Archbishop Carroll vs. Friends’ Central (12:00 PM)
This fun matchup features two teams that aren’t shy at all about utilizing their depth all over the court, though each have some no-doubt stars. For Friends’ Central, those stars include 6-3 senior wing Logyn Greer (Colorado), 6-2 sophomore wing Zya Small, 5-6 senior guard Nal’la Bennett (Stony Brook) and 6-0 senior forward Kaiya Rain Tucker (Siena), but keep an eye out on 6-0 freshman forward Faith Watson, 5-2 senior guard Saniyah Washington and more that head coach Vinny Simpson can utilize at his disposal. Carroll junior Alexis Eberz, with offers from Villanova and Marquette, is their biggest name, though she’s got plenty of seniors around her like Olivia Nardi, Brooke Olender and Brigid Archbold as well as her own younger sister, freshman wing Kayla Eberz, who’s got one of the brightest upsides around.
