Despite two tough losses on Saturday, including one in sudden-death overtime, Abington still looked the part of a contender in the SOL behind a talented junior class. Pickron led the way with his electric scoring ability, using his quickness and developing ball skills to burst downhill for explosive finishes around the cup. He showed progress as a jump shooter, both on spotups from the arc and midrange pullups, while bringing his typical energy on the defensive end to cause havoc and get out in transition. The Ghosts will go as far as their high-octane backcourt will take them, with Pickron’s continued development being a key piece to monitor for District 1 fans and scholarship-level coaches alike.

Another piece of a dynamic multi-pronged Abington backcourt, Pickron caught the eye immediately with his explosiveness and versatility in a utility role. A bursty athlete with a steady bounce in his step, Pickron thrived attacking the cup for a series of acrobatic finishes above the rim. He flashed as a jump shooter off the catch as well but maybe impressed most notably on the defensive end, flying around within the Abington press to force turnovers and create transition scoring chances going the other way. If he can continue to refine his skillset over the next couple years in order to catch up to his instincts and athleticism, Pickron could find his way onto scholarship-level radars with the Ghosts slated to contend within the SOL and District 1.
