Upper Moreland (8) at Unionville (1)
Nick Diehl Nick Diehl 6'6" | SF Unionville | 2024 State PA – 6’6” / 2024 / Unionville / Small Forward: This long and sturdy lefty can produce points in the paint, the mid-range and along the baseline. Diehl excels at grabbing offensive rebounds and then converting through contact. Earlier this month Diehl posted 16 points and 6 rebounds in a win over Sun Valley. At the other end of the court, he is an excellent rim protector and dominates the glass. Diehl is committed to Tulane for baseball, but he should think about walking on to the MBB team.
Pottstown (5) at Phoenixville (4)
Jurrell Young Jurrell Young 6'2" | SF Pottstown | 2024 PA – 6’2” / 2024 / Pottstown / Small Forward: Running with the Jackson brothers (Sadeeq and Abdul) is one of the best pure shooters in the Pioneer Athletic Conference. In addition to splashing jumpers from all over the court, Young is a fantastic transition scorer. Last week he notched 20 points in Pottstown’s 1st Round win over a solid WC East team. During the first week of February, Young dropped 17 points (2 threes) in a win over Norristown.
Penncrest (10) at Upper Dublin (2)
Brady Fogle – 6’4” / 2024 / Upper Dublin / Next Play / Shooting Guard: Fogle isthe ultimate “glue guy” with the bonus of owning a highly accurate 3-point stroke. When Fogle is not lacing triples, he can run as a secondary ball handler who can score or facilitate for teammates. His possesses a high IQ and is a plus defender too. Two weeks ago, Fogle recorded 16 points (2 threes) and 4 rebounds in UD’s defeat of Neshaminy. In early February, he drained 5 threes on his way to 20 points against Abington.
Will Stanton – 5’11” / 2026 / Penncrest / PA Hoops Academy / Point Guard: Stanton is a hardnosed, floor general style of point guard. He can push the ball on the fast break, score off the dibble and direct half-court sets. When he is left open, Stanton will drain threes. On defense he has knack for cutting through passing lanes for steals. In a recent game vs. Springfield, Stanton tallied 14 points (2 threes).
Sun Valley (6) at Radnor (3)
Kaiden Robinson Kaiden Robinson 6'2" | PG Sun Valley | 2025 PA – 6’2” / 2025 / Sun Valley / Next Play / Point Guard: Robinson isa three-sport athlete who also plays soccer and runs track. He excels on the hoops court thanks to his speed, change of direction handles, and ability to knock down jumpers from anywhere on the floor. On February 8th, Sun Valley staged a historic comeback win (trailed 21-0) over Downingtown West. During that victory Robinson netted 12 points (1 three). Earlier this season Robinson poured in 22 points in a win over SLA Beeber.
