Another Play-By-Play Classic took place in the region on Wednesday as Widener University hosted the Pete & Jameer Nelson Classic. CoBL had staff in attendance for the six-game affair, which saw 10 area teams and one each from Delaware and New Jersey match up for some high-level hoops.
Here’s a brief recap of the first three games with more coverage to come:
Game Three: Lower Merion 81, Germantown Academy 34
There wasn’t much for Sam Brown to critique about his performance on Wednesday.
The Lower Merion senior guard and Penn commit scored a game-high 29 points in a runaway win over Germantown Academy.
But it was one off a career-high and Brown thought he left some meat on the bone.
“I was a little disappointed, I missed a wide open layup,” Brown said of a missed fastbreak opportunity that would have given him a career mark.
Brown estimated the 24 first-half points he put up in the first half were the most he’s scored in a half during his career. He had 14 points in the first quarter, hitting four of his seven threes in the frame.
