We know it is only the first week of October, but below we ranked our “Way Too Early” Top 5 southeastern Pennsylvania “prep” school teams for the upcoming 2022-23 season. Obviously, we reserve the right to be flat our wrong here and change the rankings prior to the start of the high school season.
- SCH Academy – Elite small forward Alassane Amadou Alassane Amadou 6'9" | PF SCH Academy | 2023 State #188 Nation PA (Marquette commit) headlines a roster filled with DI prospects. Amadou is the No. 2 ranked senior in the state. Fellow senior Jaren Morton Jaren Morton 6'5" | SG SCH Academy | 2023 State PA provides high percentage three-point shooting while junior Camden Burns Camden Burns 6'0" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA (1st Team All-Inter Ac in 2021-22; pic above) is a mid-range genius. Other 2024s to watch are slasher Ron Brown III Ron Brown III 5'11" | CG SCH Academy | 2024 State PA and interior beast Caleb Alston-Nelson. Underclassmen (2025) and Patrese “Trese” Feamster Patrese “Trese” Feamster 6'4" | SG Friends Central | 2027 PA (2026) will contribute as well.
- Westtown School – The Moose don’t rebuild, they simply reload. Returning senior starters Matt Mayock Matt Mayock 6'4" | SG Westtown School | 2023 State PA (American Univ. commit) and Seyphon Triplett Seyphon Triplett 6'1" | CG Westtown School | 2023 State PA (Stonehill commit) will be backed up by a slew of high-level transfers. Newcomer Matt Gilhool Matt Gilhool 6'10" | C Long Island Lutheran | 2024 #254 Nation NY (numerous DI offers) is one of the most versatile and highly rated bigs in the state. Transfer Cameron Wallace Cameron Wallace 6'5" | SF Westtown School | 2025 State PA is one of top 2025s in Pennsylvania. He is a lethal scorer at all three levels. Additionally, Westtown added two extremely impressive underclassmen – Jayden Kelsey Jayden Kelsey 6'6" | CG Westtown School | 2025 State PA (2025) and Jordan Forsythe (2026). How quickly this squad gels will determine their success in 2022-23.
- George School – Big man Onyekachi Nzeh Onyekachi Nzeh 6'9" | PF George School | 2023 State PA (Xavier commit) has added numerous ticks to his offensive bag and is now impossible to defend. Point guard Christian Bliss (several DI offers) pushes the pace for buckets or to facilitate for teammates. Senior Dante Weise Dante Weise 6'1" | PG George School | 2023 State PA is an underrated playmaking guard. Downhill style guard Carson Mastin places constant pressure on opposing defenses. Transfer Luke Bevilacqua Luke Bevilacqua 6'10" | C George School | 2025 State #68 Nation PA (6’11”; 240-pounds) is a high-level interior prospect who is steadily adding a consistent 3-point shot to his game. The addition of Bevilacqua will allow GS to run a “twin towers” lineup at times.
- Perkiomen School – The Panthers return the region’s top stretch-4 style player in Thomas Haugh Thomas Haugh 6'9" | SF Perkiomen School | 2023 State #117 Nation PA (Florida commit) as well as 6’6” wing standout Preist Ryan and impressive shooting guard Bobby Rosenberger (SFU commit). Those three alone would make for a formidable lineup. Now add in high level combo guard DeMajh Salisbery DeMajh Salisbery 6'1" | PG Perkiomen School | 2024 State PA via transfer and you have a lineup that is unstoppable. Plus 2023 backcourt satndout Patrick Downes is a talented prospect flying under the radar. Downes can score from any spot on the floor. Keep an eye on Gabe Tanner. This 2025 prospect is just scratching the surface of his potential.
- Friends Central School – An already stacked roster was bolstered by the transfer of 1st Team All-State (non-PIAA) player Muhsin Muhammad Muhsin Muhammad 6'4" | SF Friends Central | 2024 State PA . Muhammad is a natural born scorer who posted 21.5 points and 6.5 boards per game in 2021-22. Muhammad will join electric point man Fazl Oshodi Fazl Oshodi 6'3" | CG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (offer from Radford), all-league combo guard Reid Belcher Reid Belcher 5'11" | PG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (offer from Columbia) and standout forward Colin Bowman Colin Bowman 6'2" | SF Friends Central | 2023 State PA . Keep an eye on big fella Isaac Moore Isaac Moore 6'7" | PF Life Center Academy | 2025 State NJ (6’7”). Moore’s skill set has taken tremendous steps forward and he now projects as a high-level stretch 4. 2025 shooting guard prospect Gabe Moore Gabe Moore 6'0" | CG Life Center Academy | 2026 State NJ should contribute significantly.
