The No.’s 3- and 18-ranked teams in the BurlisonOnBasketball Top 25 will play in the 8 o’clock finale in the six-game Westchester High Challenge Saturday on the Comets’ campus.

   The Comets improved to 13-1 and the No. 18 Long Beach Poly Jackrabbits to 12-3, respectively, with wins at the Take Flight Challenge at Redondo High Friday night.

   Westchester (led by Jordan Brinson, all-L.A. City as a junior) and Poly have a couple of the very best backcourts in the west.

   Brinson (pictured) and the Jackrabbits’ Justin Rene were the Most Valuable Players in tournaments in South Carolina and Arkansas last week.

   The Westchester event begins at 12:30 p.m.

   Other “one-day events” are being hosted by Firebaugh High in Lynwood (Real Run Winter Classic) and by Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth (Super Showcase).

   The former begins at 9 a.m. and wraps with the 9 p.m. clash between No. 22 Washington Prep and San Gabriel Academy.

  The latter starts at 2:30 and concludes with an 8:30 game pitting top-ranked Sierra Canyon and Rancho Solano Prep of Arizona.

Meet Frank

Frank Burlison

Frank Burlison is a well-regarded basketball writer who was inducted into the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Hall of Fame in 2005. His opinions on the potential of high school and college players are widely respected and sought by college coaches and NBA scouts, personnel directors and general managers from coast to coast. Oh, yes – he can offer plenty of thoughts on movies, television and pop music. Yes, he can rank those, too. Hint: He’s a big The Godfather, Larry Sanders, The Wire and The Beatles loyalist.

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!

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.
