SoCal Prep & High School Tournament News

Ocean View Tournament of Champions--(December 2, 1997)

More tournament news. The Tournament of Champions, at Ocean View High School will be held December 8-13, 1997.

The teams featured include 3 of the top 10 ranked teams in Orange County:

Los Alamitos,
Mater Dei
Ocean View.

Also playing are

Servite
Compton
A.B. Miller

The unranked Orange County team in the Tournament is Servite, which is vastly improved. The other teams are all from outside of Orange County, and include Compton (DeAndre Moore, Reggie Howard, Tito Maddox, Milton Riley, David Hamilton) which beat Bishop Montgomery tonight in the Reebok Compton Classic by 30 points, 76 to 46, and A.B. Miller of Fontana (Travis Reed's alma Mater). Compton is currently ranked fifth in the State by Student Sports, and this tournament should be a great matchup, and a chance for the Orange County Schools to see how they will match up with some of the better competition in SoCal. Sort of a reality check for schools like Mater Dei, which according to Gary McKnight is not in a "down year", because "A 'down year' is when you win five or 10 games. I think we're capable of winning 15 to 20 games, and for most schools that would be a fine year," McKnight told the O.C. Register.
