Games I Attended
North Cobb Christian (72) vs Mt. Paran (26)
This game wasn’t very competitive and Mt. Paran struggled to match the size and skill of North Cobb Christian. The loss of Bradley Kemp Bradley Kemp 6'7" | PF Mt. Paran | 2024 State GA (torn meniscus) is a huge blow for Mt. Paran, leaving them without much size at all. CJ Wallace CJ Wallace 5'11" | PG North Cobb Christian School | 2023 State GA and Christian Hernandez both played well for NCCS, combining for 8 three-pointers and leading the Eagles to the win.
Hiram (87) vs Paulding County (68)
Hiram took care of Paulding County on Friday night with a very impressive showing on all accounts. They were flying around on defense, racking up a ton of blocks and steals. Chase Tyler Chase Tyler 6'4" | SG Hiram | 2024 State GA was dominant, scoring 22 first-half points and finishing with 31 in the game. Javonne Williams Javonne Williams 5'11" | CG Paulding County | 2023 State GA was a aggressive for Paulding County and had 25 points.
Parkview (63) vs Collins Hill (47)
Parkview took home the win in the early morning game of the TOC Holiday Classic. It was another great showcase outing for Jacob Wilkins Jacob Wilkins 6'9" | SF Grayson | 2025 State #14 Nation GA and he led all scorers with 26 points. Parkview did a great job on Keishawn Hampton Keishawn Hampton 6'1" | PG Collins Hill | 2023 State GA , limiting him to just 15 points. Mike Matthews Mike Matthews 6'1" | PG Parkview | 2024 GA also provided energy, making numerous hustle plays and throwing down a few big dunks.
Langston Hughes (53) vs Tucker (50)
Langston Hughes-Tucker turned out to be one of the best games on Saturday at Wheeler. Both teams played well at times and had their respective runs but Langston Hughes was able to finish at the end. It was a well-rounded attack for Hughes and Randy Latham Randy Latham 6'2" | PG Langston Hughes | 2023 State GA stepped up in some big moments. Khayri Dunn Khayri Dunn 6'1" | CG Tucker | 2024 State GA impressed from Tucker with his on-ball defense and ability to get to the free throw line.
Shiloh (62) vs Holy Innocents (53)
Shiloh ended up pulling out the win in a game that was tight throughout. Tylis Jordan Tylis Jordan 6'9" | SF Shiloh | 2025 State #79 Nation GA got hot in the second half and helped Shiloh pull away in the 4th. He led all scorers with 25 points. Will Hopkins Will Hopkins 6'5" | SG Holy Innocents’ | 2024 State GA and Devin Hutcherson played well for HIES but the absences of Caleb Wilson Caleb Wilson 6'10" | PF Holy Innocents | 2025 State #3 Nation GA and O’Neill Connolly O’Neill Connolly 6'6" | SF Mt. Pisgah | 2024 State GA certainly hurt.
Grayson (64) vs Alexander (60)
This one turned out to be the best game of the day at the TOC Holiday Classic. Alexander played a tough 36 minutes and had several leads throughout the game. While CJ Hyland CJ Hyland 6'0" | PG Grayson | 2024 State GA went down early in the game, Gicarri Harris Gicarri Harris 6'4" | CG Grayson | 2024 State #86 Nation GA stepped up and scored the ball efficiently. Amir Taylor Amir Taylor 6'8" | PF Grayson | 2025 State #198 Nation GA also had a great game and finished with 18 points.
Pebblebrook (63) vs Tr-Cities (41)
Pebblebrook gets the runaway win over Tri-Cities on Saturday behind Jase McCullough Jase McCullough 6'2" | CG Pebblebrook | 2023 State GA ‘s 27 points. His three-ball was falling all game and he finished with 7 three-pointers. Caleb Thomas Caleb Thomas 5'10" | PG Pebblebrook | 2025 State GA stepped up and handled the PG responsibilities while TJ Holmes was out with injury. Prince Johnson Prince Johnson 6'7" | PF Pebblebrook | 2023 State GA also had a great 2nd-half and had a couple of huge dunks.
Kell (67) vs McEachern (62)
Unfortunately, neither team was at full strength in this one but that doesn’t take anything away from Kell’s impressive win. With Peyton Marshall Peyton Marshall 7'0" | C Overtime Elite | 2024 State GA sidelined, I expected Kell to struggle with McEachern’s size but their adapted playing style turned out to be incredibly smooth and effective. CJ Brown CJ Brown 6'2" | PG Kell | 2024 State #150 Nation GA had several highlight plays and led Kell with 18 points. Jaylen Colon Jaylen Colon 6'0" | PG Kell | 2024 State GA also had 17, including multiple deep threes.
