HIGH SCHOOL: CAMDEN CATHOLIC 

POSITION: POINT GUARD 

CLASS: 2027 

BREAKDOWN: WHILE OTHERS CONCETRATED ON SCORING THE ROCK CLARK USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HIS ABILITY TO GET OTHERS BETTER AND PLAY LOCK DOWN DEFENSE. I LIKE CLARK’S DRIVE, DRAW AND DISH GAME WHILE PLAYING WITH A GOOD TEMPO. ON THE DEFENSIVE END HE’S WILLING TO GUARD TO OPPOSING BALLHANDLER 94 FEET AND MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT. HE HELPED CREATE TURNOVER OPPORTUNITIES WHICH LEAD TO EASY BUCKETS FOR THE WINNERS. HE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD TWO SPORT FUTURE AT CAMDEN CATHOLIC.

BREAKDOWN: ABREU THREW HIS HAT IN THE RING FOR MVP HONORS AFTER POSTING 15 POINTS AND DAZZLING THE CROWD WITH HIS FLOOR GAME. CHRIS PACKS A SERIOUS SKILL SET WITH SOME FLAIR ESPECIALLY IN THE OPEN FLOOR. HE SHOWED SOME RANGE ON HIS SHOT AND ABILITY TO SCORE IN BUNCHES. HE TOOK HOME THE “LORD ICE” SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD.

HIGH SCHOOL: LENAPE 

POSITION: SHOOTING GUARD 

CLASS: 2027 

BREAKDOWN: LUNDY HAD HIS OUTSIDE JUMPER IN DISPLAY BY DRAINING SEVERAL TREYS WHILE ALSO SHOWING THE ABILITY TO FINISH IN TRANSITION. I SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN HIS PLAYMAKING ABILITY IN TERMS OF GETTING OTHERS INVOVLED. HE ALSO HAS GAINED A CONFIDENT DEMEANOR BECAUSE OF THE WORK HE HAS OBVIOUSLY PUT IN OFF THE COURT. HE’S ONE OF A TALENTED CREW OF YOUNGSTERS THAT WILL MAKE LENAPE’S FUTURE BRIGHT. HE FINISHED WITH 13 POINTS IN THE WIN.

NAME: MEKHI ROBERTSON 

HIGH SCHOOL: LIFE CENTER ACADEMY 

POSITION: SHOOTING GUARD 

CLASS: 2027 

BREAKDOWN: ROBERTSON STARTED THE GAME OFF WITH A DUNK AND PROCEEDED TO PUT ON A SHOW AFTER THAT. HE SCORED THE ROCK FROM ALL THREE LEVELS AND IMPRESSED WITH HIS ABILITY TO SHOOT THE DEEP OFF THE BOUNCE. HE WAS VERY ATHELTIC WHEN FINISHING IN TRANSITION AND SEEMS TO BE A NATURAL AT THE OFF GUARD POSITION. HE SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM HIS PEERS IN TERMS OF TALENT AND POTENTIAL. HE FINISHED WITH 16 MARKERS AND TOOK HOME THE “DOC CHEW” MVP AWARD. THIS KID HAS A CHANCE TO BE SPECIAL.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: JAVION CEASAR-JONES (TCPA)

HIGH SCHOOL: TCPA 

POSITION: POINT GUARD 

CLASS: 2026 

BREAKDOWN: JAVION POSSESS CERTAIN INSTINCTS THAT POINT GUARDS ARE BORN WITH WHICH ARE HIS FEEL FOR THE GAME AND HIS COURT VISION. CEASAR-JONES REALLY ENJOYS DISHING THE ROCK AND WATCHING OTHERS SCORE. HE’S A TOUGH MATCHUP FOR DEFENDERS BECAUSE HE’S TOO BIG FOR TRADITIONAL GUARDS AND TOO QUICK FOR MAY FORWARDS. HE HAS A CHANCE TO HAVE A BREAKTHGOUGH SEASON.

FAFC PROFILE PLAYER: JAYLEN WASHINGTON (RANCOCAS VALLEY)

NAME: JAYLEN WASHINGTON 

HIGH SCHOOL: RANCOCAS VALLEY HS 

POSITION: COMBO GUARD 

CLASS: 2026 

BREAKDOWN: RV HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN THIS. WASHINGTON IS SHIFTY AND USES IT FOR SCORING AND PASSING. IT’S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR DEFENDERS TO STAY IN FRONT OF HIM ESPECIALLY WHEN HE HAS A MEAN MID RANGE PULL UP ON A DIME. I ALSO LIKE HIS SNEAKY ATHLETICISM AND WILLINGNESS TO ATTACK FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. MARK MY WORDS YOU WILL HEAR HIS NAME EARLY AND OFTEN.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: RASHEEM YON (LIFE CENTER ACADEMY)

NAME: RASHEEM YON 

HIGH SCHOOL: LIFE CENTER ACADEMY

CLASS: 2026 

BREAKDOWN: THE TRENTON PRODUCT SHEEM ROCKED WITH HIS SCHOOL BALL CREW AND GAVE THE CROWD A TREAT. HIS QUICKNESS WITH SOMETHING TO WATCH AND HE DROPS BUCKETS IN A HURRY WHILE ALSO DISHING OUT DIMES.

BREAKDOWN: GORE WAS ALSO IN THE RUNNING FOR THE MVP AWARDS. THE LANKY COMBO GUARD SCORED IN TRANSITION WHILE ALSO SHOWING SOME OUTSIDE RANGE. HE SETS UP DEFENDERS OFF THE BOUNCE WITH SLICK MOVES ALONG WITH THE PICK AND ROLL. HE HAS BEEN A PROVEN SCORER SINCE ENTERING THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL AND SHOULD CONTINUE THIS PROWESS DURING HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON. HE’S ANOTHER COG IN THE TCPA ENGINE. HE FINISHED WITH 16 POINTS FOR THE WINNERS.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: TYLER HAMMOND (TCPA)

HIGH SCHOOL: TCPA 

CLASS: 2026 

POSITION: COMBO GUARD 

BREAKDOWN: HAMMOND TOOK HOME THE “DOC CHEW” MVP HONORS AFTER DROPPING 17 MARKERS IN THE WIN. HIS LAYUP PACKAGE WAS SICK AS HE FINISHED WITH EITHER HAND AND USED BODY CONTROL TO SHIELD SHOT BLOCKERS. HE HAS DEVELOPED HIS CONFIDENCE AND FEEL FOR THE GAME OVER THE YEARS HE ATTENDED SOTLIGHT EVENTS. HE’S A VITAL PART OF TCPA SUCCESS THIS SEASON.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: BRANDON RUSSELL (ARCH BISHOP RYAN)

NAME: BRANDON RUSSELL 

HIGH SCHOOL: ARCH BISHOP RYAN 

CLASS: 2025 

POSITION: SHOOTING GUARD 

BREAKDOWN: RUSSELL DOES HIS BEST SCORING GOING DOWN HILL. ONCE HE POWERS HIS SHOULDERS HE USUALLY ENDS UP AT THE CUP. I ALSO LIKE HIS ABILITY TO MAKE DIFFICULT SHOTS. HE DEMOSTARTED GOOD BODY ON HIS WAY TO A TEAM HIGH 16 POINTS. THE PHILLY POWER ARCH BISHOP RYAN SCOOPED A GOOD SCORER.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: DJ SNEAD (PENNINGTON SCHOOL)

NAME: DJ SNEAD 

HIGH SCHOOL: PENNINGTON SCHOOL 

CLASS: 2025 

POSITION: COMBO GUARD 

BREAKDOWN: SNEAD HAD TO HANDLE A LOT OF THE BALL HANDLING DUTIES BECAUSE MERCER WAS SHORT STAFFED AT THE POSITION. I LIKED HIS DECISION MAKING AND WILLINGNESS TO GET OTHERS INVOLVED. I BELIEVE THE POINT GUARD POSITION SHOULD BE MORE OF HIS FOCUS AS HE TRIES TO PREPAPRE FOR BASKETBALL AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING PENNINGTON PLAY ESPECIALLY AGAINST TCPA.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: JOEL CINEUS (EWING HS)

NAME: JOEL CINEUS 

HIGH SCHOOL: EWING HS 

CLASS: 2025 

POSITION: FORWARD 

BREAKDOWN: JOEL COULD BE MAKING A RUN AS THE BEST JUNIOR IN MERCER COUNTY. I SAY THAT BECAUSE I SEEN AN IMPROVEMENT IN HIS ABILITY TO PUT THE BALL ON THE DECK AND MAKE PLAYS. HE HAS MORE CONFIDENCE IN HIS HANDLES AND SHOT MAKING ABILITY. HE HASN’T ABANDONED THE INSIDE GAME BUT HIS ADDED PERIMETER SKILLSET IS NOTCIABLE. HE SHOWED MAKE SOME NOISE AT EWING HIGH THIS SEASON.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: QUINN GIBSON (CHERRY HILL WEST)

NAME: QUINN GIBSON

HIGH SCHOOL: CHERRY HILL WEST

CLASS: 2025 

POSITION: SHOOTING GUARD

BREAKDOWN: THIS KID CAN STROKE IT FROM DEEP AND ISN’T AFRAID TO PULL THE TRIGGER. HE BURNED THE MERCER COUNTY SQUAD FROM LONG RANGE WHILE ALSO SCORING BENEATH THE FOUL LINE. I LIKE HIS UPSIDE AND WILLINGNESS TO TAKE BIG SHOTS. HE TOOK HOME THE "LORD ICE" SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD. 

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: ISAIAH THOMAS (PAUL VI)

NAME: ISAIAH THOMAS 

HIGH SCHOOL: PAUL VI 

CLASS: 2025 

POSITION: FORWARD 

BREAKDOWN: THOMAS IS OOZING WITH POTENTIAL AND HASN’T EVEN SCRATCHED THE SURFACE. I LIKED HIS AGILITY IN TERMS OF RUNNING THE FLOOR, REBOUNDING AND SCORING. ON DEFENS HE’S ABLE TO BLOCK OR ALTER SHOTS AND STEP OUT ON THE PERIMETER. HE HAS TWO MORE HIGH SCHOOL SEASONS TO GO AND THINGS COULD GET SCARY FOR THE OPPOSITON IF HE PUTS THE WORK IN.

FAFC PLAYER PROFILE: TRE POWELL (MEDFORD TECH)

NAME: TRE POWELL 

HIGH SCHOOL: MEDFORD TECH 

CLASS: 2024 

POSITION: POINT GUARD 

BREAKDOWN: POWELL OPERATED THE CONTROLS FOR THE SJ SENIOR SQUAD. HE PENETRATED THE LANE AT WILL AND ALSO HIT SOME BIG SHOTS. I LOVE HIS DEMEANOR ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE HE NEVER SEEMS TO GET RATTLED AND CAN WHICH GEARS IMMEDIATELY. HE’S ALSO SOLID ON THE DEFENSIVE END OF THE FLOOR WITH QUICK FEET MOVEMENT. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING TRE WITH MEDFORD TECH THIS SEASON.
