The first game of the day featured a top rated Florida junior in Zaronn Cann. Cann did not disappoint in this game as he maintained his composure in a 21 point, 6 rebound performance. He did what needed to be done as he used a variety of moves to find his way to go 5 of 6 from the free throw line. He had a nice overall game. Brandon guard Korri Ennis helped the winning effort with a 13 point effort. Wilcox Central's Michael Williams contributed a 18 point, 9 rebound game. Williams has signed with Texas for his college career.

A lot has been written about the joint effort program established by IMG Academies and the Pendleton School. We'll have to concentrate on underclassmen as Pendleton has youth galore on this team. Pendleton's sophomore point guard Dwain Williams was impressive as he distributed the ball well and provided some timely 3's as Naples kept the game close for 2 and a half quarters. Absent from the starting lineup was highly touted 8th grade sensation Michael Beasley. Beasley looked almost bored throughout the game as he offered up a quality 15 point, 17 rebound game. Naples head coach Matt Chlebek was on the sidelines for this game. He seemed to provide a spark as Naples went in at halftime down only a single point. Naples players Mark Wise (19 points) and Renel Saintil (15 points) showed some poise in trying to keep this game from being a total blowout in the 4th quarter.Pendleton sophomore Jake Worley looked good as he went 4 for 5 from the 3-point line and finished with 22 points.

Two words for this Seagoville loss, Lamarcus Aldridge. Aldridge suffered a sprain in Monday's loss to Ft. Myers and did not play in this one. I will say that Jacoie Shivers stepped well in his absence with an 18 point game. However, in the end, it was too much Walter Sharpe. Sharpe finished with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Seagoville's Donald Sloan kept the game close with his 20 points. Rod Smitherman contributed 20 points as well in Parker's win.

Challenge Round Game 4

This was by far the ugliest game of the day. I thought I would be saying this about Naples. But, Ft. Myers looked absolutely terrible. Ft. Myer's center Robinson Louisme had, what Tulane should hope not to happen, a terrible game as he finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds. The entire Ft. Myers offense looked out of place and bewildered. Not to take away from a very good Jacksonville-Raines team which came to play! Junior guards Derwin Kitchens (31 points, 11 rebounds) and Juwann James (9 points, 8 rebounds) showed that this team is for real. Raines never looked back in this blowout of Ft. Myers, a highly ranked 5A team.

This was a game of Williams's as North Carolina bound 6'9" Marvin Williams faced up against No. 1 6'2" junior Louis Williams with North Carolina coach Roy Williams in attendance. Bremerton's Williams tried to run the point in the first quarter of this game,. It didn't work well as the South Gwinnett back court of Williams (22 points, 8 rebounds) and Mike Mercer (26 points, 10 rebounds) got out to a 22-6 lead and never looked back. Several alley oops for Gwinnett's Williams throughout the game and a dunk over the 6'9" Williams were some of the highlights of this matchup. All I can say is WOW! Louis Williams showed an impressive variety of offense as he got to the rim with such ease in this game. His defense of the larger Bremerton Williams in the 4th qaurter was equally impressive. Marvin posted up on Louis several times, one of those times taking down the younger Williams. Louis sat out for several minutes before returning to the game.
