Thursday's final scores were:</p> <p><strong>SILVER BRACKET QUARTERFINALS</strong></p> <p>Miami Springs 52, Grandview Prep 29</p> <p>Orangewood Christian 66, Leman Manhattan (N.Y.) 57</p> <p>St. John Paul 59, Coral Reef 47</p> <p>Loyola (N.Y.) 64, Lake Mary Prep 53</p> <p><strong>GOLD BRACKET QUARTERFINALS</strong></p> <p>Oxbridge 76, Oviedo 72</p> <p>Wellington 59, St. Andrew's 58</p> <p>North Broward Prep 45, Seffner Christian 42</p> <p>Pine Crest 59, Jensen Beach 49</p> <p>Here are the top performers at The Rock Holiday Classic:</p> <h2>AJ Cajuste, Oxbridge Academy</h2> <p>The Class 5A ThunderWolves (9-0) senior guard scored 31 points in a victory over 9A Oviedo. Oviedo came into the game with just one loss -- a road defeat at the buzzer to Seminole. Cajuste has an excellent handle, is a good driver and can defend bigger players. He is drawing some college attention -- the latest from Old Dominion.</p> <h2>Rodrigo Vani, Loyola (N.Y.)</h2> <p>The 6-foot-8 senior scored 30 of Loyola's 64 points in a win over Lake Mary Prep. Vani is a good athlete, who rebounds, communicates and hits his free throws. "I moved here two years ago from Uruguay, so I haven't had much exposure," Vani said. "It's a new team. We have nine new players."</p> <h2>Chris Walker, Wellington</h2> <p>The 6-4 Walker, who wears No. 40, is giving coach <strong>Matt Colin</strong>'s squad a huge boost as a sophomore. He nailed five 3-pointers on the way to a 20-point performance in a one-point victory over St. Andrew's. Needs to get stronger but shows great promise.</p> <h2>Troy Joseph &amp; Dante Wilcox, Oxbridge</h2> <p>Joseph and Wilcox scored 18 and 15 points, respectively, to go along with Cajuste's 31 in the win over Oviedo. Joseph, who hopes to reclassify to a junior after missing his sophomore year with an injury, is 6-3 and explosive. He showed he could drive with authority while also hitting the outside shot. Wilcox, a 6-6 FIU recruit, is a strong finisher and tough on the boards.</p> <h2>Amen &amp; Ausar Thompson, Pine Crest</h2> <p>The Thompson brothers -- both 6-4 freshmen -- combined for 35 of Pine Crest's 59 points in the W over Jensen Beach. Amen Thompson led the way with 19, while Ausar Thompson added 16. Pine Crest ran its record to 7-3 while handing Jensen Beach just its third loss of the season.</p> <h2>Andrew Minott, St. Andrew's</h2> <p>The sophomore made nine field goals and finished with 18 points in the Scots' loss to Wellington. Minott needs to get stonger but gives the Scots good production along with 2020 <strong>Yussif Basa-Ama</strong> and 2019 <strong>Alejandro Ralat</strong>. </p> <h2>Drew Thelwell, Orangewood Christian</h2> <p>The 6-2 junior poured in 29 points in the victory over Leman Manhattan (N.Y.). Thelwell connected on three 3-pointers. North Florida, Stetson, Rollins and Troy have all shown interest. Thelwell was also in the top seven scorers at the TCB Invitational.</p> <h2>TJ Lawlor, St. John Paul</h2> <p>The 6-2 senior started hot with 22 first-half points and finished with 34. Lawlor connected on six 3-pointers for St. John Paul (4-2). <strong>Levertis Williams</strong>, a freshman, led Coral Reef with 12 points.</p> <h2>Kevin Benitez, Miami Springs</h2> <p>The 6-foot senior banged home three 3-pointers on the way to 20 points in the win over Grandview Prep. 2020 <strong>Jalin Thomason</strong> led Grandview Prep in the loss with 8 points.</p> <h2>Aidan Knight, Oviedo</h2> <p>The 5-11 senior tossed in 19 points in the loss to Oxbridge. 6-1 junior <strong>Mamush Galloway</strong> added 16 points. 6-5 senior <strong>Morgan Mitchell</strong> played quarterback in football for Oviedo. He said he had de-committed from Buffalo and is taking a look at his options.</p> <h2>Michael Gavin, Lake Mary Prep</h2> <p>The 6-foot senior scored 18 first-half points on the way to 24 in the loss to Loyola (N.Y.).</p> <p><em>If you have high school basketball news, you can reach Pat Lammer via e-mail at PatALammer@Gmail.com or via text at 954-661-9671.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
