15U
Mt. Pleasant Bulldogs: Good luck keeping up with these young bucks, because this team is stocked with guards and wings who can push the pace and finish in transition. Elite 2027 guards Jarrod Denard Jarrod Denard WF PA , Sean “Shizz” Banks, Rahkiy Mason Rahkiy Mason 5'11" | PG Math, Civics & Sciences | 2027 PA and Matt Tollerson-Irby will split the ball handling duties. All four of them can go coast-to-coast in a flash. Athletic wings Rahmir Speaks (West Catholic), and Jack McMullin (Archbishop Ryan) will fill the lanes on the fast break and score from all over the floor in the half-court. For MPB-15U, college coaches will also want to keep an eye on 6’4” forward Caj Jones. He received significant varsity minutes for Wissahickon this past season but somehow Jones is still flying under the radar.

17U
