UAA 15U Debut: Philly Pride

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Making the trip down to Rock Hill, South Carolina, the [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] 15U suited up for the first time on the Under Armour circuit. They showed a ton of promise, going 2-2. Here's an overview of how their players performed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#0 [player_tooltip player_id='2425547' first='Grayson' last='Golek'] | 6'4 Garnet Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Golek battled inside on defense as their small-ball five then spaced the floor on offense. He made threes mostly off-the-catch, but mixed in some pull-up jumpers from deep and the mid-range too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='2202016' first='Bryce' last='Clark'] | 5'6 Camden Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The spark plug for this group, Clark initiated their offense and ignited the defense with one big play after another. Clarked delivered every time, whether they needed to get a stop or a bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='2425553' first='Surya' last='Tummala'] | 6'0 Conestoga</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tummala proved to be a lethal shooter over the weekend, drilling spot-up and movement threes. They dialed up multiple plays for him in the comeback win against Gateway.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='2425548' first='Adrian' last='Rascoe'] | 6'2 Springside Chestnut Hill&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rascoe played bigger than his listed size as an off-ball player on both ends. He cut to the basket for layups, drew fouls, and forced numerous turnovers as a help defender.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#7 [player_tooltip player_id='2407120' first='Gage' last='Cunningham'] | 6'3 Episcopal Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The power guard did all of his damage inside of the arc. He used his strength crash the boards, to slash to the basket for layups and to create space for mid-range jumpers. He came with steals as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#23 [player_tooltip player_id='2425549' first='Elias' last='Hemmings'] | 6'1 Muhlenberg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Doing a little of everything, Hemmings was hard to take off the floor because of his well-rounded game. He made the extra pass, hit shots, and made tough plays on defense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#55 [player_tooltip player_id='2202015' first='Azyris' last='Richmond'] | 6'8 Camden Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As their tallest player, Richmond added a vertical element to both sides of the court, contesting shots and getting high percentage looks offensively. He showed flashes of skill as a roller and around the dunker spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='2425552' first='Luke' last='Faccenda'] (6'1 Garnet Valley), #5 [player_tooltip player_id='2425550' first='Kevin' last='Norman III'] (6'2 Coatesville), #6 [player_tooltip player_id='2425551' first='Daulton' last='Nolt'] (6'3 Garden Spot), and #44 Ibraheem Smith (6'0 Winslow) who added interchangeability to the team's 4-guard lineups with their ball-handling, passing, and perimeter defense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For more basketball coverage, follow me on the socials @ CGraham_Sports</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
