Zane Conlon Zane Conlon 6'5" | SF Devon Prep | 2025 State PA – 6’4″ / 2025 / Devon Prep / Team Final Red / Wing: Conlan’s outstanding 20-point effort out in Hershey this weekend secured the 3A state championship for Devon Pep. That performance capped off an extraordinary state tournament for his point-forward style prospect. Across the Tide’s last four state games Conlon averaged 19.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He posted 20 points (1 three) and 11 boards in 2nd Round as well as 15 points and 16 rebounds in the semifinals. During Devon’s double overtime upset of Executive Education in the 3A quarterfinals, Conlon (22 pts.; 3 3PM) popped the go ahead 3-pointer in the second OT.
Ahmad Nowell Ahmad Nowell 6'0" | PG Imhotep Charter | 2024 State #36 Nation PA – 6’1” / 2024 / Imhotep Charter / Team Final EYBL / Combo Guard: On Saturday this UConn commit and our No. 2 ranked 2024 prospect wrapped up yet another Philly triple crown – PPL, District 12, and PIAA state title winner. Nowell secured that final trophy by pouring in 20 points (2 3PM) in the 5A state championship game. The victory delivered a state title 3-peat for Nowell and Imhotep. In this weekend’s contest Nowell scored at every level, served as a primary ball handler, and played tenacious defense.
Ben Rill Ben Rill 6'8" | PF Central York | 2025 State PA – 6’9″/ 2025 / Central York / York Ballers / Power Forward: In CY’s state semifinal win, Rill simply destroyed Reading in the paint on his way to 28 points. So, it should not be a surprise that in the 6A state championship game, Rill once again dominated on the interior. In the 6A title contest, Rill used exhibited a deep bag of low post moves, worked the offensive glass, and flashed a nice jumper. When it was over, Rill had stuffed the stat book with 17 points and 6 boards as well as 2 blocks. As a result, he and his CY teammates cut the nets down in Hersey.
Ian Williams Ian Williams 5'9" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2026 State PA – 5’9″ / 2026 / Archbishop Carroll / NJ Scholars EYBL / Point Guard: Williams (13 ppg. & 6 apg.; 2nd Team All-PCL selection) is a dynamic points guard who can score, distribute, and defend. He also possesses the high IQ and all the other intangibles college coaches love. This month his tremendous point guard play pushed Carroll to the 4A state championship game. In that title contest he recorded 12 points; 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome WPIAL juggernaut Lincoln Park. In Carroll’s semifinal win Williams registered 17 points (1 triple), 6 rebounds and 6 dimes.
