Philly HS Live S1: SEPA Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania we will be keeping an eye on during Friday's action at Philly HS Live S1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2426876' first='Keron' last='Booth Jr']. </strong><strong>– 5'8” / 2027 / Phoenixville / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL / Point Guard:</strong> This spring Booth destroyed the competition on the grassroots with his blazing speed and ability to navigate through an entire defense with his creative handles. He was a standout performer at the HG Spring Jam Fest as well as the Rare Footage Spring Fling and we expect more fireworks from Booth this weekend. When he is not blowing past defenders for buckets, Booth will get into the paint for drive-n-kick plays or to drop a pass to a waiting teammate in the dunker spot. Plus, Booth owns a jump shot with 3-point range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2093823' first='David' last='Maddrey-Rylander'] </strong><strong>– 6'2” / 2025 / Bishop Shanahan / [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] / Wing:</strong> Maddrey-Rylander is a long, wiry, and athletic prospect with speed and solid finishing moves. That list of assets enables him to excel on the fast break. Maddrey-Rylander will also pop threes from all around the arc. This lefty owns solid handles and a high IQ, so he can work as a secondary ball handler too. In that role he can attack the cup off the dribble for lay-ins or patiently wait for a teammate to pop open and then deliver a dime.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2423943' first='Adrien' last='Varella'] </strong><strong>– 6'2″ / 2025 / Holy Ghost Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] / Small Forward:</strong> One of the best kept secrets in suburban Philadelphia is this point forward who averaged 20.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season. Varella thrives in the open court because he rebounds well, gets downhill quickly, and can go coast to coast. In the half-court, Varella can splash threes and create off the dribble for himself or teammates. Varella faces double teams often, but he possesses the IQ and unselfish nature to pass out of those traps.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Additional SEPA Players to Watch</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2425552' first='Luke' last='Faccenda'] – 6'1” / 2027 / Garnet Valley / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1481147' first='Madyx' last='Gruber'] – 5'10″ / 2025 / Wilson / PSB Philly / Point Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2455966' first='Ben' last='Harrison'] – 6'4” / 2025 / Central Bucks South / PA Coalition / Wing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2047680' first='Jaden' last='Shipley'] – 6'4” / 2026 / Executive Education ACS / [program_tooltip program_id='2428253' first='Team' last='Final Red'] EYBL / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
