A couple of elite schools to choose from.

In a battle for "elite" private school boasting, Montverde Academy (17-1) defeated the Pendleton School by a score of 71-48. Junior post player Arminus Urbutis missed a double-double by one rebound as he had 21 points and 9 rebounds. Junior guard Vytautas Valiulis didn't miss a double-double as he had 14 points and 14 assists. Nationally ranked 8th grade sensation Michael Beasley led the Pendleton School with 15 points. Montverde Academy defeated the Pendleton School earlier in the year as well. A third game is scheduled in the coming weeks.

A lot was written about the upstart program at the Pendleton School in Bradenton on the IMG Academies campus last year. Current hoop stars like Taurean Green, Danny Morrissey, and Ramel Bradley were flocking to the school to hone their basketball skills and a chance at big time college basketball. Well 2 of the those athletes have signed with big time SEC programs. Green with the University of Florida and Bradley with the University of Kentucky. The future looks bright for re-classified 8th grade sensation Michael Beasley as big time hoops are definitely in his future. However, the varsity team itself has stumbled this year. Taurean Green made it 4 schools in 4 years as he moved back to the east coast to finish his high school career at Cardinal Gibbons. Bradley and Morrissey are playing with the "prep" (i.e. "13th grade") team this year weeding out what should have been considered an elite team.

Enter a small school located near Clermont that has been around since 1912 and a big time coach, Kevin Sutton. Sutton has previously coached at national powerhouse program Bishop McNamara in Forestville, Maryland. Headmaster Kasey Kesselring offered Sutton the opportunity as Director of College Counseling in addition to the position as head coach of the boy's basketball team. An opportunity that Sutton felt he could not pass up. A mild Central Florida climate and the opportunity to work with a diverse student population consisting of 39 different countries. Well, Sutton has a squad of juniors that can play basketball. Arminus Urbutis, Vytautas Valiulis, and Giedriuis Knysas are a few of the standouts on the team that boasts possibly a minimum of 6 Division I prospects. As mentioned, the core of the team is junior strong. Hopefully, the word has gotten out about this new program and Sutton will have a long line of athletes coming to the school looking for a quality education and an opportunity to work with a great coach for next year.
