Monday 1/22

LaSalle (5-9, 0-5) @ Ohara (6-8, 1-5)  has the makings to be a shootout ! Both Nick Parisi for LaSalle and Flash Burton for OHara are dynamic scorers with over 20+ PPG. I know the records may not indicate it but both teams have been playing well of late!

Bonner's Deuce Ketner is tearing it up! He's averaging 21.2 PPG in the PCL, highlighted by a career-high 30 points against Devon Prep today.

Ketner joins Kevin Rucker's 34-point effort against LaSalle earlier this season, making them the first Bonner teammates to notch 30+ point games in the PCL since Isaiah Wong (44,34) and Mike Perretta (30) in 2019.
