A-Town Throwdown: Under the Radar Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With so many teams participating in the event, there were bound to be a number of sleepers who emerged. Here are a few of them:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2514001' first='Andrew' last='Jones'] | 6'3 G 2025 Allentown Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a lead guard, Jones used his strength and athleticism to impact the game, beyond just facilitating. Whether on the play side or rotating from the help side, he blocked multiple shots over the weekend. On the opposite end, Jones pushed past defenders as a slasher and created angles to finish on post-ups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2513998' first='Quinn' last='Lucas'] | 6'7 F 2026 Liberty</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lucas didn't need designed touches on offense to take an impact. The low-usage post player kept the opposing offense from getting easy shots with his activity around the basket. Then, Lucas grabbed offensive rebounds and scored on putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2462306' first='Kyle' last='Parrish'] | 5'11 G 2027 Lower Merion</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although he wasn't the starting point guard for the Aces, Parrish gave starter-level production when he came off of the bench. He was effective running pick-and-roll and created other advantages off-the-dribble. Parrish forced turnovers on defense too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2492457' first='Cooper' last='Romanczuk'] | 6'3 G 2026 Malvern Prep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Romanczuk starred in his role as a floor spacer in MP's quarterfinals victory. He drilled two threes within the flow of the offense and created another for himself with a pull-up jumper. His ball movement, rebounding, and defense were invaluable as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2513999' first='Noah' last='Walakovitz'] | 6'1 G 2026 Northampton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Downingtown West fought tooth and nail to surge back in the second half, but Walakovitz had other plans. His hustle in transition and movement without the ball opened up scoring opportunities for him. With 11 of his 17 in the half, Walakovitz kept the Whippets at bay. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2514000' first='Marcus' last='Yeager'] | 6'3 W/F 2026 Trinity</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Trinity played Easton, Yeager added secondary playmaking to lift his team to the win. He caught the ball on the low block and dished it to teammates on the opposite block or cutting toward the hoop. Yeager also contributed on the glass and drove to score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
