CORONA, CA – The Compton Magic program hit .500 during its championship appearances in Corona’s Players’ Edge during the Championship Series/California Sunday afternoon.

Seniors Victor Robbins (Compton) and Daviyon Draper (L.A. Locke), and junior Payton Banks (Orange Lutheran) helped propel the Compton Magic Elite to a 66-47 over Branch West Elite in the 17-under title game.

A couple of hours later 6-foot-2 Luis Medearis and several of his Downey Warren sophomore teammates led the Downey Ballhogs to a 76-69 win over the Compton Magic 16-under championship clash.

The Compton Magic squad is actually made up of players 15 or younger (all current ninth-graders) but the team “played up” in the event.

Besides the aforementioned players, other Sunday standouts included 6-7 sophomore Daniel Hamilton (Bellflower St. John Bosco/performing for Belmont Shore in the 17-under division) and another 10^th grader, 6-3 Namon Wright (L.A. Pacific Hills/playing for Branch West)

I’ve known Frank for at least 35 years and have the utmost respect for his writing as well as his understanding of, and insight into, basketball. His ability to evaluate basketball prospects is almost impeccable. Most coaches and scouts watch a player and can tell you how good he is NOW. What separates Frank from the others is that he can watch the same player and tell you how good he can be two or three years down the line.

Frank Burlison is one of the most knowledgeable basketball people in the business! His passion for the game puts him at the top of the list. There are very few people whose evaluation skills I trust like I do Frank’s!
