1) Liberty at Arbor View – Two of the top players in the C/O 2020 go head to head in this game. Liberty is led by Gonzaga commit Julian Strawther. The 6’6 scorer leads a deep and talented team. Liberty may be perhaps the most complete team in the state. They feature a clear go-to player in Strawther, two terrific PG’s in Dante Davis and Lorenzo Abellar, and perhaps the best 1 on 1 post player in the state in rising Sophomore Joshua Jefferson. They also have outside shooting in the form of Kobe Stroughter. Arbor View has their own stud in future Rebel Donavan Yap. They are a deep and experienced, senior-led squad that features several contributors. Larry Holmes is one of the top two way players in the state. David Moore is a versatile defender and the heart and soul of the team.
2) Canyon Springs at Durango – Perhaps the most entertaining game of the week. This game probably could double as a track meet, as both programs rely on tempo and pressure defense. Canyon will be lead by their big 3 of Jhadon Banks, Zarius Benson-Moore and Alexander Spaight. Durango will counter with a big 3 of their own featuring the dynamic backcourt of Anthony Hunter and Rebel commit Keshon Gilbert. As well as the versatile Kendrick Gilbert.
3) Faith Lutheran at Spring Valley – One of the more intriguing games of the week. These teams are built similarly. Both rely on strong powerful guards. Amari James for Spring Valley, and Azavier Johnson for Faith. The production for the other starters may decide the outcome. Faith has the sharpshooting Nicholas Attanasio, Jackson Williams a lockdown defender, and Jason Sims a heady PG. Spring Valley will counter with the toughness of Michael Martin, and Frank Bartley, and the dynamic play of James Webster.
