2017 Nor Cal Spring Showcase

The 6th annual Nor Cal Spring Showcase will be held Friday to Sunday April 28 to 30 at Jamtown in Oakland. It will be an NCAA live period event (allowing Division I schools to attend). It is open to teams from high school and AAU programs and individual players in all high school grades (including seniors). 60+ teams will be entered in Northern California's top live event of the spring.

The event is designed to provide all players an opportunity to demonstrate their talents/skills in highly competitive games for the college coaches, scouts, and media expected to attend. A report on the event will be done by the Hoop Review scouting service that will be sent to college coaches and various internet sites.

Cost is $550.00 per team for direct payment. Multiple (3 or more) team discounts are available. Every team will play four games (two each day on two of the three days). For more information contact the tournament director, Gerry Freitas at 408-998-1327 or email: gerryfreitas@hotmail.com. To register go to www.hoopreview.net.

Here's Jack Nelson's discussion of the CIF-SS Open Division quarterfinal results and what to expect in the semifinals:

Everything went according to Hoyle as the 4 top seeds in the CIF-SS Open Div quarterfinal games all won their games to advance to the Semi-Finals at the Galen Center on the USC Campus on Friday night.

#1 seeded Sierra Canyon will play the opening 7 PM game vs. #4 seeded Bishop Montgomery and in the nitecap it will be #2 seeded and defending CIF SS Open Div champion Chino Hills taking on #3 seeded Mater Dei.

Mater Dei’s only loss was to Chino Hills in the championship of the pre Christmas Jerry Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas. Since that time, Mater Dei picked up 7-2 Bol Bol, son of the late former great NBA star Manute Bol, who was declared eligible for the second semester.

As I mentioned earlier when the brackets for this open Div came out 9 days ago that if these top 4 seeds survived the first two rounds without an upset that this is most likely the strongest semifinals ever held in a non invitational high school tournament.

These 4 schools are all ranked in the top 10 in the nation by MaxPreps.com. Sierra Canyon is #2, Chino Hills #3, Mater Dei #5 and Bishop Montgomery #9. This is why the CIF decided to move both semifinal games to the same venue so fans could get to watch both games.

These teams feature some of the greatest stars in the game beginning with Sierra Canyon’s 6-9 Jr. Marvin Bagley III and 6-8 Sr. Cody Riley, a UCLA commit. Bagley III is the #1 player in the class of 2018.

Chino Hills still has 2 Ball brothers and they have been putting up some big numbers on the board. 6-5 Sr. LiAngelo Ball has dropped as many as 76 points in a game while his younger brother LaMelo Ball dropped 92 last week on Los Osos.

Gelo has already signed with UCLA and Melo has been offered there also. Huskie forward Eli Scott is a good one and signed with Loyola Marymount, and 6-9 Soph Onyeka Okongwu may be the greatest of all.

In tonight's game against Long Beach Poly when Melo was held scoreless in the first half, Okongwu took over the load in the opening half and ended up being the leading scorer for the Huskies as he had 29 points, including 3 treys and 16 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Melo got his shooting eye back in the 2nd half when he scored 26 points, 21 of those in the fourth quarter. When he gets hot, he really gets hot and can fire them up from all parts of the court.

Mater Dei now has the big giant Bol Bol on its roster and he not only is big, he is very agile and has great instincts for blocking and altering shots. This game should be a crowd pleaser from start to finish.

I am sure there will be a lot of coverage about this game on TV and in the newspapers but these teams are very capable of living up to their "Hype."

What should be mentioned is that this tourney will not end any team’s hope of winning the state championship because all four finalists will be entered in the Southern Calif regionals, which will be an 8 team tourney to see who comes out of it as champion of the south and go up to Sacramento and play the Northern Calif champs for the overall state open Div title.

These 4 teams will be joined by 2 teams from the LA City Section, one team from the San Diego Section, and one from Bakersfield/Fresno.

The opener and the semifinals will be played at the host schools and the Southern Regional Open Div final will be played at the Pyramid in Long Beach on March 18th at 8pm.

David Cassaw 18 years as head boys basketball coach at LaCosta Canyon: "It was a key win for our squad as we battled hard against a well coached San Marcos team." "After we were trailing our 3 pointers were the key of the game and I was pleased Logan Wazcy as he has helped us all season and continued to shoot treys and he's been a force for us has worked hard." My 400th win vs. an Arizona high school squad and told everyone that it wasn't a big of a deal for me as I focus on my team all the time but my parents and family were there I think about the journey for the 18 years. I feel good being 13-4 right now but we turn the page for our team and take the next step for the CIF Section Playoffs.

The Mavericks were also contributed were Christian Gallagher 9 points, Andrew Hogan 6 points, 7 each by Alec Peneschi and Graham Cook, 6 by Paul Carr.

The nation's top player running back Najee Harris of Antioch was also at that game is committed to Alabama but the buzz in the Bay Area has Michigan closing fast. He is enrolling early so one of the two powers will get the top ranked player in America in the coming days.
