REDONDO BEACH, Ca. – The sixth annual Ryse-Up Fall Classic boys’ basketball event will be played Saturday and Sunday at Redondo Union High – the alma mater of the late basketball standout whose memory it’s held in honor of.

Ryse Williams, a four-year varsity player and twice all-CIF selection at Redondo, died from the effects of a rare form of cancer – renal medullary carcinoma (which affects the kidneys) – on June 22, 2017, just a day before he was scheduled to take part in Redondo’s graduation ceremony.

Receipts from the two-day event go in support of the “Ryse-Up Foundation”.

Twenty-two games are scheduled to be played over the two days in the school’s two gymnasiums.

Among the teams joining the host Seahawks for the games 2022 CIF Southern Section Open Division participants Harvard-Westlake and Bishop Montgomery, as well as the likes of Long Beach Poly, St. Bernard and Santa Margarita.
