NEWPORT BEACH – The three-day Corona del Mar High Summer Varsity Boys Basketball Shootout tips off Friday afternoon.
Sixty-four games are set to be played in CDM’s two gyms and at the near-by Newport Coast Community Center (where seven games will be played on Saturday, beginning at 10:30 a.m.).
Among the programs scheduled to participate are Trinity League squads from Mater Dei, Santa Margarita, Orange Lutheran and Servite, as well as “non-Orange County” programs from Riverside Poly and Phoenix St. Mary’s.
Opening games on Friday (at 2 o’clock) have Capistrano Valley taking on Costa Mesa in the “big” gym and the host Sea Kings meeting Phoenix St. Mary’s in the “small” gym.
Santa Margarita returns two players, seniors-to-be Jake Kyman and Max Agbonkpolo, that participated in last week’s NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville, VA.
Kyman committed to UCLA in the spring (he’s scheduled to sign a National Letter of Intent in November) while Agbonkpolo is being recruited by the likes of USC, Arizona, Arizona State and Washington.
Riverside Poly has one of the better guards from the Class of 2020 in Lamont Butler (pictured).
Riverside Poly will take on Santa Margarita (4:10 p.m.) and Mater Dei (6:30) Sunday in CDM’s larger facility.
