#3 Darrell Davis Darrell Davis 5'11" | PG Archbishop Carroll | 2027 State PA | 5’11 Archbishop Carroll
When Davis wasn’t snaking through the paint for crafty lay ups and kick-outs for three, he was stopping-and-popping in the mid-range. His comfort level orchestrated the offense and defense was intriguing.
#5 Munir Greig Munir Greig 6'6" | SF Archbishop Carroll | 2027 State PA | 6’6 Archbishop Carroll
With his long arms, Greig got his hands into passing lanes to create turnovers and extended around defenders for layups. The 6’6 wing added some secondary playmaking as well.
#11 Joshua Rivera | 6’6 Archbishop Stepinac
Rivera didn’t make or take a high volume of shots, but that didn’t stop him from mixing it up on defense. A wing from NY, Rivera was active on defensive rotations and on the glass.
#13 Xavier Fauntroy Xavier Fauntroy 6'3" | SG West Catholic | 2027 State PA | 6’2 West Catholic
Letting it fly from anywhere he caught the ball, Fauntroy shot around 40% from three over the weekend. He was almost as locked in on defense, getting after it at the point-of-attack.
#23 Zion Green Zion Green 6'8" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2027 State PA | 6’8 Imhotep
The toolsy prospect showcased his perimeter skills off-the-bounce. Green used his handle to score in isolation, slashing all the way to the basket and converting multiple and-one opportunities.
#30 Nazir Tyler Nazir Tyler 6'2" | SG Father Judge | 2027 State PA | 6’2 Father Judge
Tyler’s ability to scale his game up or down came in handy for Scholars 15s. He knocked down spot-up jumpers, as well as create shots for himself.
#35 Ibrahima Cisse | 6’8 TBD 2028
A rising freshman, Cisse was dialed in as the team’s rim protector. He blocked several shots and was effective on the defensive glass. His teammates occasionally rewarded him with drop-off passes down low.
