Brotherly Love in Pennsylvania on the Hardwood

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here at Prep Hoops PA, we took an interesting angle for this article. Knowing that Philadelphia is the "City of Brotherly Love" we embarked on a publication geared toward brothers participating in high school basketball at the same time. Also, having Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania made even more sense for the idea of the article. While many high school basketball teams throughout the state encompass four grade levels (9th-12th), we researched some programs that had siblings who will be playing on the same teams this winter. In a few cases, there will be brothers in high school at the exact time, but participating for different school teams due to a variety of factors. As we dug deeper into this topic, our scouts found that many coaches welcome the fact that siblings are on the same team not only for convenience for the families, but for continuity for the coaching staff in dealing with the dynamics of two brothers pushingand motivating each other in the gymnasium. Now of course certain siblings will play more than others, though in a small amount of instances you will see both brothers on the floor at the same time. Hopefully you enjoy reading the article as much as we welcomed the opportunity to construct this piece of writing...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SIBLING STANDOUTS</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BUTLER:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1185952' first='Sawyer' last='Butler'] / Beaver High School / Class of 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>An exceptionally shifty, quick point guard with the leadership qualities to help his team be successful on a consistent basis</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1189615' first='Tyler' last='Butler'] / Beaver High School / Class of 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>A long, maturing wing with the ability to cause match-up problems during specific game situations</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ASTORINO:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='991350' first='Damon' last='Astorino'] / Eden Christian Academy High School / Classs of 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>A complete player with a high basketball IQ that can score in a variety of ways consistently throughout a game at a high level</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1406902' first='Jared' last='Astorino'] / Ambridge High School / Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>This well-rounded guard/wing has a developing skillset which makes him difficult to defend on the court</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DOPRIAK:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joey Dopriak / North Allegheny High School / Class of 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>His ability to score in the post is a big asset on the hardwood, but he has developed a quality perimeter jumper as well</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bobby Dopriak / North Allegheny High School / Class of 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>A maturing young player who will continue to work hard and become a factor for his team in the future</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>BARBER:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1187945' first='Brody' last='Barber'] / Mt.
