Tue., January 23rd…Constitution at Dobbins Tech: 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 Kyree Latimer Kyree Latimer 6'3" | CG Constitution | 2024 State PA , combo guard Perry Fields Perry Fields 6'1" | CG Constitution | 2024 State PA and 6’5” bucket getter Amir Speights Amir Speights 6'4" | PF Constitution | 2024 State PA . Running with those three is 3-point ace Talasi Henderson Talasi Henderson 6'1" | CG Constitution | 2025 State PA . Meanwhile Dobbins stands at 12-5 (5-1) this season. Their lineup features a host of college prospects including wing scorer Zach Campbell Zach Campbell 6'3" | SG Dobbins Tech | 2024 State PA and point man Saleem Hudson as well as guards Haneef Davis and Jarrell Little Jarrell Little 6'1" | CG Dobbins Tech | 2025 State PA . Tipoff is at 3:15PM
Wed., January 24th…Archbishop Wood at St. Joe’s Prep: 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. Jalil Bethea Jalil Bethea 6'4" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2024 State #5 Nation PA (21 ppg.; Miami commit) and Josh Reed Josh Reed 6'3" | CG Archbishop Wood | 2024 State PA (20 ppg.; Drexel commit) form one of the top scoring duos in the region. Deuce Maxey Deuce Maxey 6'2" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2025 State PA , Milan Dean Milan Dean 6'3" | SF Archbishop Wood | 2025 State #286 Nation PA . Mike Green and Brady MacAdams Brady MacAdams 6'3" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2026 State PA 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 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 , and Jordan Ellerbee Jordan Ellerbee 6'2" | CG St. Joseph’s Prep | 2025 State PA as well as seniors Jalen Harper Jalen Harper 6'4" | PG St. Joseph’s Prep | 2024 State PA and Matthew Gorman (Catholic Univ. commit). All five can go off for 20+ points on a given night. Tipoff is at 7:00PM
Thurs., January 25th…Neshaminy at CB East: 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 Emeer Coombs Emeer Coombs 5'9" | PG Neshaminy | 2024 State PA , wing Nate Townsend Nate Townsend 6'2" | CG Neshaminy | 2024 State PA , shooting guard Guy Horton and combo guard Dan Raivitch Dan Raivitch 5'10" | CG Neshaminy | 2025 State PA can equal the scoring prowess of CB East’s lineup. East’s lineup includes senior guards Jacob Cummiskey Jacob Cummiskey 6'3" | CG Central Bucks East | 2024 State PA (1,000-point scorer), Justin DiRoberto Justin DiRoberto 6'2" | PG Central Bucks East | 2024 State PA and Dhruv Mukund. Those three have been torching the nets from behind the arc. Plus, CB East boasts 2025 wing prospect Nolan Behm Nolan Behm 6'4" | SF Central Bucks East | 2025 State PA and 6’6” forward Miles Demby. Tipoff is at 7:00PM
Fri., January 26th…Coatesville at Chester: 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 Dior Kennedy Dior Kennedy 6'2" | CG Coatesville | 2024 State PA and Zuri Harris Zuri Harris 5'11" | CG Coatesville | 2024 State PA . Kennedy and Harris are two of the up uncommitted backcourt prospects in the area. Marquis Peoples (SG) and hybrid-forward Amon Fowlkes Amon Fowlkes 5'8" | CG Coatesville | 2025 State PA are two other 2024s to watch. Leading the resurgence at Chester (13-1) this year is the senior trio of Dante Atkinson-Payne, Dominic Toy Dominic Toy 6'5" | PF Chester | 2024 State PA (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. Tipoff is at 6:45PM.
Fri., January 26th…Malvern Prep at Episcopal Academy: 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 Ryan Williams Ryan Williams 6'3" | SG Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA (23 ppg.; Northeastern commit) as well as 2027 wing scorer Nick Harken Nick Harken 6'4" | SF Malvern Prep | 2027 PA and 2027 point guard Marvin Reed Marvin Reed 5'10" | PG Malvern Prep 2027 | 2027 PA . 2024 shooting guard Ryan Pegg Ryan Pegg 6'0" | SG Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA is finally back from injury and has provided additional scoring punch. The No. 1 option for Episcopal will be dead eye shooting guard Kevin McCarthy Kevin McCarthy 6'4" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2024 State PA (21 ppg.; Army commit). McCarthy will get plenty of support from stretch-4 prospect Timmy Dennis Timmy Dennis 6'8" | PF Episcopal Academy | 2026 State PA , multi-skilled combo guard Matt McCarthy Matt McCarthy 6'2" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2025 State PA (11 ppg.) and 3-point sniper Reggie King Reggie King 6'3" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2026 State PA . Tipoff is at 7:00PM
