LOS ANGELES – Eleven games involving some of the top high school basketball programs in Southern California will be played Saturday and Sunday at Fairfax High in the third Ryse-Up Fall Classic.
The games serve to honor the memory of the late Redondo Union High basketball standout, Ryse Williams, and to raise funds for the Ryse Williams Charitable Foundation.
Williams, who had planned attend and play basketball for Loyola Marymount University, died in late spring of 2017 – just a day before Redondo’s graduation ceremony – of Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC), a rare form of cancer.
Daily admission is $10.
Fairfax is now coached by Reggie Morris, Jr., who was Williams’ coach for his first three years at Redondo and then recruited him for LMU when his was on that coaching staff.
The Ryse-Up schedule:
Saturday
12:10 p.m., Long Beach Poly vs. Beverly Hills; 1:10, Mayfair vs. St. Anthony; 2:20, Fairfax vs. Chaminade; 3:30, Lynwood vs. Bishop Montgomery; 4:45, Washington Prep vs. Redondo.
