<p>Earlier this spring BW's top team captured their division title at the Pitt Jam Fest. The key to their success at that event was group of dynamic guards that push the tempo in every contest. Point guards [player_tooltip player_id='1460781' first='Jalen' last='Chiles'] (17.5 ppg.); [player_tooltip player_id='1486773' first='Saaid' last='Lee'] (10 ppg) and [player_tooltip player_id='1379428' first='Josiah' last='Hutson'] (1,000+ pt. scorer). along with shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1466558' first='Brandon' last='Williams'] (2nd Team All-PPL) form a quartet of backcourt prospects that is extremely difficult to stop. Running the floor with that foursome are slasher wings [player_tooltip player_id='1850270' first='Abdrahaman' last='Coulibaly'] (1<sup>st</sup> Team All-PPL) and [player_tooltip player_id='2047550' first='Carnell' last='Henderson']. Small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1865346' first='Nigel' last='Pierman'] will handle business around the rim. Recently Pierman was a standout at the HG Spring Jam Fest. Headlining the [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] squad is a trio of impressive 2025 prospects in point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1271438' first='Jahmare' last='Memphis'], combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1477746' first='Amir' last='Nelson'] (18 ppg.) and stretch-4 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1230538' first='Zane' last='Conlon'] (17 ppg. & 9 rpg.). Nelson has posted impressive runs this spring at the Donofrio Class and the Pitt Jam Fest. For [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'], college coaches should also pay close attention to 6'6” double-double machine [player_tooltip player_id='1874206' first='Reece' last='Craft']. <em>Tipoff is at 9:00AM at Executive Fieldhouse.</em></p>

<p><strong><u>16U</u></strong></p>

<p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2428253' first='Team' last='Final Red'] EYBL vs. [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This [program_tooltip program_id='2428253' first='Team' last='Final Red'] squad features a tremendous balance between interior and perimeter scoring. 6'10” power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1608228' first='Blake' last='Adams'] and 6'8” hybrid-forward [player_tooltip player_id='2493035' first='Steven' last='Moore'] control the paint at both ends. Meanwhile high-flying shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1454311' first='Jelani' last='Easter'] (12 ppg.) as well as combo guards Wesley Rosario (8 ppg.) and [player_tooltip player_id='2251320' first='Jerry' last='Johnson, Jr.'] form a trio of extremely talented guards. Johnson turned heads with his scoring down in Memphis at EYBL Session I. ECP 16's will counter with a ridiculously talented guard pool of their own. Headlining that group is 1<sup>st</sup> Team Al-Inter-Ac selection [player_tooltip player_id='1454260' first='Silas' last='Graham']. Running with Graham is 3-point ace [player_tooltip player_id='2247339' first='Christian' last='Matos'] (1<sup>st</sup> Team All-PAC), Swiss Army knife guard [player_tooltip player_id='1406770' first='Nasir' last='Ralls'] (11 ppg.; 35% 3PM) and three level scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id='1939244' first='Correll' last='Akings'] (12 ppg.). This ECP team also boasts two high quality stretch-4 prospects in [player_tooltip player_id='1493066' first='James' last='Brenner'] and Tim Jennings. <em>Tipoff is at 4:00PM at Executive Fieldhouse.</em> </p>

<p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2428008' first='Mt.' last='Pleasant Bulldogs'] vs. [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] 3SSB</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This game will be a contest between some of the top perimeter prospects <a href="https://prephoops.com/pennsylvania/rankings/2027-rankings/">from our Class of 2027 rankings</a>. MPB 15s is loaded with guards and wings who can get up and down in a hurry.

Running with those four will be athletic, slasher wings [player_tooltip player_id='2435925' first='Rahmir' last='Speaks'] (West Catholic), and [player_tooltip player_id='2450658' first='Jack' last='McMullin'] (Archbishop Ryan). The K-Low 2027 squad features shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2424034' first='Semaj' last='Stone'] and point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2424028' first='Jayvon' last='Byrd']. Both prospects are ranked inside the Top 25 of our 2027 rankings. Additionally, K-Low 15's roster boasts wing scorer [player_tooltip player_id='2427221' first='Myles' last='Moore']. The agile, 6'3” Moore is one of the best kept secrets in the PCL. <em>Tipoff is at 5:00PM at Executive Fieldhouse.</em> </p>
