Cincinnati Woodward Vs Beechcroft: Woodward is led by Paul McMillan IV Paul McMillan IV 6'2" | PG Woodward | 2022 State #229 Nation OH and a group of hungry and aggressive pieces that made them one of the most impressive teams I saw all summer. Beechcroft is led by Amani Lyles Amani Lyles 6'7" | C Beechcroft | 2022 State OH and they have a lot of senior pieces this season. Should be an exciting first game of the Saturday slate.
Kettering Alter Vs Homestead (IN): Alter has five college level players that all shoot it well from the outside but their only real size is Jacob Conner Jacob Conner 6'7" | PF Alter | 2022 State OH . It’ll be interesting to see who they throw at four-star Fletcher Loyer Fletcher Loyer 6'4" | SG Homestead | 2022 State #108 Nation IN .
Elder Vs Carmel (IN): Elder has the experience and chemistry to be one of the top teams in the Cincy area this season. Seniors Sean Keller Sean Keller 5'11" | PG Elder | 2022 State OH and Andrew Harp Andrew Harp 6'5" | SF Elder | 2022 State OH can both shoot it at a high level and Carson Browne Carson Browne 6'8" | C Elder | 2023 State OH is a breakout candidate. For Carmel, they have Peter Suder Peter Suder 6'5" | SG Carmel | 2022 State #227 Nation IN and Charlie Williams Charlie Williams 6'10" | PF Carmel | 2022 State #220 Nation IN who are both Division I level prospects. It’ll be a tall task for Elder to come out with a victory in this one.
St Ignatius Vs Indy Cathedral (IN): Iggy has a loaded 2024 class but seniors Jonathan Effertz Jonathan Effertz 6'0" | PG St. Ignatius | 2022 State OH and CJ Yarian CJ Yarian 6'10" | C St. Ignatius | 2022 State OH aren’t to be forgotten about. Cathedral has a loaded roster headlined by PG Tayshawn Comer Tayshawn Comer 6'0" | PG Cathedral | 2022 State #226 Nation IN and C Xavier Booker Xavier Booker 6'11" | PF Cathedral | 2023 State #4 Nation IN . This is potentially the most star-studded game all weekend in the state of Ohio.
Hilliard Bradley @ Mason: The host Comets get their second game in as many nights when they host Hilliard Bradley. Bradley got a signature victory in 2019 at this event, we’ll see if they can do it again. Cade Norris Cade Norris 6'3" | PG Hilliard Bradley | 2024 State OH and Jeb Bischoff Jeb Bischoff 6'0" | SG Hilliard Bradley | 2024 State OH are both 2024 prospects to watch for Bradley.
