Ryan Betley and Josh Warren led the Downingtown West High School basketball team to the Ches-Mont League title in 2015.

Four years later, as seniors on the college level, they are ready to take on starring roles for their respective Ivy League teams.

Betley, a 6-foot-5 guard, is happy to be back on the floor at Penn after he ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee in the season opener last year, writes Marc Margolis for The Daily Pennsylvanian. He led the Quakers in scoring as a sophomore in 2017-18 with 14.3 points per game and added 5.0 rebounds per outing, as he secured second-team All-Ivy League honors.

“I think I’m more mentally strong than I’ve ever been,” said Betley, who has shot 39 percent from 3-point land during his career. “I considered myself mentally strong before, but I just think the mental side of the game slowed down tremendously for me.”

“I think he is a stronger physical player as opposed to what we saw as a sophomore,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said of Betley, who is enrolled in the Wharton School of Business. “He’s going to be able to finish better (around the basket).”

Meanwhile, Warren, a 6-foot-8 forward, became the third player at Cornell in the last four decades to post 19 points, seven assists, and six rebounds in a game when he did so in a season-opening win last week over upstate New York foe Binghamton, writes Bennett Gross for The Cornell Daily Sun.

Warren is coming off a junior season in which he averaged 9.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting 53 percent from the field and 38 percent beyond the arc in 31 games.

“We’ve put a lot more of a focus on rebounding this year, and it definitely showed up tonight,” Warren said after the Big Red’s victory.
