LOS ANGELES – The second annual Take Flight Challenge, presented by Redondo Union High and hosted by The Jordan Hangar, is set to tip off its 10-game, two-day schedule Friday evening at 5:30.
Eight of the games involve 16 of Southern California’s better high school squad, beginning with the 5:30 Friday contest between Anaheim Canyon and Los Angeles Brentwood and wrapping with the 7:30 Saturday night game between the Redondo Sea Hawks and Torrance Bishop Montgomery Knights.
Two games pitting “prep school” teams will be played over the two days as well, too, with Ontario (CAN) Orangeville Prep facing L.A. Future Prep at 9 o’clock Friday night and the team from Canada facing San Diego’s Balboa Prep Saturday night at 9.
The second of those games is expected two of the top big men in all of high school-aged hoops, 7-foot junior Thon Maker (Orangeville Prep) and 6-10 DeAndre Ayton (Balboa Prep).

You need to be clear about your unique selling point (USP)
resulting in your competitive edge. With a roll up your sleeve attitude
