Ever since he was a young boy, Harrison Klevan has wanted to play basketball for Lower Merion High School.
Now, he’s finally getting his chance to play a significant role for the Aces’ varsity squad — and he’s not letting it pass him by.
The senior guard has stepped up big-time for Lower Merion this season, playing a crucial role on a team that’s got Central League title aspirations, not to mention high hopes for the district and state tournaments as well.
After scoring a career-high 25 points in a win over Neshaminy on Sunday afternoon, the 6-foot-tall, 150-pound guard followed that up with a 15-point outing in a 77-69 win over Springfield (Delco.) on Tuesday evening.
“I’ve been an Aces fan for a while, so to be playing meaningful minutes for this team and producing has been really good,” he said. “Feels great.”
Born and raised in Lower Merion Township, Klevan says he’s attended basketball camps run by Aces coach Gregg Downer from the time he was four years old.
