All-Delco Boys Basketball

Congratulations to the following basketball players from the Central League who were named to the All Delco Teams.

Carl Schaller, Garnet Valley: Helped create some history with the Jaguars in his senior season. Under the point guard’s guidance, the Jaguars won their first Central League title and reached the District 1 Class 6A semifinals. Schaller scored in double figures in all but one game, averaging 18.8 points per game. He also averaged 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest. He hit a season-high 33 points in a win over Radnor Feb. 6. Schaller was the team’s leading scorer with 20 points in the 44-35 win over Marple Newtown in the Central League semis, in the league finals win at Conestoga with 18 points and in both of the Jaguars’ districts wins, including 26 points in a 63-38 domination of Perkiomen Valley. Schaller finishes his career with 1,186 points, tied with Nate Daltry for second-most among players to spend their entire career at Garnet Valley. Last year, Schaller became the first Garnet Valley All-Delco boys basketball player since 1997-98 (Joel Smith). He’s the first player in program history to be a two-time All-Delco. He will continue his career at Gettysburg College.

John Seidman, Haverford High: The senior guard continued to do it all for the Fords, earning his second straight All-Delco nod. Seidman led the team at 14.6 points per game, the only Ford in double figures. He added six rebounds, four assists and two steals per game, serving as the team’s top defender, top scorer and top facilitator with the ball. He tied for the team lead with 15 made 3-pointers, leading Haverford to an 8-6 record and a berth in the District 1 Class 6A tournament. For highlights, Seidman scored 26 points against Garnet Valley, then 16 in an OT loss to the Jaguars, 19 points in beating Central League top seed Conestoga in the regular season, and 22 in a win at Strath Haven. In his final high school game, Seidman’s 22 points nearly willed the Fords to beat Upper Dublin in their districts opener. Seidman finished his career with 1,080 points, third in Haverford history. He’s the fifth Haverford member of the 1,000-point club and the first since 2001 (Chris Dougherty). Seidman is the first multiple-time Haverford All-Delco in boys basketball since Larry Davis (1976-77). He committed to Franklin & Marshall.
