<p>Below is a review of five prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who we believe can lead their team to the PIAA 5A state championship.</p>

<p>In addition to the prospect's talent level, a few other factors went into compiling this group of players. Items such as strength of regular season schedule, the skill level of key teammates and potential matchups in the 5A bracket were among the other variables considered.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1493066' first='James' last='Brenner'] </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / 2026 / Unionville / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Wing:</strong> Brenner is a versatile stretch-4 style prospect who already holds offers from Sacred Heart and Bryant University. He possesses a feathery jump shot, can score off the dribble or via quick post ups. He is an underrated open court threat too. This winter Brenner scored a season high 18 points on three separate occasions. In the District 1-5A semifinals Brenner posted 16 points and 8 rebounds. The Longhorns lineup of Brenner, plus their senior guard trio of [player_tooltip player_id='1850283' first='Ryan' last='Brown'], [player_tooltip player_id='1848627' first='James' last='Anderson'] and Charlie Kammeier cake walked to the District 1-5A title. We predict they could make a deep run in the state tournament too. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1865344' first='Adrian' last='Brito'] – 6'5” / 2025 / Pocono Mountain West / [program_tooltip program_id='2245515' first='NEPA' last='Elite'] / Small Forward: </strong>Brito is a traditional small forward with a sneaky accurate 3-point shot. He can dominate a game by scoring in the mid-range, from the baseline and in the paint. He is a beast on the glass as well. This season Brito averaged 17.8 ppg. He torched PM East for a season high 37 points (2 threes). During PMW's run to the District 11-5A title Brito posted 22 ppg. Brito, DI guard prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1608319' first='KJ' last='Coles'] and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1407082' first='Devin' last='Artis'] (Keystone College commit) form a scoring trio that is difficult to stop. We believe these three prospects can carry PMW far this month.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1850293' first='Max' last='Lebisky'] </strong><strong>– 6'5” / 2024 / Phoenixville / [program_tooltip program_id='2243610' first='Eastern' last='PA Elite'] / Wing: </strong>Lebisky is a 1<sup>st</sup> Team All-PAC selection with a high IQ, a smooth shooting touch and unique bully ball skills. The versatile Lebisky averaged 13 ppg. and led Phoenixville to the PAC tournament title. Lebisky netted 17 points and the game winner in that PAC championship game. Back in January he posted 22 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists in a win over Upper Merion. He holds an offer from West Chester University (D2). Lebisky will team with stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1867330' first='Deacon' last='Baratta'], wing [player_tooltip player_id='2400185' first='Dawson' last='Brown'] and shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2322850' first='Christian' last='Cervino'] to push Phoenixville through the 5A bracket.</p>

<p><strong>Roadblock: </strong>Potential 2<sup>nd</sup> Round matchup with Imhotep Charter</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406792' first='Zaahir' last='Muhammad-Gray'] </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / 2026 / Imhotep Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Small Forward: </strong>Muhammad-Gray is a long, athletic, and instinctive hybrid-forward. He excels in transition, can pop jumpers from all over the floor, score from the blocks and via the offensive glass. In 2023-24 Muhammad-Gray was a 1<sup>st</sup> Team All-PPL selection as he helped Imhotep rack up a 24-3 record along with the PPL title and the District 12-5A hardware. Muhammad-Grey's jaw dropping performance of the season was a double-double of 18 points and 15 rebounds against Lincoln. On defense, Muhammad-Gray is an intimidating rim protector. Running with Muhammad-Gray is all-world guard [player_tooltip player_id='1281786' first='Ahmad' last='Nowell'] (UConn commit), wing [player_tooltip player_id='1477721' first='Ma'Kye' last='Taylor'] (Albany commit), small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1173985' first='Jeremiah' last='White'], shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2047550' first='Carnell' last='Henderson'] and 2027 standout [player_tooltip player_id='2407095' first='Zion' last='Green']. With its loaded roster, it should not be a shock that Imhotep is the favorite to win the 5A state title.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213553' first='Thomas' last='Sorber'] </strong><strong>– 6'8″ / 2024 / Archbishop Ryan / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Power Forward:</strong> In 2023-24 the premiere big man in the region posted a stat line of 18.5 points, 11 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game while shooting 62% from the field. Sorber was the Co-MVP of the PCL and led Ryan to the PCL championship game. Hoops heads are still taking about the 41/19/10 triple double Sorber (Georgetown commit) recorded back in December. In addition to dominating the paint, Sorber will sprinkle in mid-range jumpers. While Sober holds down the interior, all-everything shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1192641' first='Darren' last='Williams'] (FGCU commit), wing [player_tooltip player_id='1173991' first='Jaden' last='Murray'] and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1848533' first='Ryan' last='Everett'] take care of business on the perimeter. That inside-outside scoring combination will take Ryan deep into March. </p>
