Donofrio Classic: MVPs and All-Tourney Team

Last night at the Fellowship House gym in Conshohocken, Team Awesome defeated Positive Image Blue (104-94) to take home the 2024 Donofrio Classic tournament title. As always, the annual Donofrio Classic was an entertaining all-star level event that produced jaw dropping highlights and insane scoring performances.   Below is a review of the players who won MVP honors from this year's Donofrio Classic as well as a look at the extensive all-tournament team.     MVP Awards:   Deuce Jones – 6'3” / 2024 / College Achieve (NJ) / Team Rio / Combo Guard: This LaSalle University commit proved once again that he is a walking bucket. Jones poured in 47 points during Team Awesome's semifinal win. His prolific scoring continued in the title game as Jones posted 38 points in that victory. Jones (20 ppg. in 2023-24) has a gift for getting into the paint off the bonce and then converting through contact. When those drives produce foul calls, Jones calmly steps to the line and knock down the freebies.   [player_tooltip player_id='1173986' first='Fazl' last='Oshodi'] – 6'3″ / 2024 / Friends Central / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard: “Tricky Faz” had a fantastic senior season as he averaged 14 points per contest and was named as a 1st Team All-FSL selection. Oshodi's elite scoring and distributing helped push Positive Blue Image to championship game. Across his last two Donofrio Classic games, Oshodi averaged 12 points and 6 assists per night. Last week in the Donofrio Classic tourney he posted 33 points (9 triples). Oshodi remains unsigned and college coaches need to contact this kid immediately.    All-Tournament Team:   [player_tooltip player_id='1189096' first='Jalil' last='Bethea'] – 6'3” / 2024 / Archbishop Wood / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Shooting Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1486754' first='TJ' last='Bryson'] – 5'10″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1865348' first='Jaen' last='Chatman'] – 6'2″ / 2025 / East Stroudsburg South / NJ Panthers / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1460781' first='Jalen' last='Chiles'] – 6'1” / 2025 / Friends Select / BW Elite / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1116013' first='Jaden' last='Colzie'] – 5'11” / 2024 / Plymouth Whitemarsh / BW Elite / Point Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1850270' first='Abdrahaman' last='Coulibaly'] – 6'3″ / 2024 / West Philadelphia / BW Elite / Wing   [player_tooltip player_id='1608275' first='Jordan' last='Dill'] – 6'1″ / 2026 / Germantown Friends / Team Melo EYBL / Point Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1460800' first='Jordan' last='Ellerbee'] – 6'2” / St. Joe's Prep / NJ Scholars EYBL / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1117679' first='Macon' last='Emory'] – 6'8” / 2024 / Perkiomen School / Team Melo / Wing   Jackson Gaffney – 6'8” / 2024 / Rocktop Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Shooting Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1382984' first='Matt' last='Gardler'] – 5'11” / 2025 / Marple Newtown / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Shooting Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='2235863' first='Matt' last='Gilhool'] – 6'10″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Power Forward   [player_tooltip player_id='933048' first='Tristen' last='Guillouette'] – 6'9″ / 2024 / George School / NJ Scholars EYBL / Power Forward   [player_tooltip player_id='1202209' first='Jalen' last='Harper'] – 6'4” / 2024 / St. Joe's Prep / Shoreshots Rio UAA / Wing   [player_tooltip player_id='1990914' first='Dior' last='Kennedy'] – 6'3” / 2024 / Coatesville / PA Coalition / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='2120393' first='Owen' last='McCabe'] – 5'10” / 2024 / Lower Merion / LM Wildcats / Combo Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1406792' first='Zaahir' last='Muhammad-Gray'] – 6'5″ / 2026 / Imhotep Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Small Forward   [player_tooltip player_id='1173991' first='Jaden' last='Murray'] – 6'6″ / 2024 / Archbishop Ryan / Philly Revolution / Small Forward   [player_tooltip player_id='1613878' first='RJ' last='Smith'] – 5'9″ / 2026 / Imhotep Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Point Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='1136565' first='Jake' last='West'] – 6'2″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] EYBL / Point Guard   [player_tooltip player_id='991421' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] – 6'3” / 2024 / Malvern Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Combo Guard
