Senior-heavy roster expected to repeat as Philadelphia Catholic League champions.

No. 12 Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.) enters the year with lofty expectations and a senior-laden roster that returns all major production. The reigning Philadelphia Catholic League regular season champions finished 22-5 last season, advancing to the Class 5A state quarterfinals before the postseason was cut short because of COVID-19.

A guard-oriented lineup features four Division I prospects with returning Philadelphia Catholic League MVP Rahsool Diggins, Marcus Randolph, Daeshon Shepherd and Jaylen Stinson leading the charge. Muneer Newton and Robert Jackson anchor the paint for coach John Mosco's roster without a true post presence.

Along with a brutal Philadelphia Catholic League schedule, the Vikings are slated to travel to the Beach Ball Classic and Spalding Hoophall Classic, where they are pitted against No. 11 Camden (N.J.).

This group has the experience, talent and chemistry to make a special run this season.
