Boys: Philly Hoop Group Classic: Event Standouts (Dec. 14, 2024)

By Chad Graham

SPRINGFIELD — Hoop Group hosted its first Philly Classic at Cardinal O’Hara and showcased three competitive games from start to finish. Here are the standouts.

Scores
Westtown over Mercersburg, 61-49
Mt. Carmel over Cardinal O’Hara 57-50
Archbishop Carroll over Gill St Bernard, 81-70

~~~

Malik Brown (2027 | Cardinal O’Hara)
Mt. Carmel had 3 bigs taller than Brown, but he more than made up for it with his accurate hands on defense. When post players tried to score on him, he targeted the ball on the way up and knocked it out of their hands. Brown also used his quickness and length to beat them for rebounds. And when his team had the ball, he created opportunities to score on putbacks and by moving without the ball, winding up with 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
