SEPA POY and MVP Award Winners

Below is a review of the prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) who earned MVP or Player of the Year honors for their league or conference.   Berks Conference    McKoy is a “big guard” who is a three-level scoring machine as well as an elite point guard. This season he averaged 21.4 points per game and scored a season high 36 points (3 threes) in a win over Daniel Boone. McKoy also registered 29-point games on three separate occasions. His most recent 29-point effort (3 triples) came in Berks Catholic's District 3-4A title game win over Eastern York. In addition to splashing threes, McKoy thrives in transition where he can pilot the fast break for scores or assists. His ability to grab a defensive rebound and go coast-to-coast is impressive. McKoy is a high IQ and patient half-court floor general too.       Bicentennial Athletic League    It was fairly obvious early in the 2024-25 season that Orange was the front runner for the BAL Player of the Year award. But with his incredible stretch of play to close the season, Orange left no doubt. In February, this muti-skilled guard posted a near triple double of 33 points, 10 dimes and 8 boards. Then in the District 1-1A championship game Orange poured in 33 points as DCCS defeated Dock Mennonite. During his senior campaign Orange posted 17 points; 8 rebound, 4 assists and 3 steals per night while leading DCCS to the BAL and D1-1A titles. Orange's versatile skill set was on full display all winter as he scored at all three levels and executed kick outs to open shooters as well as drop passes to the dunker spot. As a nice bonus, Orange rebounded at both ends and was a plus defender. Orange's holds a slew of D2 / D3 offers.      Central Athletic League    This quick combo guard with tight handles and a watery jump shot was selected as the Central League MVP for the second consecutive season. During his outstanding senior year, Gardler averaged 20 points per night and popped over 70 triples. He posted a couple of 30-pieces and recently assembled a near triple double of 26 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in D1-5A playoff game win over Strath Haven. Obviously Gardler can lace threes all game, but his ability to work as a primary ball handler is vastly under rated. In that role, Gardler can use the dribble to create for himself or to distribute to teammates. Gardler is extremely skilled at attacking the paint and then drawing whistles on his way to the rim.      Inter-Ac    The No. 6 ranked prospect in our 2025 rankings assembled a monster senior year. West averaged 18.5 points per night as he helped Penn Charter bring home the 2024-25 Inter-Ac hardware. West is committed to Northwestern and the Wildcats are getting a dynamic guard who can do it all on the court. He does an incredible job of balancing his own scoring with getting teammates involved. West can produce points in transition as well as at every level in the half-court. The trifecta of his high IQ, court vision and poise make him a fantastic distributor. His live dribble passing is especially impressive. On half-court possessions West can direct designed sets, operate in pick-n-roll action, score off dribble drives and pop threes. West's ability to explode to the basket for a flush will catch opponents by surprise.       Philadelphia Catholic League:    Ellerbee is currently the 22nd ranked prospect in our 2025 rankings. However, after his MVP senior year in the Philadelphia Catholic League we expect he will move up in the next edition of our rankings. This season Ellerbee (FGCU commit) stuffed the stat book with 17 points; 7 rebounds and 5.4 assist per game. Ellerbee is a multi-skilled perimeter prospect who can operate as point guard, shooting guard or wing. He is a lethal transition player who can push the rock for scores or assists. In the half-court, Ellerbee is a dribble drive wizard. He can use his deep bag of dribble moves to get into the paint for runners or lay-ins. Or Ellerbee can put the ball on the deck, draw the help defense and then distribute to open teammates. Ellerbee's 3-point shooting must all be respected.
