SEPA Early Season Top 10: Prep Schools

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of the early season Top 10 “prep” school basketball teams from southeastern Pennsylvania.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1. Phelps School: </strong>This Phelps roster is absolutely stacked with DI talent. They are led by [player_tooltip player_id='1865248' first='Will' last='Riley'] (multiple DI offers), our No. 2 ranked 2025 prospect. Running the floor with Riley will be scoring wing [player_tooltip player_id='1601169' first='Onyx' last='Nnani'] (several DI offers), stretch-4 [player_tooltip player_id='1601132' first='Gavin' last='Doty'] (handful of DI offers) and combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='1990922' first='Jacob' last='Hudson']. Point guard Tommy Vaughn Jr will run the show and three-point ace Cooper Shivers will stretch the floor. A pair of 6'5” wings in [player_tooltip player_id='1402080' first='Jordan' last='Rogers'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2251705' first='Dionycius' last='Bakare'] are prospects flying under the radar at Phelps. &nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2. Perkiomen School:</strong> The addition of standout point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1197611' first='KJ' last='Cochran'] completes a lineup that now has all the elements needed to repeat as state champions. Cochran is a multi-skilled lead guard who can score, distribute, and defend. He will have plenty of scoring options to pass to as scoring machine Gabe Tanner (offers from Bryant and St. Joe's), stretch-4 [player_tooltip player_id='1117679' first='Macon' last='Emory'] (Delaware commit); versatile wing [player_tooltip player_id='1990913' first='Lucas' last='Orchard'] (Monmouth commit) and 6'11” center [player_tooltip player_id='1850282' first='Alfredo' last='Addesa'] will all be starters. Two stock rising 2024s to watch on this roster are combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2322805' first='Alex' last='Zakheim'] and small forward Marley Stewart. 2025 Perk will also get major production from [player_tooltip player_id='2226450' first='Hayden' last='Johns'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4. George School:</strong> Big man phenom [player_tooltip player_id='1153953' first='Luke' last='Bevilacqua'] (6'11”; 240-pounds) will spearhead a reworked George School lineup. He is a multi-skilled interior talent who is developing into an unstoppable stretch-4  prospect. Freshman sensation [player_tooltip player_id='2195052' first='Tyler' last='Sutton'] will be the primary ball handler. That is name you will want to remember. Shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='1865350' first='Luke' last='Melniczak'] can score at all three levels. Plus, 6'4” transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1188624' first='Kasey' last='Fleming'] is extremely effective in the dunker spot. The late addition of 6'9” [player_tooltip player_id='933048' first='Tristen' last='Guillouette'] (transfer from SJP) will allow GS to run a “twin towers” lineup option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4. Westtown School:</strong> The Moose are loaded and ready to roll behind hybrid forward [player_tooltip player_id='1477774' first='Malik' last='Rasul'] (Lafayette commit) and the talented DI guard trio of [player_tooltip player_id='1484307' first='Jayden' last='Forsythe'], [player_tooltip player_id='1369805' first='Jayden' last='Kelsey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1271438' first='Jahmare' last='Memphis']. All three of them are a threat to register a 20-spot on any given night. Wing prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1383005' first='Cameron' last='Wallace'] is a walking bucket with a high IQ. So, he will find the open teammate when double teamed. Talented forward [player_tooltip player_id='1202411' first='Daveyon' last='Lydner'] was a ridiculous pickup. Shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2251292' first='Henry' last='Ye'] was a nice addition to the roster as well. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5. Academy of New Church:</strong> Class of 2024 shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='2229148' first='Bahsil' last='Laster'] (a couple DI offers) will be option No. 1 at ANC this season and the multi-skilled shooting guard has the talent to handle that promotion. Fellow senior [player_tooltip player_id='2047739' first='Caleb' last='Alston-Nelson'] (6'7”; Wing) is a vastly underrated prospect. Point man [player_tooltip player_id='1608494' first='Dior' last='Carter'] is one of the top two-way guards in the area. Transfers Tobe Nwobu and [player_tooltip player_id='2056421' first='Jasin' last='Custus-Dancy'] provide a wealth of backcourt depth. Forward [player_tooltip player_id='2056714' first='Ryan' last='Warren'] is one of the most improved 2026s in SEPA. He is primed for a breakout season. Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1848622' first='Nolan' last='Waldon'] and low post presence [player_tooltip player_id='1865294' first='Cameron' last='Smith'] will make significant contributions too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Rest of the Top 10...</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.
