<p>The second week of February is here, meaning county tournament play is getting into full gear. The Tri-County Conference tournament is set to kick off this Friday with 12 teams looking to take home the title. Here are the prospects to watch in the Tri-County Conference Tournament.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763537' first='Tymear' last='Lecator'], 6'1 PG Salem 2027</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lecator enters the county tournament on a hot streak as he has two straight games with at least 20 points. The 6'1 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and can finish through contact. Lecator is more than just a slasher as he has a nice release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. He threads passes to his open teammates in the half court and uses his quick hands to get deflections on defense. Lecator is a dynamic guard prospect who should continue to light up the box score over the next couple of weeks.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Terence Collier, 6'6 F Kingsway 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Collier leads the way for the Dragons in the paint and should continue to do so in the Tri-County Tournament. The 6'6 forward knows how to get position in the paint and has a nice touch around the rim. Collier can also put the ball on the floor and can knock down open jumpers from behind the arc. He is an underrated rebounder and uses his length to impact the game on the defensive end. Collier's ability to play either forward position makes him an intriguing prospect to track in the Tri-County Conference Tournament.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342688' first='Luke' last='Van Auken'], 6'7 PF Delsea 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Van Auken has been a force down low for the Crusaders as he has been a double-double machine. The Colorado State commit uses his strong frame to get position in the paint and has a soft touch in the paint. Van Auken sets strong screens in the half court and can also pass out of the post. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses good timing to block shots. Van Auken is a physical forward prospect who should continue to rack up double-doubles over the next couple of weeks.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763471' first='Lamar' last='Little'], 6'4 CG Overbrook 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little has the ability to play on the wing and in the backcourt, which he should put on display during the county tournament. The 6'4 guard has a good release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Little is more than just a shooter as he can also get to the rim off the bounce and finishes well around the rim. He has the athleticism to defend multiple positions on the floor and pushes the pace well in transition. Little is a talented guard prospect who should fill up the box score for the Rams in the county tournament.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3484965' first='Jordan' last='Williams'], 6'4 SG Deptford 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams is one of the top scorers in South Jersey, averaging a little over 23 points per game. The 6'4 guard uses his handle to get into the lane and can also score in the mid-range. Williams shoots the ball with confidence from behind the arc and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He is an underrated rebounder and moves well without the ball in his hands. Williams has the ability to put up points in bunches and should continue to do so during the Tri-County Conference Tournament.</p>
