#0 Grayson Golek Grayson Golek 6'4" | SF Garnet Valley | 2027 PA | 6’4 Garnet Valley
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.
#2 Bryce Clark Bryce Clark 5'6" | PG Camden Catholic | 2027 State NJ | 5’6 Camden Catholic
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.
#3 Surya Tummala Surya Tummala 6'0" | CG Conestoga | 2027 PA | 6’0 Conestoga
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.
#4 Adrian Rascoe Adrian Rascoe 6'2" | CG Springside Chestnut Hill | 2027 PA | 6’2 Springside Chestnut Hill
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.
#7 Gage Cunningham Gage Cunningham 6'3" | SG Episcopal Academy | 2027 State PA | 6’3 Episcopal Academy
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.
#23 Elias Hemmings Elias Hemmings 6'1" | CG Muhlenberg | 2027 PA | 6’1 Muhlenberg
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.
#55 Azyris Richmond Azyris Richmond 6'7" | PF Camden Catholic | 2027 State NJ | 6’8 Camden Catholic
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.
#1 Luke Faccenda Luke Faccenda 6'1" | CG Garnet Valley | 2027 State PA (6’1 Garnet Valley), #5 Kevin Norman III Kevin Norman III 6'2" | PG Coatesville | 2027 PA (6’2 Coatesville), #6 Daulton Nolt Daulton Nolt 6'3" | SG Garden Spot | 2027 PA (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.
