They ran into a buzzsaw in the form of a red hot Corona Centennial squad. The Gales are still the team to beat in Nevada, however with Noah Taitz sideline, and newly arrived center Chris Bento still getting acclimated to their system, the Gales have some depth questions that need to be answered. They are on the road again this week as they face Lake Oswego in the opening round of the Las Schwab Invitational.</p> <p><strong>2. Desert Pines: 5-2</strong> – <em>Last Week 3-1 - </em>The Jaguars lost to Sacramento so there's that. Outside of that, they won three high-level games defeating Mayfair, Capital and Oak Ridge to take down the Eight Bracket Title. Milos Uzan is getting major National attention and Dayshawn Wiley has solidified himself as a D1 prospect.</p> <p><strong>3. Liberty: 5-3</strong> – <em>Last Week 3-1</em> – The Patriots battled in the 8 bracket this week getting 3 victories. As usual, <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jaylon-lee/">Julian Strawther</a> was a bucket. The Patriots head out to So - Cal for the Damien Classic this week.</p> <p><strong>4. Coronado: 4-3</strong> – <em>Last Week 2-2</em> – Coronado fell to Corona Centennial again in the quarterfinals of the Tarkanian Classic.</p> <p><strong>5. Durango: 7-2</strong>– <em>Last Week 3-1</em> – The Trailblazers have quietly put together a terrific start to the season. They haven't lost to a team from the state of Nevada all season.
