Phoenixville Tournament
Upper Moreland 62, CR South 37
Larry Hughes and Nate Best combined for 40 points, as a big second quarter lifted Upper Moreland to an opening-round win over CR South in the first game of the Phoenixville Tournament Friday night.
The Golden Bears, who led 16-14 after one quarter, outscored the Golden Hawks 16-3 in the second to go into halftime with a 32-17 lead.
Key Players: UM was led by Larry Hughes (21 points), Nate Best (19) and Cannon Campbell (11).
Lucian Merc scored 12 for CR South.
UM coach Dan Heiland:
–Big second quarter: “That was big for us – we had a two-point lead and then being able to extend it to 15 points at halftime. That strong second quarter was obviously what set us apart. At that point, it was just tough for them. We did a good job defensively on them, and it just made it really challenging for them to really climb back into it.”
–Strong start to the season: “You have guys like Nate Best and Larry Hughes at the top of the box score with points and then Cannon Campbell scored 11 as a sophomore. He’s a guy that contributed to last year’s team. We’ve also got some new faces. We have guys that didn’t play their best game tonight, but the thing I really like about them, they play for each other. They play really tough, they make the winning basketball plays, and it shows. So even if they’re not impacting the game scoring, they’re doing other things.
“It started last year, and a lot of guys that were around. They’re buying into it and I think it’s a big reason why we got off to such a strong start this year so far.”
–Props: “With leadership like Nate Best – he was a guy that was a big part of it last year, going into your senior year. You lose so many tremendous seniors, not only basketball players, but teammates and you don’t really know what’s going on, but he did a great job of making sure guys were at offseason events, weight rooms, workouts – everything because it’s his senior year. He wants it to be special, and he’s not going to be okay with it not being another special year.”
Up Next: The Golden Bears will play in the championship game Saturday, while CR South will be in the consolation game.

CB South 61, Phoenixville 33
Kayote Adebayo scored 14 points, and CB South turned a four-point lead after one into a 32-18 advantage halftime and never looked back to beat host Phoenixville in the opening game of the Firebirds’ tipoff tournament.
CB South coach Louie Ditri:
“I think the kids came out with a bad taste in their mouth from the game on Tuesday. They practiced well for the last two days, and it showed because we played our style tonight, which leads them to have more energy. When they’re playing with energy, they tend to play with pace, which is what we want to do. It started from the tip-off and lasted four quarters.”
–Props: Koyote (Adebayo) had a nice game with 15 points, and Leo Medwid, our other big, had 12. But, really, we had 10 guys in the scoring column and locked it on defense. Cade Crim off the bench and played really well on their (top) player, as did Alex Shahin. Their number 10 is one of the quickest guards out there, or at least I think we’ll see all season for a sophomore. He’s a very good player. We asked them to step up and lock them down, and they did pretty good with that, but it really was a total team effort to hold a good team like Phoenixville to 33.”

Pennridge Tipoff Tournament
Central Bucks East 64, William Tennent 52
With a ton of new faces, CB East used a huge second quarter to create some separation from William Tennent Friday night on the way to the 12-point win in the opening game of the Pennridge Tournament.
The Patriots outscored the Panthers 19-5 in the second quarter to go into halftime with 33-16 lead.
Key Players: For CB East, Keegan Marascio had 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals, Ryan Dailey 14 points, four steals, and Henry Bartchak had six rebounds, four assists and six points.
Tennent was led by Ayden Davis-Carter’s 11 points.
CB East coach Erik Henrysen: “We have a mix of a few guys that were able to contribute last year and then a lot of new faces.
“I think most of all they enjoy competition and, even from within, fighting for minutes. I thought we had a pretty decent offseason, where guys were able to fight it out, but stay connected and together at the same time. We have probably nine or 10 contributors who played.”
–Big second quarter: “We saw Tennent when they played South, and they hit 10 3s, so we were definitely worried about guarding the perimeter. The kid Eiler had six 3s against CB South, so that was one of the kids we didn’t want to get a look. Tre Stracuzzi is a great shooter as well, so we were pretty much focused on them. They also have the addition of (Davis-Carter), and he’s a beast underneath, and they played really well against South. We thought we saw a couple of things that we needed to key on and focus on, and we did a really good job guarding the perimeter.
–Props: “I thought as a defensive unit, our guards were great. (Quinn) Slack, (Henry) Bartchak, and Keegan Marascio really did a nice job making Tennent uncomfortable. We got a huge lift out of Ryan Daily in the second and third quarters. He brought a ton of energy. He was able to hit a couple of 3s. He was just like a bolt of lightning for us.”
–Expectations: “They’ve seen what it takes. The program’s been to states. We make a point to make sure that our entire program is at everything, and they get to see it, they get to experience it. They understand how important details are. And I think the way that they were able to really execute a game plan and stay focused and shows that intensity and attention to details.”
Up Next: CB East will be back at Pennridge Saturday (1 p.m.) to take on Lansdale Catholic, while Tennent plays host Pennridge.

All-City Classic
Abington 46, West Catholic Prep 44
A big third quarter helped Abington break open a close game at halftime and then the Galloping Ghosts held on in the fourth
for the two-point win over visiting West Catholic Prep as part of the All-City Classic.
Xander Grasty was named MVP for the game.
Key Players: Xander Grasty (15 points), Faison Garland (11) and Kyler Pickron (9) led the Abington.
Abington coach Dan Marsh:
– On the game: “It was a great game, and we almost (threw) it away, but we hung on.
“We played really good defense. They’re very good. They’ve got a D-1 kid going to Florida Gulf University who’s 6-7, and we held him to 13 points. We just battled all night.
“We struggled offensively, but we were able to persevere. We actually got up 10 in the fourth quarter, but they went on a 13-0 run to take a four-point lead, and we battled back.
“We got fouled when we were up two, missed both free throws, and they came down and missed a three at the buzzer, so it was intense, it was too tense.”
–Props: “Faison Garland has just been our steady force. He’s a leader, he’s pushing everybody. Kyler Pickron played very well, and obviously Xander (Grasty).
“We also got Ray Rice back from injury. He’s only allowed to play three or four minutes a half, but Malcom Lucas, our 6-7 center, got in foul trouble, and Ray had to go in and guard the 6-7 kid at the end, and he did a great job.
“It was a team victory though. I was really proud of everybody. They’re all bought in, and they’re all working hard.”

PUB/SOL Tournament
Pennsbury 61, Northeast 38
A slow start in the season-opener was only a roadblock for Pennsbury, which pulled away for the 23-point win over Northeast High Friday in the tournament opener at Bensalem.
The Falcons trailed 11-1 at one point, and then held a 54-20 advantage the rest of the way.
Key Players: Brayden Clark led the Falcons with 15 points, while Patrick Jajua added 12 and Max Manga 10 points, 12 points and three blocks.
Pennsbury coach Wes Emme: “We had a tough week. We were watching everybody else play. I think we came out and we were a little anxious to start the game and a little sloppy, and they jumped on us.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Northeast. Steve Novosel, their head coach, is one of the best coaches in the Philadelphia Public League. That team plays really hard. They defend you the full length of the floor the whole game. They mix things up, they show different defenses, and I think Tanir Williams is a really tough player. He had some difficult shots and some deep threes early in the game that got them some momentum.”
–Props: “I think Brayden Clark had an outstanding full-court game today. We were defending the full length of the floor and then making plays in the full court. Max Manga was excellent on the backboard for us, creating opportunities at the rim, and then finishing and getting us extra shots.
“Some of the other guys did a lot of really good stuff, like Zach Staines, who’s not going to get a lot of notoriety throughout the year because he’s not going to score a 
whole bunch of points, but he came in in the second period, had three steals that kind of got the momentum shifted in our direction. And then once that happened, it was kind of like an avalanche.”
–The sophomores: “Our two sophomores, Patrick Jajua and Brayden Clark, are just immensely talented. They are shot makers. They’re creators with the basketball, good passers. They do a lot of the stuff in the game that you work on in the offseason. So those two guys are going to have big years for us.
“I know Pat didn’t shoot the ball really well from the perimeter tonight, but he was a steadying force, hand on the ball and getting us in the offense. And the moment’s just not too big for him, a kid that plays the high-level AAU that he does.
“So those two guys are going to be our horses with the basketball. And then, the two guys I mentioned before, Max Manga – he’s going to be a big piece of what we do. Sean Breslin got into foul trouble early in the game, and that kind of threw off our rotation a little bit. But I was proud of how we kind of weathered the storm with other guys.”
Up Next: Pennsbury will play Palumbo on Saturday at Bensalem (3:30).

Forrest Keys Tournament
Lower Moreland 52, Thomas Edison 42
After a rough season a year ago, Lower Moreland started the 2025-26 campaign off in style with a 10-point win over visiting Thomas Edison in the opening round of the Forrest Keys Tournament.
“This is our season opener and our first win in 2025, including last season,” said coach Dicky Rhoades. “We had a positive outlook. We knew nothing about (Edison), so we went in really blind and we just tried to focus on just our game. We wanted to do the little things right is really what our message was. It was – go out, play your game, play together as a team, and just do the little things.”
LM coach Dicky Rhoades:
“A big weakness for us has been boxing out, giving up second chances. We did a really good job on the boards tonight. And we made a lot of shots in the beginning.
“Tristan (Vizcarrondo) made four 3s in the first half that really just ignited our offense. We had 17 assists on, I believe, 20 field goals.”
–A new season: “They had a year of varsity basketball. We only lost two seniors, so most of these guys played last year, and, obviously, we struggled. The message was – you guys have experience now, you understand the speed (of the game). We’ve got to get stronger with the ball. Our biggest weakness was turnovers. We’ve got to learn to play at that pace and just be comfortable with the ball. And we did a good job. We had a lot of turnovers again tonight, but I think we moved the ball really well.
“We picked each other up when we did make a mistake, keeping them positive and just believing in each other – a lot of trust in your teammates. We’ve been working a lot in the offseason. We were three days a week four months in the spring, and then we were three days a week in the fall. So, we put a lot of work in, and there’s a lot of confidence and trust as a whole.”
–Props: “Tristan Vizcarrando had (21) points. He had four 3s in the first half, three of them in the first quarter that gave us a good lead, and then a couple fast break layups. Tom Maloney and Nathaniel Udall did really well, and Luke Wheeler. They did really well on the boards. They boxed out great, and our guards came and got the rebounds.
“Luke gave great minutes off the bench. Maloney was sick tonight and worked his butt off. And Nathaniel was just a great presence on defense and helped relieve some pressure on offense. Shawn Mertens, Tommy Keaton, and Chase Carroll all gave really good minutes and helped relieve pressure bringing the ball up and getting us set up into our offense. We got a lot of assists from those three guys, so we really had like a seven-man rotation.
“I even said in the locker room – I don’t think one person deserved a game ball that was such a team effort. Seventeen assists is a crazy number, and just the way we played and picked each other up – it was a really good team effort.”
Up Next: Lower Moreland will host MaST Charter Saturday (1:30 p.m.) in the second game of the tournament.

Quakertown 47, Owen J. Roberts 42
Quakertown rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to get past Owen J. Roberts for the Panthers first win of the 2025-26 season.
A 16-6 run in the fourth quarter was the difference in the game.
Key Players: Trae McCray scored 19 points to lead Quakertown, including nine in the fourth quarter. Jameson Sykes added nine points.
Quakertown coach Tony DaCosta:
–On the game: “I was really happy because we were really disappointed when it was 9-2 in the first quarter but then it was 15-14 at the end of the second. We didn’t come out really strong the first three minutes of the Truman game, and we were only down eight with two minutes to go in the third and then it got away from us. So we really preached about having some real mental toughness, physical toughness, making sure that we play through adversity and don’t get too down on ourselves. And the guys did it tonight, because we were down to 10 in the third, and the guys really showed some fortitude and resiliency and fought back, and I was really happy with that, and I think that galvanized them to finish it off in the fourth quarter.”
–Bouncing Back: “I knew the guys were really kind of down after taking that type of loss from Truman – and Truman did an outstanding job. Unfortunately, the things that we did earlier in the game, we didn’t do late in the game, and we paid for it. And Truman took it to us. But I was really happy that we were able to bounce back with tonight’s performance and really showed some moxie and some toughness.”
–Props: I’m looking for (McCray) and Jamison and Mason Rush and other guys just to be aggressive because they’re guys that have some varsity experience. They’ve been through some wars. And I’m counting on those guys to really be aggressive on the offensive end and just continue to push the ball up the floor, really attack downhill. And I think if we do that, then we’ll put ourselves in a better position each time we play.
“We’re just trying to get better because we have a lot of guys that don’t have a lot of varsity experience. So we’re trying to make sure that through practices and through everything we do, that there’s improvement every day. Even if it’s 1 percent, we need that improvement consistently so we can build on this season.”

Springfield Twp 69, Science Leadership 31
Julian Ciasullo scored 15 of his game-high 21 in the first half, as Springfield jumped out early in this one and never looked back.

Key Players: Ciasullo (21 points, 4 assists) and Clay Trejbrowski (10) were both in double figures for Springfield. Cahlin Spearman (9 points, 4 rebounds) and Will McLaughlin (8 points, 3 rebounds) also made important contributions.
Springfield coach Mike DiCandilo:
“Tonight was a great team effort by our guys. They played together and there was no drop off between the starters and the bench. Our guys are extremely hard workers and listen to everything we ask them to do. It’s fun to coach them and watch them succeed early on in the season. They play for each other and want the best for their teammates.”
–Props: “Julian Ciasullo was ready to go on both ends of the floor. He finished really well tonight around the rim and was a great leader. Our bench also stepped up big time and gave us great minutes. Every guy who came in the game was ready to go and playing hard for their teammates. Nate Davis and AJ Cooper had a great week of practice and gave us some great minutes tonight.”
