SANTA ANA, Ca—The Mater Dei Monarchs hobbled into their game with San Diego powerhouse Cathedral Catholic and held on for a dicey 63-60 victory. The Monarchs were down three starters in stud big man Wilhelm Breidenbach Wilhelm Breidenbach 6'8" | PF Mater Dei | 2021 State #91 Nation CA-S , junior guard Gabriel Quiette Gabriel Quiette 6'3" | SF Mater Dei | 2022 State CA-S , and junior guard Mason Ressler Mason Ressler 5'6" | PG Mater Dei | 2022 State CA-S , but received an outstanding performance from USC signee Harrison Hornery Harrison Hornery 6'9" | PF Mater Dei | 2021 State #168 Nation CA-S as he dropped in 24-points for the victors.
Brady Karich (Mater Dei) 0
2024, PG, 6-foot-1, 160 pounds
Joel’s Take: Brady is the son of former Mater Dei standout—from 1990—Andy Karich. While Andy was a forward, Brady is the Monarch’s future point guard. He advances the ball very well, has his head up at all times, and makes sound decisions. Despite being a freshman, he managed the game well, took care of the ball, and found open teammates for easy scores.
Alex Wade Alex Wade 5'10" | PG Cathedral Catholic | 2021 State CA-S (Cathedral Catholic)
2021, PG, 6-foot, 165 pounds
Joel’s Take: Wade put together an outstanding performance in the 2nd half to spark an incredible comeback—which eventually came down to the last possession. He was the catalyst on the defensive end with his active hands and instincts. He managed the game well, hit some timely 3s, and set up his teammates for easy buckets—including a nifty post entry to Dillon Wilhite Dillon Wilhite 6'8" | C Cathedral Catholic | 2021 State CA-S .
Dominic Muncey (Cathedral Catholic)
2021, SG, 6-foot-1, 175 pounds
Joel’s Take: Muncey was the ultimate glue-type in this one as he played some solid defense, grabbed some rebounds, and hit two clutch 3s during the Dons 2nd half comeback. He
Kaden Minter (Mater Dei)
2022, WF, 6-foot-6, 175 pounds,
Joel’s Take: One of the better up-and-coming shooters in Southern California is Minter. The rangy wing-type scored 14-points—including three deep 3-pointers. He sets up his shot well, squares up nicely, and he has a quick release. His mid-range game is still developing, but he did show a nice up-fake to get around his defender for a floater attempt.
