Top First Round Match Ups:
Hillsboro vs. Parkway Central: A battle of contrasting teams featuring the size of No. 4 seed Hillsboro and the quickness of No. 5 seed Parkway Central. Hillsboro is led by 6’8″ 2018 Division I prospect Gaven Pinkley and 6’5″ 2019 forward Michael Brewer. Parkway Central is smaller, yet very athletic with high-scoring 5’11” 2018 guard Deandre Campbell leading the way. Arther Green, a 6’3″ 2018 jumping jack, plays a lot bigger than his actual size.
Parkway West vs. Parkway South: These two solid teams are meeting for the second time this season. Parkway West won the first meeting in overtime to win the Parkway Round Robin Tournament earlier this season. West has done an excellent job of rebuilding its team around the talents of 6’8″ Yale commit Wyatt Yess. South features a well-balanced unit with multiple players who are capable of leading the team in scoring on a given night.
