<p><strong>Game #1: Calvary Christian (Clearwater) vs Charlotte (Punta Gorda)- Saturday at 12:00pm</strong>: You can make an argument that this could be the best game of the event when you look at the talent on display. Calvary Christian (3-0) is led by 6'0 junior point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1055592' first='Daniel' last='MacGregor'] who is one of the best perimeter shooters you may find this weekend. Charlotte is led by 6'5 junior small forward [player_tooltip player_id='1578259' first='Chris' last='Cornish'] who has been averaging a double-double in the first two games of the season for the Tarpons. Another name to keep an eye on will be 6'7 senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1578301' first='John' last='Gamble'] who put up 21 points and 8 rebounds in the season-opener against Cardinal Mooney. <strong>Prediction: Calvary Christian</strong></p>

<p><strong>Game #2: Victory Christian Academy (Lakeland) vs Mariner (Naples)- Saturday at 1:40pm</strong>: Victory Christian has one of the most dangerous backcourts in the shootout featuring 6'2 junior point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1055782' first='Lorenzo' last='Cason'] and 6'0 junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1296001' first='Mike' last='Andino']. The Mariner Tritons have gotten off to a slow start (0-4) to begin the season, but have no easy test with the Storm standing in their way tomorrow. Keep an eye on the backcourt for Mariner featuring 6'1 sophomore guard Roanin Solis and 6'2 junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2197826' first='Kelvin' last='Jimenez']. <strong>Prediction: Victory Christian Academy</strong></p>

<p><strong>Game #3: Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota) vs Community School of Naples- Saturday at 3:20pm</strong>: The Cardinal Mooney Cougars (1-1) have split their first two games this season coming off a 67-54 win over Manatee in their last game. Keep an eye on 6'3 junior combo guard Connor Heald in this one as he's been leading the team in scoring each of the first two games. The Community School of Naples Seahawks (4-0) will likely apply a ton of pressure on the defensive end, as they've allowed just 49.7 points per game through their first four games this season. Keep an eye on 6'2 senior point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1463424' first='Jackson' last='McAdams'] for the Seahawks as he's averaging near 20 points per game so far this season. <strong>Prediction: Community School of Naples</strong></p>
