2019 Fresh Coast Classic Preview

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Wisconsin high school basketball season is here — finally. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year, the Fresh Coast Classic sends us off into competitive action, pitting Milwaukee’s finest in six high-profile, non-conference bouts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Where:</strong> Brown Deer HS</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>When:</strong> November 29-30</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Live Stream:</strong> The Athlete (Twitter: @TheAthleteLive)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Featured Teams:</strong> Brown Deer, Milwaukee Academy of Science, Arrowhead, Milwaukee King, Brookfield Academy, Milwaukee Madison, Milwaukee Hamilton, Golda Meir, Milwaukee Lutheran, Milwaukee Washington, Milwaukee Carmen, Nicolet</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Featured 2020s:</strong> Darius Hannah, Kaleim Taylor, Carter Gilmore, Aidan Clarey, Alex Leach, Derrick Ousley, Javeon Tolliver</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Featured 2021s:</strong> Quinton Murrell, Logan Landers, Tre Valeriano, Selle Dime, James Graham, Kobe Johnson, Kyjuan Roberts</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Featured 2022s:</strong> Armani Jones, Donovan Sparks</span></p> <p><strong>Top Game: Milwaukee Academy of Science vs Nicolet:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Four likely division one prospects will take the floor in this game, kicking off the year with a non-conference, inter-divisional slugfest. Thinking bigger, it's our first look at a revamped Nicolet team since Jalen Johnson and Jamari Sibley departed while also giving Darius Hannah a high-profile debut after battling a knee injury last season.</span></p> <p><strong>Underrated Game: Milwaukee Madison vs Arrowhead:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee Madison is a sleeper team, and there’s no better way of breaking that shell than with a win over Carter Gilmore and Arrowhead. In addition to that, these two teams could make noise in the division one playoff bracket. Both teams slipped up before State last season, but with stars lining each roster, this could be the precursor to a late playoff bout. </span></p> <p><strong>Predictions:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee King vs Brookfield Academy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: Brookfield Academy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee Washington vs Milwaukee Lutheran</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: Milwaukee Lutheran</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee Hamilton vs Milwaukee Carmen</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: Milwaukee Hamilton</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee Madison vs Arrowhead</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: Arrowhead</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brown Deer vs Golda Meir</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: Brown Deer</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milwaukee Academy of Science vs Nicolet</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Winner: MAS</span></p>
