Philly HS Live S2: SEPA Weekend Standouts…Part III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is Part III in our review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who impressed during this weekend's action at Philly HS Live Session 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608248' first='Nafis' last='Dubose'] </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / 2026 / Sankofa Freedom Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Small Forward:</strong> Dubose is classified as an athletic small forward / wing, but he played with such tenacity, and physicality that at times he looked more like a power forward. Dubose is a double-double machine who did the dirty work on the interior and got out in transition where he finished through contact. Dubose also showed he can play on the perimeter by popping threes and using his dribble skills to execute baseline drives to the hoop. At the other end of the court, the quick and instinctive Dubose is a plus defender and fierce rebounder.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1271440' first='Ben' last='Rill'] </strong><strong>– 6'9″/ 2025 / Central York / York Ballers / Power Forward:</strong> Rill continued to increase his recruiting stock at Philly HS Live Session 2 as he displayed a more stretch-4-ish skill set. It is well known that this big lefty can score from the low post, in pick-n-roll action and via the offensive boards. But during his 18 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks performance vs. Dover (DE), Rill demonstrated that he could hit mid-range jumpers at a high percentage and may own three-point range. Additionally, Rill flashed the ability to drag an opposing big out to the arc and then blow past his defender with a couple of straight-line dribbles. The upside on Rill is tremendous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tre Stracuzzi </strong><strong>– 5'11″ / 2026 / William Tennent / PA Royals / Shooting Guard:</strong> After he dropped nine threes on Lincoln High, the scouting report on Stracuzzi from Philly HS Live is simple: face guard this kid the moment he steps on the court. Stracuzzi's jump shot possesses textbook mechanics, logo range and a flash trigger. He did not hesitate to shoot over taller defenders or double teams. If a defender closed out quickly, Stracuzzi simply threw a head and ball fake, then took a side dribble to find space along the arc for an open triple. His well-timed off ball movements made Stracuzzi extra difficult to guard.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Additional SEPA Standouts</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2224494' first='Cory' last='Hogan'] – 6'3″ / 2026 / Conestoga / [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] / Small Forward</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2478657' first='Jake' last='Manigault'] – 5'11″ / 2025 / Abington / BW Elite / Point Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1287319' first='Ben' last='Natal'] – 6'1″ / 2025 / Central York / York Ballers / Point Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kyndal Riley-Garlick – 6'0″ / 2028 / William Penn (DE) / Team Thrill / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
