SOL Colonial Division
Central Bucks East 69, North Penn 42
Friday, CB East had a chance to wrap up a third straight Colonial Division title at home on Senior Night but was upset by Souderton.
That put all the pressure on the Patriots to win Tuesday, at second-place North Penn, if it wanted sole possession of the championship. And the team responded to that pressure with a convincing road victory to close out the regular season.
“We seemed to put ourselves in a pressure situation,” said East coach Erik Henrysen. “Credit to Souderton, they really handled us.
“Tonight, our guys came out ready to play. It was a big test. You’re not ever sure how a team is going to respond to a disappointing loss like that. It was a test to see how we would respond.”.
East led 18-12 after one and 35-21 at halftime. Then, in the third quarter, North Penn threatened early to get back into it, but the Patriots answered back, stretched the lead back to double figures and they blew the game wide open in the fourth quarter.
“Early on, both teams were a little slow to put the ball in the basket,” Henrysen said. “As we got going, we started to find ourselves bit by bit.
“At the start of the third quarter, (North Penn) came out and scored five quick points. When we responded, that was big for us.”
Tyler Dandrea had a game-high 17 points, including two 3-pointers and 10 points in the first quarter. East had nine 3-pointers as a team.
Jacob Cummiskey had 14 points, Joey Giordano 13 points, five assists and three steals and Kyle Berndt 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
Ryan Deininger scored 10 points to lead North Penn.
East (19-3, 14-2 SOL) now turns its attention to the postseason, where it will likely be the No. 2 seed and host a game in the SOL Tournament, which starts Friday, and then the No. 4 seed and earn a first-round bye in the PIAA District One Class 6A Tournament.
North Penn (17-5, 12-4 SOL) will play on the road in the SOL Tournament Friday, and unofficially at No. 6, looks in pretty good position to earn a first-round bye in districts.

Pennridge 55, Central Bucks South 52
The regular-season finale showed off Pennridge’s versatility once again, as the Rams went on the road and pulled away late for the three-point win over CB South, which saw its postseason hopes
come to an end with its fourth straight loss.
Early on, however, the Rams found themselves in a huge hole, as the Titans led 18-4 at one point, 18-10 after one quarter and 31-22 at halftime.
“Same as happened at CB West,” said Rams coach Dean Behrens. “We’re really struggling starting games out. I can’t figure it out, but credit to our kids. They always have moxie and mental toughness and can handle falling behind. They never stopped playing.”
CB South’s Chris Granito hit one of his four 3-pointers early in the third, but Pennridge followed with a run, and outscored the Titans by a 16-8 margin in the quarter to get back into the game.
“We got some confidence,” Behrens said. “CB South has had a tough year. They probably didn’t win as many games as they thought they would. Once they went down, it was tough to recover, but it was still back and forth, a one-point game and we made some free throws and were able to hang on the last 40 seconds.”
Senior Matt Campione scored a game-high 24 points to lead Pennridge, including 7 of 9 from the free throw line. Xavier Peters missed a chunk of 
the second half after “banging his knee” but still finished with 11 points. Behrens also credited Gannon Perlini, who came off the bench with nine points.
Pennridge (15-7,10-6 SOL) will now play in both the SOL and District One Class 6A Tournaments. It will be on the road Friday in the SOL quarterfinals, likely against Colonial Division champ CB East, and then is in position to get a first-round home game, sitting in the No. 16 position in the district power rankings.
“I’m proud of this team, proud of the program,” Behrens said. “It took all 17 guys to get us to the playoffs. The JV team too. It’s been 82 days of basketball. It’s a long season. We play or practice six days a week, and the boys hung in there. They stayed focused. (A 15-7 record) is a real credit to them.”
CB South (9-13, 9-7 SOL) was led Tuesday by senior forward Tyler Meinel, who had 22 points, and Granito who finished with 14 points.

Souderton 58, Central Bucks West 32
The Indians followed Friday’s impressive win over division champ Central Bucks East with a decisive win over the Bucks to close out their season. The season had its disappointing stretches, but the ending was a good one.
“I’m proud of the group,” said coach Okoteh Sackitey. “The season didn’t go the way we wanted as a whole, but the fact that they didn’t give up when they could have – they could have mailed in the season, but they never did.
“They always kept competing and stayed competitive against good teams, and that says so much about their character and who they are. I was proud of them for that.”
The Indians, who jumped out to 16-8 lead, took a 25-14 lead into halftime. James Blair’s eight points led the Indians in the half. They put the game out of reach with a 17-16 third quarter that was highlighted by a pair of Aiden Maue 3-pointers.
Maue led Souderton with 16 points – 12 in the second half. Blair added 15, and Jared Zimmerman also finished in double figures with 10 points. Chanse Salone added eight.
“The future is really bright for Souderton basketball,” Sackitey said. “Returning (Aiden) Maue and Chanse (Salone) is going to be huge. Maue just got more and more comfortable every game. He’s extremely talented, extremely capable. Seeing him grow as a person and seeing him get more and more comfortable out there was really fun to watch.
“Chanse had to grow up quickly, and he did a great job all year and played a much more mature brand of basketball. He played older than he is. He’s going to be a force in the Suburban One for the next three years. He will play at the next level if he wants to. He’s just a great competitor, a great basketball mind. He can score or share the ball, and he’s getting that experience being on the floor to close out games, hitting big shots, making the right play and he played really good defense. He has quick hands, got a lot of steals, and he’s helping us rebound. He just has that Mamba mentality, that Kobe Bryant mindset, and loves to compete.”
Souderton finished the season with an 8-14 record (7-9 SOL).
CB West, which finished at 7-15 (5-11 SOL), was led by Michael Fountain’s seven points. Colin McKenna and Trey Reed both had six points.

SOL Patriot Division
Neshaminy 58, Bensalem 53
After losing in heart-breaking fashion at the buzzer on Friday, Neshaminy played well down the stretch to win a close game and finish up the regular-season portion of its schedule with the five-point road win over Bensalem.
“It was just a back and forth game,” said Neshaminy coach Mark Tingle. “We were up by eight after the first quarter, down by one at half, up two after the third quarter. We kept trading buckets in the fourth quarter. Fortunately, we were able to go up 3 or 4, make foul shots to stay up and get a few more shots to fall.”
Neshaminy lost to Patriot Division rival Council Rock North on a buzzer beater for the second time this season on Friday. Tingle expected another close game Tuesday and wasn’t surprised.
“Our league in general, and the other division with crossovers, it’s battle after battle,” he said. “It’s always nice to be on the winning side, especially after a tough one at the buzzer the other night.”
Sean Curley and Emeer Coombs had 13 points each to lead Neshaminy, while Nate Townsend had 12 and Ashton Lovelance 10 points. Curley also finished with eight rebounds and five assists, while Townsend and Lovelace each grabbed five boards.
Bensalem was led by Eric Gonzalez with 15, Antonio Morris with 13 and Jaidyn Moffitt with 10 points.
“It was another tough league battle,” Bensalem coach Ron Morris said. “We got down early, came back and took the lead but couldn’t hold it.
“We hope to hold onto a district playoff spot. If we get in, anything can happen. We hope this group gets one more chance to compete together. Eric (Gonzalez) and Jack (Wineburg) have been a part of the program since I’ve been head coach. They’re special. And Gavin (Schroeder) has been awesome for us, playing two years and two years being a manager after injuries ended his playing days. Congrats to Neshaminy on the W.”
Both teams now await their postseason fate.
Neshaminy (14-8, 10-6 SOL) will likely play in the Suburban One League Tournament on the road Friday in a quarterfinal game. Unofficially, it is locked in at No. 19 for the upcoming PIAA District One Class 6A Tournament.
Bensalem (12-10, 7-9 SOL) is unofficially at No. 22.

Mike Burns scored 12 points in the first quarter, leading CR South out of the blocks with a 24-point opening eight minutes on the way to a dominant 61-20 win over Harry S. Truman in the season finale for both teams on Tuesday.
Twelve different Golden Hawks scored in the game, and they hit 10 3-pointers, led by Evan Bidwell with four 3s.
CR South led 24-5 after one quarter and 41-9 at halftime.
Burns and Bidwell ended the game with 12 points each, while Timmy Rahill was also in double figures with 10 points.

Abington 69, Quakertown 48
Junior Kamari Brasher scored a game-high 21 points off the bench and also had five rebounds and two blocks, as Abington secured its spot in the District One Class 6A Tournament with a 20-point win over visiting Quakertown Tuesday on Senior Night.
The Galloping Ghosts (12-10, 10-6 SOL), who were 0-3 to start the season and at one point 3-6, look secure in the No. 20 position in the District One Class 6A power rankings for the 24-team postseason district tournament, which starts Feb. 17.
Abington shot 58.6 percent (27-for-46) from the field, and had 16 assists on 27 field goals.
Aside from Brasher, Paul Glants and Kellen Ingram were also in double figures with 10 points. Glants also finished with eight assists, one steal and one block. Jeremiah Lee had eight points, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks, while Damon Rawls finished with five points, five rebounds and two blocks.
Quakertown finished its season with an 8-14 record overall (5-11 SOL). The Panthers were led Tuesday by Kyle Rosenberger with 14 points, and 13 each for Miles Longacre and Ty Wilkin.

Plymouth Whitemarsh 62, Wissahickon 59
PW had already clinched sole possession of the SOL Liberty Division title and also likely a high seed in the upcoming District One Class 6A Tournament.
Tuesday was about wrapping up a perfect 16-0 season in the SOL and the program’s first 20-win season since 2018.
It wasn’t easy, but in the end, the Colonials emerged with the 62-59 win.
Wissahickon, on the outside of the district playoff bubble looking in, came out like it was desperate for a big win and led 13-6 after one and 29-19 at halftime.
“If you look at our scores throughout the season, I don’t know if we’ve had any of these, and you can’t go into the playoffs with that,” said PW coach Jim Donofrio. “Our guys played an exceptional game against Upper Dublin, focused, precision and concentration defensively.
“Everything about this was odd, and odd is not a good thing in a sports season. Instead of playing Friday, you’re playing Thursday. Now you’re off Friday after you’ve won the league. You’re getting praised on Saturday for your performance, you have Sunday off.
“Even though the kids want to play well every game, you’re human. It happens in the NBA, and it happens in high school. They hear me say all the time, happiness is not a requirement for success in this competitive world. It just isn’t. In fact, it often hurts you.
“Then you go to Wissahickon, and they’re not sure what a win does for them as far as moving up in the ranks, but I know they’re not
going to give anything but 110 percent. For the seniors, it’s their last night, so everything about the night emotionally doesn’t work in your favor.
“We played Wissahickon the first time, and it was a comfortable win (78-34), but your emotions of that night you’re not going to replicate. That was for the 500th win, they were all focused, and you can’t copy that.
“Tonight, you go 6-for-6 down the stretch with free throws, but you’re still throwing the ball all over the place, you’re still not quite there, and you win the game. A great sign for a championship level team.”
PW scored just six points in the first quarter and trailed 29-19 at halftime. But in the second half, the Colonials turned it on with 22 points in the third and 21 in the fourth and in the end were able to make the plays to pull out the win.
Chase Coleman and Qudire Bennett scored 19 points each for PW. Coleman scored 15 in the second half. Jaden Colzie had 11 of his 14 points in the second half as well. Bennett had three 3-pointers in the third quarter.
“I think I scared my coaches because I was much too calm in the game,” Donofrio said. “But at some point, you’ve proven you’re 19-2, and you now deserve the chance to show you can pull this out without over-coaching. It’s okay to lose the game if you want. You’re not bringing your effort, so what do you want to do about that? You know exactly what to do and you’re not doing it. It’s in your hands.
“I just was impressed with the way they responded to that. It was a really good win. As they say, you’d much rather win ugly than lose. I’m happy that we had a 20-win season, and to win the league undefeated is a really cool accomplishment. It’s not easy to do. The kids saw real adversity tonight. It’s all part of it, but as good as we’ve been, we’ve got to go another level.”
PW (20-2, 16-0 SOL) looks to be the No. 3 seed, with a first-round bye in the district playoffs. First, however, it will play in the eight-team SOL Tournament, starting Friday night at home, likely against Neshaminy.
Wissahickon, which was just 15-for-24 from the foul line for the game, was led by Jaylon Williams with 25 points, Dom Vacchiano with 15 and Earl Stout with 10.
The Trojans finished their season with a 10-12 overall record (9-7 SOL).

Upper Dublin 40, Hatboro-Horsham 33
Coming off a difficult loss to first-place Plymouth Whitemarsh, the Flying Cardinals returned home and looked to celebrate their seniors on Senior Night on Tuesday.
What transpired in the game was nearly a nightmare for Upper Dublin, as it was outplayed in the first half and had to rally from behind in the second half to pull away for the seven-point regular-season ending win over rival Hatboro-Horsham.
“All the kids know each other,” said UD coach Derek Brooks. “(HH) came out – and to be honest, I was very unhappy with our first half – and they outworked us. I think we thought we would show up and it would be easy. But tonight, give (HH) credit, but our effort needed to be better to start the game.”
Noah Schlosser scored nine points in the first half for the Hatters, who led the game 11-4 after one quarter and 21-19 at halftime.
“We got a little fired up in the locker room,” Brooks said. “Our energy level, our focus was not where it needed to be. In the second half, we were able to get turnovers that led to points. We scored 15 points in the third quarter, and finally were playing harder than them. It’s amazing how effort usually wins a high school game.”
H-H scored just 12 points the entire second half.
Ryan Mulroy scored six points and Griffin Pensabene had five in a third quarter that saw UD hold a 15-4 margin to turn the tide.
“The whole game, Griffin Pensabene, personally from start to finish played like his hair was on fire,” Brooks said. “Defensively, distributing the ball, getting out and running, he knocked down a ‘3’ in the third quarter. He was huge.”
Mulroy finished with 10 and Pensabene with nine to end up as high scorers for the Flying Cardinals, who finished the regular season with a 17-5 record (13-3 SOL).
They will play in the SOL Tournament starting Friday, likely at William Tennent, and are holding at No. 5 in the District One Class 5A power rankings.
H-H saw its season come to an ended with a 6-16 final record (5-11 SOL)

SOL Freedom Division
Cheltenham 67, Springfield Twp 38
The Panthers haven’t given up yet.
On the outside looking in at a District One Class 6A playoff bid, Cheltenham first knew it had to win its Freedom Division finale against Springfield on Tuesday.
It also knew it needed some help from other teams and needs to win Friday’s all-important nonleague game against Penn Wood.
So far, so good, after a 29-point win over Springfield.
“Friday is the teller,” said Panthers coach Patrick Fleury. “I’ve got to become a bracketeer very soon. I’ve got to learn these algorithms and be a better forecaster of who’s going to do well when and where.
“One thing I can say is it wasn’t a great year, but the Mike Tomlin thing is still alive; five years without a losing season.”
Cheltenham wrapped up the league portion of its schedule with a 10-6 SOL record. It is 11-10 and unofficially sits on the outside – No. 26 – of the 24-team district playoff field.
No. 24 Conestoga, as well as No. 25 Springfield-Delco have finished its seasons. There is a chance that Cheltenham could leapfrog one or both should it beat a 15-6 Penn Wood team on Friday.
Against Springfield, Kamani Healey scored 10 first-half points and finished with a game-high 17 points to lead the way. Malik Hughes scored 11, including eight in the first quarter, while Josiah Hutson added 10 points.
“The younger guys played well,” Fleury said. “I think it was a combination. The last two games they’ve put together valiant efforts, and they’ve been rewarded.
“We’ve got to get to Friday, handle business and see what happens. We’re on the outside looking in, so any game is important. We’re going to put forth our best effort and see where we land after the 22 games.”
Dylan McKenzie scored nine points and added three rebounds, Brett Smith had eight and two assists, and Miles Goodwin contributed six points and four rebounds for Springfield, which wrapped up its season with a 7-15 record (2-14 SOL)

Lower Moreland 68, William Tennent 48
It likely won’t be enough to allow Lower Moreland to sneak into the District One Class 5A playoff field, but for one night, the Lions had it all going and in doing so upset SOL Freedom Division champ William Tennent in the regular-season finale for both teams.
LM hit 11 3-pointers on the night, led by junior Carl Barnette, who had five 3-pointers, including four in the first half, for a game-high 19 points.
“We’ve been pretty proud of the boys,” said Lions coach Seth Barron. “We’ve been playing our best basketball the last two weeks. I’m not surprised we won tonight. Tennent is a great team, they won our league, and we were looking forward to this game.”
Tom Pryzblinski added 16 points for LM, while Kevin Hegedus and Donato Incolligno had 10 points each. In the fourth quarter, the Lions were 10-for-11 from the free throw line.
“Ian Alicea, John Kroll, Gabe Krutsingers, our guards, did a great job spreading the floor,” Baron said. “(Tennent) wanted to pressure us, but we were confident with the speed we have, we could kick it to the corners and the shooters would knock them down.”
Alicea finished with 10 assists on the night.
As far as the District One Class 5A playoffs, only 12 teams make the field, and after Tuesday’s win, LM ended up, unofficially, in the No. 13 spot. The Lions finished the season 4-1 in their last time through the division schedule and finished 10-12 overall and 8-8 in the SOL.
Tennent was led by Kirby Mooney with 21 and George Marion with 15 points. The two combined to go 16-for-21 from the free throw line.
The Panthers (16-6, 11-5 SOL) will host a SOL Tournament quarterfinal game on Friday, likely against Upper Dublin. They are unofficially in the No. 12 spot in the District One Class 6A power rankings and will host a first round district playoff game on Feb. 17.

Jon Clark and Colson Campbell scored 13 points each, as Upper Moreland wrapped up its regular season with a blowout win over New Hope-Solebury on Tuesday.
