NEWARK, Ca. – The seven-game, 10th annual Nor Cal Tip-Off Classic tips off at 11 o’clock Saturday morning at the Newark Memorial High gymnasium.
Opening play will be the Vallejo St. Patrick’s vs. Danville Monte Vista clash, with the spotlighted finale between SoCal and NorCal respective powers Torrance Bishop Montgomery and Oakland Bishop O’Dowd at 8:30 p.m.
Bishop Montgomery, which lost to Chino Hills in the State Southern Regional Open final last March, returns five starters from that squad.
But the Knights will be without a key player, 6-foot-3 junior David Singleton, due to a foot injury suffered in September that he is still recovering from.
Bishop Montgomery seniors Ethan Thompson and Jordan Schakel signed with Oregon State and San Diego State, respectively, earlier this month.
The Dragons have a very good pair of junior guards in Elijah Hardy and Naseem Gaskin.
Saturday’s complete schedule:
11 a.m., Vallejo St. Patrick’s vs. Danville Monte Vista; 12:30 p.m., Dublin vs. Walnut Creek Las Lomas; 2:15, Berkeley vs. Sacramento Christian Brothers; 3:45, Hayward Moreau Catholic vs. Reedley Immanuel; 5:30, Sacramento Capital Christian vs. Mission Hills Alemany; 7, Newark Memorial vs. Roseville Woodcreek; 8:30, Oakland Bishop O’Dowd vs. Torrance Bishop Montgomery.
