Inderkum from Sacramento 24-1, traveled to Modesto Christian 22-5 for a nonleague matchup between two teams expected to make deep runs into the sectional playoffs starting next week. Here’s our observations from the game. Inderkum won 82-74.
Both teams were missing two starters in the game. Inderkum was without it’s leading scorer Derrick Claxton Derrick Claxton 6'4" | SG Inderkum | 2022 State CA-N a 6’5 2022 Guard who’s averaging 21.9 pts per game with multiple D1 offers and Anthony Williams Anthony Williams 6'8" | PF Inderkum | 2022 State CA-N a 6’9 Center who has D1 potential and post presence on defense. Modesto Christian was down two starters. BJ Davis BJ Davis 6'2" | CG Modesto Christian | 2023 State #182 Nation CA-N 6’1 2023 Guard, 17 pts per game, and Ty Virgil Ty Virgil 6'5" | SG Supreme Academy | 2025 State #154 Nation AZ 6’4 2024 W/G, 10.5 per game. Both players have D1 offers.
Inderkum likes to play a uptempo style of basketball pressing and trapping in both full and half court. On any given game they may go deep into the bench using 10-12 players. There’s a couple players on the bench who have the speed and quickness to trap and defend all out for their time on the court. They stay ready, this team averages over 80pts a game, have hit the century mark 4 times this season.
Inderkum 24-1 has 4 or more prospects who are next level players, we saw two of them have outstanding performances in this game. Jalen Glenn Jalen Glenn 6'5" | SF Inderkum | 2023 State CA-N 6’5 2023 Guard was the games top point producer with 32pts. His performance in this game makes him a must see player for college coaches in the spring and summer. Jermaine Haliburton Jermaine Haliburton 6'2" | PG Inderkum | 2023 State CA-N 6’2 2023 Guard should also be a must see for college coaches. He was equally as impressive dropping 30pts. The two combined for 62 of Inderkums 82 points.
Modesto Christian 22-5. Jamari Phillips Jamari Phillips 6'3" | SG Dream City Christian | 2024 State #20 Nation AZ 6’3 2024 Guard one of the top ranked prospects nationally in the 2024 class did all he could do in this game, (20pts at the half) before fouling out with 29pts, and 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. He was just getting into takeover mode before fouling out.
Modesto Christian has it’s own talented young underclassmen who tried to carry the load after Phillips early departure. Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis 6'3" | SG Lincoln, Stockton | 2025 State CA-N 6’3 2025 Guard who was inserted into the starting line up made his first five shots all 3ptrs. He knocked down open shots while Phillips was being face guarded and double teamed through 3 qtrs, and Prince Oseya Prince Oseya 6'10" | C Modesto Christian | 2023 State CA-N 6’10 2023 Center isn’t yet scoring a lot of points right now, but did make his presence known throughout this contest as he challenged players coming into the post area, he had at least 4 blocks and 10 rebounds. They call Davis (Zeke) This was a coming out party for those that don’t know Zeke the young 2025 prospect. Five 3’s and 17pts.
