9th Annual Prep2PrepTip Off Classic

The 9th Annual Prep2PrepTip Off Classic will be taking place on Saturday, November 28 at Newark Memorial High School.

14 teams from throughout northern and southern California will take to the court and the quality of talent is higher than ever before.

Here's the rundown:

Game One, 11:00 a.m. St. Mary's (Albany) vs. Manteca High

Translation: Sharpshooting senior guard Kevin Warren versus the imposing frontcourt of seniors 6-foot-8 Kenny Wooten, 6-foot-10 Anand Hundal and 6-foot-7 junior Tydus Verhoeven.

Game Two, 12:30 p.m. Bishop O'Dowd vs. Dublin High

Translation: Sophomore guards Elijah Hardy, Naseem Gaskins plus 6-foot-8 freshman Raymond Hawkins versus backcourt junior Tim Falls. BOD is the returning Open Division state champion.

Game Three, 2:15 p.m. Immanuel (Reedley) vs. Weston Ranch (Stockton)

Translation: Senior guard Colin Slater, a Tulane commit, and 6-foot-6 junior Darrin Person Jr., named area Co-MVPs by the Fresno Bee, versus backcourters Jaelen Ragsdale and Fred Lavender, recent commits to Cal State Stanislaus.

Game Four, 3:45 p.m. Sheldon High vs. Army/Navy High (Carlsbad)

Translation: Guard Isaiah Brooks and 6-foot-7 Matt Manning versus 6-foot-8 junior Richard Polanco and 6-foot-7 Aziz Seck. The latter averaged a double-double in scoring and rebounding last season while the former just missed matching that with 9.3 rebounds a contest.

Game Five, 5:30 p.m. Modesto Christian vs. Folsom High

Translation: MC has 6-foot-9 Robinson Idehen, 6-foot-3 Christian Ellis, 6-foot-4 Josthin Dawkins and frosh point Terrence Moorehead Jr. versus 6-foot Jordan Ford, who is a UC Santa Barbara commit (thank you for the corrections - make it St. Mary's as his college destination) and 6-foot Tre Finch.

Game Six, 7:00 p.m. Newark Memorial vs. Woodcreek High

Translation: 6-foot-10 senior Kevin Kahriman versus 6-foot-9 sophomore wunderkind Jordan Brown who put up a double-double in his initial prep season and is already a national recruit.

Game Seven, 8:30 p.m. Moreau Catholic vs. Sierra Canyon

Translation: Cal commit 6-foot-6 Oscar Frayer, 6-foot-1 San Jose State University commit Terrell Brown,  6-foot-3 Brandon Lawrence and 6-foot-2  Damari Milstead (three seniors and one junior, the latter) versus 6-foot-8 junior  Cody Riley, 6-foot-8 junior Ira Lee, 6-foot junior Remy Martin and 5-foot-9 senior Devearl Ramsey. The latter garnered Player of the Game honors at the recent Prep2Prep Classic. Sierra Canyon is also the returning Division V state champion.
