BAL Playoffs: Semifinals Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the prospects who impressed during the semifinal games of the Bicentennial Athletic League post season tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Delaware County CS defeats Faith Christian, 81-53</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Micaiah “Ky” Hughes </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2025 / Faith Christian / Shooting Guard: </strong>Hughes is one of the best kept secrets in the BAL. He is a long and athletic prospect with good court awareness. Hughes (16 points) drained threes, scored on the fast break as well as in the paint. On defense, Hughes in an underrated shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1466596' first='Caleb' last='Jameson'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2025 / Delaware County Christian / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Wing:</strong> Jameson (16 points) is a prospect who is flying under the radar on this loaded DCCS roster. He owns considerable size and can pop threes from all around the arc. Jameson is a solid rebounder at both ends too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1466616' first='Beau' last='Lyren'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / 2025 / Delaware County Christian / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard:</strong> Lyren poured in 19 points (4 triples) in Delco's quarterfinals win over Jenkintown. He followed up that performance with a 13-point effort (2 threes) in this semifinal win. Obviously Lyren can shoot it from all over the floor, but he is also a shifty ball handler with a sneaky burst of speed and a high IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1271436' first='Khamai' last='Orange'] </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2025 / Delaware County Christian / PA Hoops Academy / Point Guard:</strong> Orange continues play well this post season in his role as a scoring point guard. He notched 21 points (3 treys) in the opening round. Next, he scored 10 points in 2^nd round. Then Orange registered 15 points in the semis. In this win for DCCS, Orange once again showed that he can produce points at all three levels. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Dock Mennonite defeats MaST Charter, 46-34</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1867336' first='Tony' last='Martin'] </strong><strong>– 6'2″ / 2024 / Dock Mennonite / [program_tooltip program_id='2243610' first='Eastern' last='PA Elite'] / Wing:</strong> Martin is a long, multi-skilled athlete who can hit triples from deep, slash to the cup for a catch and lay-in and score in transition. Martin is a plus defender too. He recorded 9 points (1 three) in this win for Dock. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Shawn Nunez </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2026 / MaST Charter / Wing: </strong>Nunez is a hybrid guard-forward prospect with a smooth 3-point stroke that stretches the floor for MaST. He can also score in the mid-range with his face up game. Nunez (16 points) is a threat to get out on the fast break too. Nunez's lengthy wingspan and hops will catch opponents by surprise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2319603' first='Justin' last='Panaia'] </strong><strong>– 6'1” / 2025 / Dock Mennonite / PSB Philly / Point Guard: </strong>Dock was missing two starters in this contest and Panaia stepped up in a big way<strong> (</strong>11 points; 1 made three). Panaia is a crafty lead guard with a filthy dribble pull-up game. Plus, he can splash threes and is an excellent live dribble distributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
