Compton Tip-Off Classic
Set For Next Month--(Oct. 13, 1998)

Etop Udo-Ema and Compton High Coach Rod Palmer are once again hosting the 2nd Annual Compton Reebok Tip-Off Classic. Actually we're not quite sure that Reebok is a sponsor but given how well the event turned out last year for them, they'd be nuts not to want to be involved. Last year's Reebok Tip-Off Classic involved some of the area's best teams, and this year the event has been expanded from one day to at least two nights and possibly three. It will be held on November 30, December 1 and tentatively, December 2. All three nights are slated to take place at Compton College.

Several teams are confirmed, and others are still considering their availability. Those we know who have confirmed are:

Compton High (Tito Maddox, Terry Hosendove, Ellis Myles)
Compton Dominguez (Tyson Chandler, Keith Brooks, Keith Kincaide, Keilon Fortune)
Santa Monica Crossroads (Isaiah Fox, Misha Taylor, Felipe Williams, Chad Gordon)
Lynwood High (Gary Lenoir, Keyon Floyd)
Long Beach Poly (Wesley Stokes, Keyon Cooley, Shea Anderson)
Long Beach Jordan (Craig Calloway, Deryon Dale, Gene Wolf, Darren Peterson
Torrance Bishop Montgomery (Errick & Derrick Craven)
Gardena Serra (Aerick Sanders, Earl Lewis)
Chino Hills Ayala (Jack May, Daniel Sherman, Marcel Burke).

Other possible participants who are considering but have not yet committed are Riverside J.W. North, Upland High and possibly Pomona.

The event will also feature a few of the girls' games, and for now, Long Beach Jordan's girls' varsity is set to play the Dominguez girls team.

This will be a great event, and will be the first opportunity this season to see these teams in action. If you'd like further details contact Etop at 562-901-8592 or coach Palmer at 310-609-9871.

See you there.
