A couple teams did hit the road this past weekend for games at national events like the Gym Rats Challenge (NY) and the UA Memorial Day Classic (IN). One or two other teams stayed local and took the court at the Junior 76ers Classic (DE/PA).
The results of those events produced zero movement at the top of this week rankings. However a new team makes its debut in the Top 10 rankings.
Below is the seventh edition of the Spring 2021 southeastern Pennsylvania’s 15U grassroots teams Top 10 rankings.
- Team Final EYBL: After going 3-0 at the Gym Rats Live event, Team Final remains at No. 1 in our rankings for the 4th week in a row. This deep and talented squad is now 13-2 in their last fifteen games. This past weekend their average margin of victory was 18 points. Nick Coval Nick Coval 6'1" | CG Parkland | 2024 State PA returned from injury and played outstanding up in Albany, NY. Robert Wright III Robert Wright III 6'0" | PG Montverde Academy (FL) | 2024 State #35 Nation FL was rock steady as always. Amir Williams Amir Williams 6'6" | SF Neuman-Goretti | 2024 State PA and Moses Hipps Moses Hipps 6'4" | SG AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ also played well.
- Philly Pride National UAA: After a solid showing at the Southern Jam Fest (VA), Philly Pride National UAA headed to Indiana for the Under Armour Memorial Day tournament. For the second straight event, scoring point guard Ty Burton Ty Burton 5'10" | PG Moravian Prep | 2024 State NC turned heads with his shooting against elite national competition. Ryan Williams Ryan Williams 6'3" | SG Malvern Prep | 2024 State PA and Reggie Selden, Jr. were consistent performers across all 5 games (3-2). Big fella Matt Gilhool Matt Gilhool 6'10" | C Long Island Lutheran | 2024 #254 Nation NY was a beast on the interior.
- K-Low Elite: This squad wrapped up their spring 2021 season two weeks ago with a 1-1 showing during an Under Armour event down at the UA House in Baltimore. Darren Williams Darren Williams 6'4" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA , Touari “Deuce” Ketner and the rest of K-Low Elite next take the court at the Battle for the Bell in July. This group finished the spring season with an impressive 5-2 run over their last 7 games.
- Team Final Red HGSL: This injury riddled TFR squad was in desperate need of a weekend off and they finally got one over the Memorial Day holiday. Hopefully some of their bigs will get healthy and return to help David Fridia David Fridia 6'6" | PF Allentown Central Catholic | 2024 State PA on the interior. Jake West Jake West 6'1" | PG William Penn Charter | 2025 State #193 Nation PA has been outstanding all spring. Fridia, West and their teammates return to action at the Big Shots / Team Final event on June 5th & 6th.
- Philly Revolution: Two weeks ago the Revolution traveled to the Southern Jam Fest and found tough sledding on the national scene (1-2). After a “bye” during Memorial Day weekend, Jalil Bethea Jalil Bethea 6'4" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2024 State #5 Nation PA , Josh Reed and company should be rested and ready for the Big Shots / Team Final tourney on June 5th & 6th.
