<p><strong>Coatesville at Bishop Shanahan:</strong> After wins over Lower Merion, Reading and Conestoga, Coatesville has established itself as on the top public-school teams in SEPA. Multi-skilled small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1576717' first='Larry' last='Brown'] (17 pts. in W over Conestoga) has been crushing the competition early on this season. The dynamic backcourt duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1379430' first='Amon' last='Fowlkes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1874234' first='Nasir' last='Williams'] have provided transition as well as dribble drive scoring. Freshman starter [player_tooltip player_id='2485359' first='Colton' last='Hiller'] is a three-point sniper who cannot be left open. All this offensive firepower is supported by Coatesville's frantic 94-feet of defensive pressure. Shanahan will counter with a remarkable backcourt of their own in shifty point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2093823' first='David' last='Maddrey-Rylander'] and three level scoring combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2336703' first='Danny' last='Keenan']. It will be intriguing to watch how polished Shanahan big man [player_tooltip player_id='2328798' first='Sean' last='Griffin'] handles the lengthy defenders Coatesville will throw at him. <strong> </strong></p>

Brown is capable of posting a 30-piece on any given night. McField and Rodriguez are bucket getters too. SCHA's boasts a balanced lineup that can beat opponents in a variety of ways. Point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1865290' first='Keni'' last='Williams'] (East Stroudsburg commit) is one of the top scoring lead guards in the area. [player_tooltip player_id='1888864' first='Owen' last='Kelly'] is a rising stretch-4 prospect who is off to a tremendous start in 2024-25. Combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2237263' first='Kameron' last='Waters'] is an athletic two-way prospect who thrives on the fast break. </p>
