Mukund. Those three have been torching the nets from behind the arc. Plus, CB East boasts 2025 wing prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2328806' first='Nolan' last='Behm'] and 6'6” forward Miles Demby. <em>Tipoff is at 7:00PM</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri., January 26^th…Coatesville at Chester: </strong>Coatesville vs. Chester will be an intriguing match-up of two rosters that feature a great deal of talented 2024s. Coatesville is led by their elite backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id='1990914' first='Dior' last='Kennedy'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1850287' first='Zuri' last='Harris']. Kennedy and Harris are two of the up uncommitted backcourt prospects in the area. Marquis Peoples (SG) and hybrid-forward [player_tooltip player_id='1379430' first='Amon' last='Fowlkes'] are two other 2024s to watch. Leading the resurgence at Chester (13-1) this year is the senior trio of Dante Atkinson-Payne, [player_tooltip player_id='1848489' first='Dominic' last='Toy'] (UConn football commit) and Calvin Williams. Atkinson is a three-level scoring guard. Toy and Williams are two 6'5” athletes with solid frames who score in transition and on the interior. <em>Tipoff is at 6:45PM.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri., January 26^th…Malvern Prep at Episcopal Academy: </strong>We hope the scoreboard operator is ready for this game because these Inter-Ac teams can fill it up. Taking the court for MP will be unstoppable combo-guard [player_tooltip player_id='991421' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] (23 ppg.; Northeastern commit) as well as 2027 wing scorer [player_tooltip player_id='2194375' first='Nick' last='Harken'] and 2027 point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1406896' first='Marvin' last='Reed']. 2024 shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1123923' first='Ryan' last='Pegg'] is finally back from injury and has provided additional scoring punch. The No. 1 option for Episcopal will be dead eye shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1188249' first='Kevin' last='McCarthy'] (21 ppg.; Army commit). McCarthy will get plenty of support from stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1661246' first='Timmy' last='Dennis'], multi-skilled combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2028258' first='Matt' last='McCarthy'] (11 ppg.) and 3-point sniper [player_tooltip player_id='1454261' first='Reggie' last='King']. <em>Tipoff is at 7:00PM</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
