While most of the area’s PIAA schools head to St. Joe’s Prep for the next two weekends for the Philly Live events, the independent schools have their own bash to throw. 

The Mid-Atlantic Independent School Shootout brings together some of the best private school programs from across Pennsylvania and New Jersey for a weekend of hoops at the Hun School (June 18-20) and Blair Academy (June 25-27).

Just about the entire Friends’ League and Inter-Academic Leagues will be in the event, as will local prep schools including Phelps School, Perkiomen School and Hill School. They’ll be joined by some of the best teams in N.J., including Blair Academy, the Hun School, St. Benedict’s Prep and a few others. The same group will meet again a week later at Blair.

Even though it’s a small event, expect many of the country’s top programs to be in attendance, with high-major talent throughout the group of schools. One major draw will be Westtown School’s 2022 center Dereck Lively II, who’s had a tremendous spring and is being wooed by the likes of Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina; his new teammate, 2022 guard Jameel Brown, has Notre Dame, Penn State and St. Joe’s amongst his main suitors.

There’s also Blair’s 2022 Otega Oweh and 2023 Jayden Lemond, Patrick School 2022 Zion Cruz and 2024 Chance Westry, ANC 2023 Elmarko Jackson, George School 2023 Kachi Nzeh, Phelps School 2023 Isaiah Miranda and others, all of whom have high-major offers.
