After previewing Class AA of the NEPSAC yesterday, today we’ll turn our focus to Class A in preparation for this weekend’s Scholar Roundball Classic. This is a league that has gotten increasingly deeper in recent years, with the battle for the post-season being incredibly competitive.

If you’re looking for a sleeper in Class AA of the NEPSAC this year, look no further than Wilbraham & Monson.

Cushing and Worcester are the favorites in Class AA this year. But don’t tell Tilton that. Because if recent prep school history tells us anything, it’s that underestimating Marcus O’Neil’s club is a mistake. The Rams have won three championships and been to five finals in the last nine years and even a National Prep Championship back in 2009.
