ST. GEORGE, UTAH – Two members apiece from the Classes of 2021 and ’22 shared the figurative “hardware” following the conclusion of the two-day, Full-Court Press All-West Camp Sunday afternoon in the Net’s on Fire facility.

Forwards Mouhamed Bbaye (C/O 2021) and Jeremiah Nyarko (C/O 2022) scored 14 points apiece to lead the white jerseys over their dark counterparts, 94-83, in the camp finale, the Top 30 All-Star Game, and earned co-Most Outstanding Player honors for the contest.

Bagging overall camp honors (three camp “league” games plus the all-star contest) were guards Collin Chandler (who demonstrated oh-so-clearly that he’s one of the top juniors, not just in the west but the entire country) and a future USC player, Reese Dixon-Waters.

ST. GEORGE, Utah – Reese Dixon-Waters, a 6-foot-5 senior at St. Bernard High (Playa del Rey, CA) who committed to USC nearly six months ago, was among the first-day standouts Saturday during the Full-Court Press All-West Camp.

Approximately 240 players – mostly from western states but including players from throughout the country – were on hand for the event, which wraps up with 12 Sunday morning “camp games” followed by three all-star games in the afternoon.

All games will be live-streamed and archived on BallerTV.

GILBERT, Az. – The Washington Supreme players and coached boarded their Sunday evening Phoenix-to-Seattle flight with four End of Summer Showcase victories tucked securely in the overhead storage.

Coach Carl Howell’s club, after rolling past Vegas Elite (82-60), had to rally from a 19-point deficit at intermission and then needed a “sudden-victory” overtime to edge Gamepoint of San Diego, 57-55.

Reserve guard Jerry Hayes Jr. (South Hill, WA, Emerald Ridge) scored a layup for the win in an overtime period in which the first team to score picked up the victory at the Inspire Courts facility in this Phoenix suburb.

GILBERT, Az. – The second and final day of the End of Summer Showcase looks to be highlighted by an 11:30 Sunday morning clash between what would have been two of the finest west coast-based 17s club basketball teams in “normal” (non-COVID 19) circumstances.

Vegas Elite (a member of the Nike-fronted EYBL program) and Washington Supreme (part of Under Armor’s grassroots program) hook up on court 7 in the Inspires Courts facility in this Phoenix suburb.

The game will be live-streamed by BallerTV, as will the other 35 games played that get underway at 9:30 PT.

HAYWARD, Ca. – Cole Anderson’s clinching layup in the closing seconds secured the Class of 2021’s 117-113 victory over its 2022 counterpart Sunday evening at the Slam Academy during the NorCal Clash.

Anderson’s left-handed layup was set up by a steal and pass from 6-foot-9 DeMarshay Johnson (Richmond Salesian).

The 6-3 Anderson (Clovis West), who committed to UC Santa Barbara in the spring, continued to show why he may be as good a jump shooter as there is – not only in California but pretty much anywhere else, too, on the high school level.
