District 1-6A / 5A Playoffs: SEPA 1st Round Top Performers

Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who impressed with their outstanding play during the 1st Round of the District 1 5A / 6A tournaments.    In late January Delp hung a CR South school record 32 points on Pennridge. Thus, it is not a shock that this walking bucket came out firing during the 1st Round of the District 1-6A tournament. On Friday night, Delp drained 4 threes on his way to 26 points versus Methacton. When he was not lacing triples, Delp used quick change or direction dribble moves to get into the paint for lay-ins and floaters. He also pushed the rock in transition for scores and assists.     Fromhartz (20 ppg.) recently committed to West Chester University (D2) and over the weekend he proved again that WCU got a steal. In D-West's 1st Round 5A victory over Chester, Fromhartz dropped a 30-piece and made it look easy. He opened the game by scoring 12 points in the first quarter and Fromhartz kept it rolling from there. This long and athletic three level scorer used his size to shoot over defenders on the perimeter. Those same assets combined with Fromhartz's sneaky physicality enable him to power through defenders on the interior. Plus, Fromhartz got out on the break as a lane filler for buckets.     Gardler's reputation as a highly accurate three-point shooter with a quick release proceeds him. Still, in Marple's 1st Round 5A victory over Strath Haven, it was his off the dribble scoring that carried him to a 23-point effort (1 three). Twelve of those points came during a red-hot third quarter. Working predominantly as a point guard, Gardler continually attacked the rim in the half court and on the fast break for points. His ability to draw fouls on his way to the cup is astonishing. On half court possessions, he was especially effective getting into the lane via pick-n-roll action at the top of the key     Robinson's is a ridiculously athletic (letters in 3-sports) and versatile guard with a habit of posting 20 spots this season (6 in 2024-25). That trend continued over the weekend as Robinson posted 22 points versus Chichester. Fifteen of those points came during the second half when Robinson could not be stopped. Robinson's speed, elite athleticism and explosiveness enabled him to get to the rim for buckets whenever he wanted. Robinson kept Chichester's defenders honest by sprinkling in a couple of threes as well as a few dribble pull up jumpers too. At the other end of the court, Robinson was a menacing defensive presence.
