<p>SANTA ANA — The 25th edition of the Nike Extravaganza tipped off over the weekend with fourteen games spread across two days and featuring many of Southern California's top programs along with a couple of strong out-of-state teams. Below is the first set of top individual performances from Saturday's action at Mater Dei high school.</p>

<p>Mobley showed yet again why he's considered one of the top three prospects in the country for the 2020 class. The 6-foot-11 forward finished with 18 points on 8-for-11 from the field to go along with 15 rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots in a 58-55 victory. The USC-bound senior has an impact on every aspect of the game, on both ends of the floor, and that's what makes him such an intriguing long-term prospect.</p>

<p><strong>Chuck Harris</strong>, Gonzaga</p>
<p>Harris had a nice overall floor game in Gonzaga's loss to Rancho Christian, finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists in just 21 minutes of action. The 6-foot-3 senior, headed to Butler in the fall, showed aggressiveness and heady playmaking ability on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p>Offense was tough to come by for both Rancho Christian and Gonzaga, but Harris was able to hit shots when needed to help the Eagles to a three point victory over Gonzaga. The 6-foot-3 combo guard bound for Gonzaga (the college) finished with 13 points on 5-for-10 from the field.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ryan-evans/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ryan-evans/">Ryan Evans</a></a></strong>, Mater Dei</p>
<p>Evans was one of few Monarchs to turn in an efficient effort in Saturday's loss to Whitney Young. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard played all 32 minutes and finished with 14 points on 5-for-9 from the field, including 4-for-7 from 3-point range. The Cal Poly SLO-bound senior also grabbed four rebounds.</p>
<p><strong>Terrance Williams</strong>, Gonzaga</p>
<p>Williams is an absolute load in the painted area with his 6-foot-6, 215-pound frame. The four-star power forward, heading to Michigan in the fall, finished with team high's in both points and rebounds, registering 15 and 8 in those respective categories. Williams was forced to settle for perimeter jumpers due to the defensive pressure from the above-mentioned Mobley, and while he went 5-for-11 on two-point field goals, he only hit one of his seven attempts from 3-point range.</p>
