Upper Dublin took the best punch from crosstown rival Wissahickon and emerged with a come-from-behind road win in Suburban One play. The Cardinals were led by senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1888851' first='Kobe' last='Bazemore'] with a balanced 20 points, while Wissahickon got a game-high 24 from its own senior guard in [player_tooltip player_id='2492470' first='Nico' last='Vacchiano'].    UD's senior leader at the point of attack, Bazemore put on a masterful performance with a team-high 20 points while pushing seemingly every right button throughout the game. The southpaw was efficient with his shot selection, using his speed to attack the rim when seams opened up and knocking down all 3 of his attempts from the perimeter. He was consistently able to get into the paint and kick out to shooters while also playing hounding defense with quick hands playing passing lanes or crashing in for double teams. It was a dynamic two-way effort that gave a clear window into why Bazemore projects as an impact get at the small-college level for Del Val.     Nearing 1,000 points for his career, Vacchiano came out quiet as a scorer, picking his spots while showing his slick vision and daring ambition as a passer. The Trojans' senior leader put on his Superman cape for the second half, pouring in 18 of his game-high 24 points in the final two quarters to keep Wissahickon in the game. He uses a decisive handle and his sturdy frame to get north-south and finishing strong through contact, while also posing a dangerous threat as a 3-point pullup shooter once he backs his defender up. While not a pure point guard, Vacchiano did well to control the tempo of the game as well, outside of a few moments where he forced the issue. Vacchiano profiles as a priority target for a wide array of small-college programs.     A consistent focal point for the Cardinals up front, Ragsdale was somewhat uncharacteristically quiet but still posted an efficient double-figure effort in support of the win. The southpaw forward thrived as a decisionmaker from the middle of the floor, either at the foul line or from the top of the key. He was able to turn the corner attacking to his strong left hand off the bounce while also showing an elevated release on his jumper out to the arc. Ragsdale looks to have added some notable strength to his frame as well. He should have a good chance to emerge firmly onto scholarship radars as soon as this spring and summer.     An emerging prospect on the radar, Sellenriek gives Wissahickon a towering presence in the paint and quite the intriguing long-term prospect to boot. New to the U.S. this year from his native Germany, Sellenriek is coming off a recent growth spurt and thus still adjusting to his frame while acclimating to American life on and off the court. He struggled as a scorer on Wednesday but impressed as a rebounder, showing solid hands while hauling in 13 boards, including 8 on the offensive end. He's a capable decisionmaker with the ball in his hands and shows a smooth stroke at the foul line. Defensively, Sellenriek stays tall as a rim protector and flashed ability to keep quicker forwards in front of him in space. He doesn't stray too far from the paint and really isn't worked in much to the Trojans' offense, but brings clear scholarship-level tools to continue developing over time, with the possibility of a prep year opening up some intriguing potential options as he gets more comfortable in the States.     Stepping up into the starting lineup for the first time as a junior, Jackson shook off a slow start to provide a key secondary spark with 11 points to help lead the win. Jackson was active getting out in transition, showcasing his swift athleticism as a finisher at the rim. He played decisively off the catch in the halfcourt, attacking efficiently within the flow of the offense. Jackson looks to still be growing and coming into his own physically, which should help to unleash his full potential on the defensive end. He still has to work to become more consistent as a perimeter shooter, but should be on a wide range of college and prep radars by this time next year.     Quietly emerging as a reliable starter after biding his time on JV as a freshman, Schwartz contributed a smooth 11 points to help keep Wissahickon in striking distance throughout the game. Schwartz knocked down a pair of 3s, showing a smooth high release off the catch with range deep beyond the arc. He shows solid positional size and length with a nice spring in his step athletically, along with flashes of skill and feel while operating off the bounce. He figures to be a consistent focal point for the Trojans before too long and certainly looks to have a future at the college level with continued development.
