After a roller coaster pre-regional playoffs, (weather) everything is back in order. Prep Hoops will be providing full coverage at the 3A/4A state tournament next week, but in the meantime, here are some good regional matchups to be aware of! </p>

<p><em>Most anticipated game</em>: Rainier Beach vs. Lincoln at Garfield HS, 2/22, 8:00pm</p>
<p>Rainier Beach enters the game as the favorite, but Lincoln is always good for a tough fight. The Seattle versus Tacoma games rarely let fans down. You can expect a lot of highlight dunks and big blocks. 2020 6'6 SG <strong>Marjon Beauchamp</strong> of Rainier Beach is the high sought after recruit in this game, but there is a lot more talent to go around. Lincoln features 2021 <strong>Julien</strong> and 2019 <strong>Jayden Simon</strong>, who are both top notch football recruits. Checking in at 190 and 290 pounds, they can be a load inside. Those two will need to dominate the inside for Lincoln to win this game. 2019 6'4 SF<strong> Mykel Campbell</strong> is also known for his high flying dunks and could very well matchup with Beauchamp, along with Julien Simon. </p>
