The 15th annual Wally Keller Classic took place this weekend at Charlotte High with 15 varsity boys basketball games between two gyms on campus.
There were a lot of matchups and a slew of talent on hand.
Here is a look at the top standouts (Part 1) from Friday and Saturday. Our Orlando area writer Erik Young joined me to cover the action on Saturday and will release his notebook series this week.

There are endless reasons why Orlando Christian Prep is 19-0 and running red hot this season. 2021 6-0 guard Omar Figueroa Omar Figueroa 6'0" | PG Orlando Christian Prep | 2021 State FL averaged 20.0 PPG with 22 points on Friday night in a win over Charlotte and 18 points on Saturday night against Andrew Jackson.

was equally as impressive averaging 15.5 PPG this weekend with 18 points on Friday. He makes it look easy as a slasher and his mix of length and ballhandling ability are hard to slow down on both ends of the floor. 2022 6-4 guard

turned it on during a Saturday victory as he totaled 17 points and an early start with smooth attacks and jumpers. Orlando Christian Prep is full of no non-sense prospects who play well together.

surged for Charlotte. He dropped 24 points in Saturday night’s loss to Bishop McLaughlin. He is playing aggressively as an attacker, handling the rock and going out with full effort for his hometown program. Florida Atlantic is getting a good one this fall.
Mikey Shane Mikey Shane 6'0" | CG East Lake | 2021 State FL │East Lake
2021 East Lake guard Mikey Shane Mikey Shane 6'0" | CG East Lake | 2021 State FL broke a Wally Keller Classic record with nine 3’s in a convincing victory over Vero Beach. The 6-0 guard recorded 29 points and hit open 3-pointer after open 3-pointer to move his squad to 16-0. He’s excelling in the fast pace East Lake offense after transferring in from Countryside. Shane is one of the most underrated guards who plays with endless energy on both ends of the floor.

Kevin “Boopie” Miller & Prince Mosengo Prince Mosengo 6'9" | PF Keystone Athletic Academy | 2022 State PA │Victory Rock
The game of the weekend was between Victory Rock and Andrew Jackson as the latter won 63-60 late in a chippy and physical matchup. 2021 5-10 guard Kevin “Boopie” Miller might be the hardest working point guards in the state. With 19 points, he showed off his ability to run the show and finish in a variety of crafty ways. 2022 guard/forward Prince Mosengo Prince Mosengo 6'9" | PF Keystone Athletic Academy | 2022 State PA is a lengthy prospect at 6-9 and he got better as the game moved on with his aggressiveness in route to 15 points.
