<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five <em>“must see”</em> game staking place in southeastern Pennsylvania this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., February 20^th…Perkiomen Valley at CB East: </strong>Perk Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='1589403' first='Julian' last='Sadler'] (20+ ppg.) remains one of the favorites to win the PAC Player of the Year award. When you team Sadler with shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1848628' first='Kyle' last='Shawaluk'] and wing [player_tooltip player_id='1460797' first='Jakob' last='Harken'] you get an offensive trio that is extremely difficult to contain. 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. That group of CB East prospects can splash threes all day. As a nice bonus, 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><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., February 20^th…Plymouth Whitemarsh at Chester: </strong>“P-Dub” is the reigning D1-6A champion. But if they want to repeat in 2024, they will have to get past an extraordinary Chester team. Good thing the Colonials have elite floor general [player_tooltip player_id='1116013' first='Jaden' last='Colzie'] at the helm. Colzie is the top unsigned guards in the area. Supporting Colzie will be stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1589161' first='Jahseir' last='Sayles'] and shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1576723' first='Mani' last='Sajid']. Sajid is a 3-point ace.Chester boasts the senior trio of Dante Atkinson-Payne, [player_tooltip player_id='1848489' first='Dominic' last='Toy'] (UConn football commit) and Calvin Williams. Atkinson-Payne is a skilled three-level scoring machine. 6'5” athletes Toy and Williams provide interior and transition point production for Chester. <em>Tipoff is at 7:00PM </em><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tue., February 20^th…Hill School at Phelps School: </strong>This 2^nd Round PAISAA state tourney game features No. 1 seed Phelps vs. No. 8 seed Hill. Athletic wing scorer [player_tooltip player_id='2251704' first='Ethan' last='Johnston'] and elusive point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1196125' first='Jacob' last='Meachem'] are the top options for Hill. The scoring skills of shooting guard Nemiah Holmes and stretch-4 Aivaras Uosis must be respected by the opposition as well. The Phelps roster is stacked with college prospects, but everyone plays off superstar [player_tooltip player_id='1865248' first='Will' last='Riley']. He is our No. 1 ranked 2025 prospect. Still, college coaches and opponents need to watch for hybrid-forward prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1601169' first='Onyx' last='Nnani'], center [player_tooltip player_id='1589088' first='Justin' last='Houser'], combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1990922' first='Jacob' last='Hudson'] and small forward [player_tooltip player_id='2047528' first='Kodi' last='Johnson']. All four of them are capable of scoring 20-points on a given day. &nbsp;<em>Tipoff is at 4:00PM </em><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wed., February 21^st…Father Judge vs. Roman Catholic:</strong> Father Judge is one of the hottest teams in the region and the Cinderella story of the PCL tournament. Leading FJ's charge are guard prospects [player_tooltip player_id='1611959' first='Derrick' last='Morton-Rivera'] (16.4 ppg.; 35% on 3PA), [player_tooltip player_id='1197608' first='Kevair' last='Kennedy'] (16 / 6 / 6 per game) and [player_tooltip player_id='1123891' first='Laquan' last='Byrd'] (13.7 ppg. &amp; 7.3 rpg.; 37% on 3s). Of late 6'7” forward [player_tooltip player_id='1990916' first='Anthony' last='Lilly'] has made major contributions for FJ too. Roman standout big man [player_tooltip player_id='1188620' first='Shareef' last='Jackson'] (17.5 ppg. &amp; 10.6 rpg.) has returned from missing a handful games because of injury and dominated. But if Roman is going to win this game, Jackson will need support on the perimeter from guards [player_tooltip player_id='2226400' first='Travis' last='Reed Jr']., [player_tooltip player_id='1990918' first='Robert' last='Cottrell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1547457' first='Kabrien' last='Goss']. <em>Tipoff is at 6:15PM at The Palestra.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fri., February 23^rd…Reading at Carlisle:</strong> We are jumping ahead here, because prior to this potential match-up Reading will be heavily favored in their District 3-6A 1^st Round game vs. Penn Manor. Reading is the defending District 3-6A as well as state champions. They will be looking to repeat at both the district and state level behind the talented guard tandem of Yadiel Cruz and [player_tooltip player_id='1195389' first='Nick' last='Chapman']. Running with those two is dynamic freshman guard [player_tooltip player_id='2427273' first='Jeremiah' last='Camara'] and multi-skilled wing [player_tooltip player_id='2247350' first='Weshly' last='Rosario']. Carlisle is powered by the high scoring duo of [player_tooltip player_id='2391442' first='Parker' last='Smith'] (23.6 ppg.) and [player_tooltip player_id='2322845' first='Jaydon' last='Smith'] (Shippensburg commit). “The Smiths” are three level scorers who have each posted multiple 30-spots this season and were All Mid-Penn Conference selections. &nbsp;<em>Tipoff is at 7:00PM at The Palestra.</em> &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
