Roman Kuelsa | 6’2 G 2024
After a quiet first quarter, Kuelsa got going in the second with two threes off-the-catch to cut into the deficit. With the defense focused on Phillips, the junior marksman opened up the fourth by popping another. He then used his shooting prowess to score on a baseline drive and a backdoor cut. His 9 points in the fourth sparked a Bucks run that brought them within 3 points of UD. Kuelsa finished with 15 points and 2 steals
Ryan Mulroy Ryan Mulroy 6'3" | SF Upper Dublin | 2025 State PA | 6’3 W 2025 Upper Dublin
Mulroy brought the intensity for UD and fueled them in the win. He drove, cut, and shot his way to a team-high 13 points, 8 of which came in the first quarter. Then, in the fourth when the Cards needed a bucket, Mulroy hit a tough mid-range jumper. He also grabbed clutch rebounds (5) and went all out defensively (2 steals & 1 block).
Julian Phillips | 6’3 G 2024 Central Bucks West
Routinely making shots to keep CB West alive, Phillips led all participants with 17 points. He didn’t force anything. He simply attacked closeouts and drove to the hoop. Even when he could get all the way there, Phillips had the strength and footwork to get the ball up for two. The attention he drew opened up space for Kuelsa and others.
Idris Rines Idris Rines 6'5" | PF Upper Dublin | 2025 State PA | 6’4 F 2025 Upper Dublin
While the other Cardinals hit shots inside the arc, Rhines complimented them from outside. The stretch forward hit three trey-balls — two in the opening quarter of action. He found the bottom of the net for a third time as the trailer in transition in quarter number three. Finally, late in the game when they needed a stop, Rhines shutdown a CBW drive with a huge block. He totalled 11 points and 4 boards.
Final: UD 49, CB West 43
