Tue., February 20th…Perkiomen Valley at CB East: Perk Valley’s Julian Sadler Julian Sadler 6'1" | CG Perkiomen Valley | 2024 State PA (20+ ppg.) remains one of the favorites to win the PAC Player of the Year award. When you team Sadler with shooting guard Kyle Shawaluk Kyle Shawaluk 6'4" | SG Perkiomen Valley | 2024 State PA and wing Jakob Harken Jakob Harken 6'1" | CG Perkiomen Valley | 2025 State PA you get an offensive trio that is extremely difficult to contain. 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. That group of CB East prospects can splash threes all day. As a nice bonus, 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
Tue., February 20th…Plymouth Whitemarsh at Chester: “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 Jaden Colzie Jaden Colzie 6'0" | PG Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2024 State PA at the helm. Colzie is the top unsigned guards in the area. Supporting Colzie will be stretch-4 prospect Jahseir Sayles Jahseir Sayles 6'6" | SF Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2024 State PA and shooting guard Mani Sajid Mani Sajid 6'3" | SG Plymouth Whitemarsh | 2026 State PA . Sajid is a 3-point ace.Chester boasts 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-Payne is a skilled three-level scoring machine. 6’5” athletes Toy and Williams provide interior and transition point production for Chester. Tipoff is at 7:00PM
Tue., February 20th…Hill School at Phelps School: This 2nd Round PAISAA state tourney game features No. 1 seed Phelps vs. No. 8 seed Hill. Athletic wing scorer Ethan Johnston Ethan Johnston 6'5" | CG Hill School | 2026 State PA and elusive point guard Jacob Meachem Jacob Meachem 5'8" | PG Hill School | 2025 State PA 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 Will Riley Will Riley 6'7" | SF Phelps School | 2025 State #29 Nation PA . He is our No. 1 ranked 2025 prospect. Still, college coaches and opponents need to watch for hybrid-forward prospect Onyx Nnani Onyx Nnani 6'8" | PF Phelps School | 2025 State PA , center Justin Houser Justin Houser 7'0" | C Phelps School | 2025 State PA , combo guard Jacob Hudson Jacob Hudson 6'3" | CG Phelps School | 2024 State PA and small forward Kodi Johnson Kodi Johnson 6'6" | SF Phelps School | 2025 State PA . All four of them are capable of scoring 20-points on a given day. Tipoff is at 4:00PM
Wed., February 21st…Father Judge vs. Roman Catholic: 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 Derrick Morton-Rivera Derrick Morton-Rivera 6'4" | SG Father Judge | 2026 State PA (16.4 ppg.; 35% on 3PA), Kevair Kennedy Kevair Kennedy 6'1" | PG Father Judge | 2025 State PA (16 / 6 / 6 per game) and Laquan Byrd Laquan Byrd 6'3" | SF Father Judge | 2024 State PA (13.7 ppg. & 7.3 rpg.; 37% on 3s).

Roman standout big man Shareef Jackson Shareef Jackson 6'9" | C Roman Catholic | 2025 State #249 Nation PA (17.5 ppg. & 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 Travis Reed Jr Travis Reed Jr 6'4" | SG Roman Catholic | 2024 State PA ., Robert Cottrell Robert Cottrell 6'0" | CG Roman Catholic | 2024 State PA and Kabrien Goss Kabrien Goss 5'7" | CG Roman Catholic | 2024 PA .

Fri., February 23rd…Reading at Carlisle: We are jumping ahead here, because prior to this potential match-up Reading will be heavily favored in their District 3-6A 1st 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 Nick Chapman Nick Chapman 5'10" | CG Reading | 2024 State PA . Running with those two is dynamic freshman guard Jeremiah Camara and multi-skilled wing Weshly Rosario Weshly Rosario 5'10" | PG Reading | 2026 State PA .
