SEPA New Names to Know from District Playoffs

Below is a review of “new” prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who caught our attention for the first time with their impressive performances during the District playoffs.   College coaches need to learn their names and text these players immediately.    Condon first caught my eye in mid-February when he flashed in HGP's win over Radnor. Now in District play, this wiry and skilled hybrid guard-forward has been on a roll. In fact, during HGP's march to the District 1-5A championship Condon is posting 11.7 points per night. In the Firebirds semifinal win over Pottsgrove Condon notched a double double of 15 points and 11 rebounds. Condon is a crafty and efficient scorer who excels in his role for HGP as a 3rd / 4th option. He owns a reliable jump shot with range beyond the arc. Condon also does an excellent job of crashing the offensive glass for second chance points.     Jackson posted a solid senior campaign as he averaged 17.6 ppg. and was a 2nd Team All-East Penn Conference selection. But over his last five games, Jackson has increased his production to 21 points per night. Included in his recent stretch of stellar play was a 31-point (2 threes) explosion during Allen's upset of Pocono Mountain West in the D11-6A tournament. Jackson is a fast and agile athlete with tremendous finishing skills. That trifecta makes him an open court phenom. On half-court possessions, Jackson can score off the dribble or drain threes. When he plays off the ball, Jackson high IQ and quickness enable him to cut to the basket for a catch and lay-in.         This three-point ace has been torching the nets from deep all season and that trend continued this weekend during the District 3-3A semifinals. In Antietam's loss to Trinity, Scheifley popped 4 triples on his way to 23 points. Scheifley (16.5 ppg.) has now knocked down 40+ threes on the season. Scheifley excels at hitting threes coming of screens and out of DHO action. The combination of his constant off-ball movement and quick release makes Scheifley difficult to guard along the arc. If a defender over plays Scheifley on the top side, he will cut back door for an easy bucket. Scheifley can use the bounce to get to his mid-range jumper too.     Over the last two weeks, this senior shooting guard has caught fire and helped push HGP to the District 1-5A championship game. During HGP's 2nd Round upset of Penncrest (2-seed), Sharlin knocked down 3 treys (14 pts. total). For an encore Sharlin laced 5 threes on his way to 21 points during HGP's win over Pottsgrove in the semifinals. In addition to draining 3-balls all night, Sharlin has displayed the ability to work as a secondary ball handler. In that role he can push the rock in transition for scores and assists. On half-court possessions, Sharlin can direct sets while handling tenacious on-ball pressure.
