The Prep2Prep California All Star Classic

Up north here, there aren't many opportunities to see the creme of the crop talent playing in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas. However, the Prep2Prep California All Star Classic fixes this problem.

For example, if you want to catch 6-foot-10 De Andre Ayton, ranked by many as the #1 player nationally in the 2017 class, then keep August 30 open. Is there anyone on the Nor Cal squad who can slow him down?



Are you familiar with 6-foot-6 Lonzo Ball, a 2016 UCLA commit owning the #2 position in the national 2016 class? If not, he'll also be holding court on August 30. Which Nor Cal player or players will get the unenviable task of matching up with him?



Yes, the first annual Prep2Prep California All Star Classic will take place Sunday August 30 at Las Positas College in Livermore. This two-game event will feature a North versus South format with elite players in the class of 2016 playing at 3:30 p.m. and top players in the class of 2017 taking to the court at 1:30 p.m.

This is a truly special day for all basketball fans, unique because there is no other set of matchups pitting the best prospects in northern California against their southern counterparts.

Go here to purchase tickets for the games.

A pre-event banquet scheduled for Saturday night (the 29th) is also open to the public. It is being held at the Impact Hub located at 2323 Broadway in downtown Oakland and tickets for attending that can also be purchased here.
