FEATS OF THE WEEK: The best of the Class of 2004 went head-to-head during No. 10 Orlando, Fla., Edgewater's 75-72 victory over regionally ranked Brooklyn, N.Y., Lincoln in the Bright Futures Shootout at the University of Central Florida. The game matched Edgewater's junior guard Darius Washington, who scored 21, and the highest-rated player in the class, Sebastian Telfair, of Lincoln, who scored 28 and just missed a game-tying 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds left to play. The win gave Edgewater a split versus New York City teams for the week after losing to Briarwood, Archbishop Molloy, 81-70, at the Basketball Hall of Fame High School Invitational in Springfield, Mass. . . . Covington, Ga., Newton County coach Ronald Bradley earned coaching victory No. 900 in a 54-32 win over Newnan, Heritage. Bradley also has 353 victories as a girls coach, giving him 1,253 combined wins -- one shy of a state record . . . The road show that has become superstar LeBron James and the top-ranked Akron, Ohio, St. Vincent-St. Mary basketball team made a stop at the Greensboro, N.C., Coliseum on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, where 16,220 fans watched James score 32 points and the Irish rout regionally ranked Winston-Salem, Reynolds, 86-56. SV-SM will play teams from at least seven different states this season and has appeared on national television twice.
