SEPA State Tourney Stock Risers

Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who increased their recruiting stock with their outstanding play during their team's run to the semifinals the of PIAA state tournaments.    This wiry and fast guard with significant bounce has put his name on the recruiting map here in March. Harris does the bulk of his scoring on the fast break or off the dribble in the half-court. In both scenarios he can finish through contact. Harris will also drain the occasional 3-ball. During his sophomore campaign Harris averaged 12 points per night, but in states he has taken his game to another level. In the 1st Round of the 1A tourney Harris dropped 22 points. He followed up that with 11 points in a 2nd Round win over Phil-Mont Christian. Then, Harris punched LCD's ticket to the 1A Final 4 by stuffing that stat book with 17 points and 7 steals in an overtime victory against The Christian Academy. Harris will be a prospect to watch on the spring / summer grassroots circuit.     After leadingBerks Catholic to the District 3-4A title with a 29-point effort (3 threes) in the championship game, McKoy has continued to play stellar ball in the 4A state tournament. Across BC's three game run to the 4A Final 4, McKoy is averaging 23 points per night. Included in his latest stretch of outstanding play was a 30-piece (4 3PM) in a win over PPL contender Simon Gratz. In addition to splashing threes, McKoy is a high IQ, “big guard” who thrives in transition. He can pilot the fast break for scores or assists. His ability to grab a defensive rebound and go coast-to-coast is extraordinary. On defense, McKoy is an underrated rebounder and shot blocker.     Across Hershey's march to the 5A state semifinals Sweeney is averaging 23.5 points per game. Highlighting Sweeney's impressive state tourney play so far was a 25-point effort (1 three) during a win over West York. Sweeney is an athletic, versatile, and speedy prospect who is an open court phenom. His ability to convert on tough shots at the end of a fast break is unique. On half-court possessions Sweeny can produce points by splashing jumpers from all over the floor as well as via straight line drives to the rack and the offensive glass. Defensively, Sweeney can guard 2 through 5 and is a plus rebounder.     Tyler (9 ppg. & 3 rpg. in 2024-25) is a fantastic two-way guard who during the regular season has served as a “glue guy” on a star-studded Father Judge roster. However, during Judge's journey to the 6A semifinals, Tyler has increased his offensive production to 13 points per night. Highlighting Tyler's state tourney performances was the 16 points (3 triples) he posted in Judge's defeat of Hazleton during the quarterfinals. Tyler also recorded 12 points(4 threes) and 3 steals in win over Garnet Valley in the 1st Round. Tyler excels in the open court as a ball handler and lane filler. His jump shot is automatic in the mid-range and from behind the 3-point arc. Plus, Tyler's quick first step and elusive handles enable him to create off the dribble for himself and teammates. College coaches will love the suffocating defense Tyler plays for all 94-feet.
