GREEN UPDATE

La Salle University’s Rodney Green was named the Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week Monday. The senior guard averaged 23.5 points and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field. The Prep Charter grad also racked up a career-high 32 points against Charlotte last Saturday and set career highs in field goals (12) and field goals attempted (25). His performance was the most points scored by an Explorer since Steven Smith tallied 41 in 2005.

MONARCHS UPDATE

The Monarchs 12-and-under girls’ soccer team made a solid showing at the Kick It 3v3 Soccer World Championship in Walt Disney World earlier this month by finishing with a 3-3 record.

After dropping two games in pool play to top-10 ranked teams, they advanced to the second round with victories over Nashville and Chicago. After knocking off Georgia in the next round, the Monarchs moved on to play another squad from Chicago that happened to be the current No. 1 team. The Monarchs lost 4-1, which eliminated them from tournament play.

“They had a great experience and we’re very proud of their accomplishment,” coach Walter Stewart said.
