Harriton’s Jadyn Gaskins is Main Line Boys Athlete of the Week (Feb. 5-11)

The senior point guard has been a key factor in the Rams’ contention for a PIAA District 1 6A playoff berth. For the Rams (13-8 as of Feb. 4), Gaskins is averaging 13.7 ppg, 2.1 spg and 3 rpg. Last winter, Gaskins missed the first dozen games due to a high ankle sprain and when he returned the guard boosted the Rams to a 7-3 record down the stretch, which qualified them for the District 1 playoffs. He averaged 10 ppg, 3.3 rpg and a team-high 2.7 deflections per contest as a junior, receiving All-Main Line second team recognition last winter. Harriton boys basketball head coach Jesse Rappaport said, “Jadyn has tremendous quickness, and burst with the basketball. He is also a standout defensive player. He really has the respect of all his teammates, and tries to make everyone better.”
