Top 10 Returning Scorers
*My “coverage” area includes all teams from the Philadelphia Catholic, Inter Ac, and Central Athletic leagues*
Last season, the area was buzzing with prolific scorers like All-American Jalil Bethea (Archbishop Wood → University of Miami) and Bryce Rollerson (Germantown Academy → Academy of New Church). With the top four scorers now departed, the spotlight shifts to a new group of returning players ready to lead their teams.
