HG Summer Jam Fest: SEPA Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who impressed during action at the Hoop Group Summer Jam Fest which is being held this weekend at the world-famous Spooky Nook facility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2047550' first='Carnell' last='Henderson'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2025 / Imhotep Charter / BW Elite / Wing:</strong> This long, athletic, fast, and versatile prospect was built for the up-tempo nature of the grassroots circuit. Henderson thrives in the open court as both a ball handler and lane filling wing. In both scenarios, when Henderson gets to the rim he can dunk on an opponent's head or finish with creative flair. In the half court, Henderson can slash to the cup for a catch and lay-in. He can also beat his man with a quick straight-line drive to the rack. On defense, Henderson is extremely switchable. Henderson recently picked up an off from Rider University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1888864' first='Owen' last='Kelly'] </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / 2026 / SCH Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] HGSL / Shooting Guard:</strong> This highly accurate perimeter shooter was the talk of the Spooky Nook facility after he poured in 31 points (4 threes) in Revolution's win over [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power']. It was an intriguing performance by Kelly as he proved to any doubters that he can do more than just pop jumpers from all over the floor. Kelly scored in transition, executed well-timed, back door cuts for lay-ins and worked the offensive glass for points. He also operated as a secondary ball handler for stretches Kelly's high IQ and court vision enabled him to deliver a few impressive dimes too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848532' first='Zamir' last='Parker-Barnes'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2025 / Abington Friends / [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] / Combo Guard: </strong>Over the last month, Parker-Barnes has been one of the biggest stock risers in SEPA's Class of 2025. For some time now, Parker-Barnes has been a highly regarded shooting guard / wing who could fill it up. But recently, including his runs yesterday at the Summer Jam Fest, Parker-Barnes has displayed the ability to operate as a point guard. In that role he has excelled at pushing the rock on the fast break for buckets or to distribute to a teammate. Parker-Barnes has also shown that he can blow past a defender and get into the paint for a floater or all the way to the rim for a slam. When defenders sagged off him, Parker-Barnes simply hit pull up threes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><u>Additional SEPA Standouts</u></strong><strong>:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1379430' first='Amon' last='Fowlkes'] – 5'10” / 2025 / Coatesville / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382984' first='Matt' last='Gardler'] – 5'11” / 2025 / Marple Newtown / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Combo Guard</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='2492472' first='Izaaz' last='Kornegay'] – 6'6″ / 2026 / Samuel Fels / [program_tooltip program_id='2428008' first='Mt.' last='Pleasant Bulldogs'] / Small Forward</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2237268' first='Tyler' last='Simpson'] – 6'2″ / 2025 / Solebury School / United NJ / Point Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391479' first='Parker' last='Smith'] – 6'2″ / 2025 / Carlisle / Team PA / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1888850' first='Jasir' last='Tyler'] – 5'9″ / 2026 / Paul Robeson / [program_tooltip program_id='2428008' first='Mt.' last='Pleasant Bulldogs'] / Combo Guard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
