<p class="text-gray-700">This season Ashby contributed 14.6 points per night thanks in large part to his highly accurate three-point stroke (62 3PM). He drained a season high 7 threes on his way to 25 points against Northern Lebanon. Across LCD's march to the 1A semifinals, Ashby has continued to torch the nets from deep. During LCD's quarter final win over The Christian Academy, Ashby popped 3 triples on his way to 19 points. He knocked down another 3 treys (12 pts) in their 1<sup>st</sup> Round defeat of North Penn-Liberty. Ashby's quick trigger, deep range and constant off-ball movement make him difficult to guard along the arc. His court visions and passing skills enable Ashby to work as a secondary ball handler too. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sankofa's roster features several high-profile bucket getters, but flying under the radar is this a Swiss Army knife prospect who can stuff the stat book. Across Sankofa's three games in the 1A state tourney, Brown is posting 8.7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 dimes per night. Brown can pop threes, slash to the hoop for and catch and lay-in and use the dribble to get to the rim for lay-ins. He can also work the offensive glass for second chance points Brown's athleticism, speed and finishing skills make him a legitimate open court scoring threat.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This athletic, fast, and skilled freshman has been a key part of Berks Catholic's push to the 4A semifinals. During the 4A state tournament, Harper (6 ppg. in 2024-25) has done a fantastic job capitalizing on the space created for him because of the extra attention opponents are giving [player_tooltip player_id='1588135' first='Kingston' last='McKoy']. For instance, Harper scored a season high 17 points (3 threes) in BC's quarterfinal win over Sharon. In addition to owning an automatic 3-point shot, Harper can use his quick first step and elusive handles to get into the paint for floaters and runners. Harper has also displayed the ability to slam on the breaks in the mid-range and then knock down a pull up jumper. His basketball IQ and court awareness are extremely advanced for a 208 prospect</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sweeney has been one of the breakout stars of the 5A state tournament. During his junior campaign, this three-level scorer averaged 20 points per night (40 3PM) as he pushed Hershey to the District 3-5A championship game. Sweeney poured in 28 points (1 three) during Hershey's D3-5A title game victory. Sweeney has put his name on the state-wide recruiting map by continuing to score in bunches during the 5A state tourney. He posted 22 points (1 triple) in Hershey's 1<sup>st</sup> Round win over Penn-Trafford as well as 25 points (1 three) in the quarterfinals against West York. Sweeney is a versatile guard with size and speed. He excels at scoring in transition, can stroke the 3-ball from all over the arc and blow past defenders off the dribble for buckets or assists. </p>
