In their first game today, Jacob Rice Jacob Rice 6'4" | SG Western Reserve Acadmey | 2025 OH scored 25 points as Chi Hoops took care of business against All-In. Winning 67-63. I watched their second matchup against PEAK (AZ) Closely. Jacob Rice Jacob Rice 6'4" | SG Western Reserve Acadmey | 2025 OH showed me something new on his first bucket, as he drained a heavily contested post-spin fadeaway. He helped get Chi Hoops off to a 22-11 start with excellent defending. There were lots of players knocking down shots and contributing offensively, too. Caleb Lindsey Caleb Lindsey 6'5" | SF St. Laurence | 2025 State IL got into some foul trouble early. But before that, he hit a contested three and a reverse layup driving down the lane. Another player who stepped up in the first half was Bradley Stratton Bradley Stratton 6'1" | SG St. Laurence | 2025 State IL , who put up 11 points with three 3-pointers in the opening frame. Caleb Lindsey Caleb Lindsey 6'5" | SF St. Laurence | 2025 State IL began the second half with a very explosive drive towards the rim. He put back his own miss inside shortly after, and then snagged some more tough rebounds with his bounce and long wingspan. Jacob Rice Jacob Rice 6'4" | SG Western Reserve Acadmey | 2025 OH even picked up a pair of assists in addition to a few more scores inside. Five players were in double figures midway through the second half as Chicago Hoops led by over 30 in a runaway win.
24:Up 17U Wins Late vs All-In Kvamme
It was the close game from the start with both teams exchanging buckets at a high volume. For All-In, Makai Kvamme Makai Kvamme 6'0" | PG DePaul Prep | 2025 State IL facilitated the offense with ease. A big time playmaker doing what he does bear, getting his guys involved. He racked up plenty of assists to start the game. 6’5” F Wes Gudeman Wes Gudeman 6'3" | SF Morton | 2025 State IL did a good job of knocking down those shots. Hitting a pair of triples from the top of the key early on. For 24:Up, Garrett Murphy was hot early. He doesn’t panic and makes quick decisions with the ball. He buried three triples in the opening half to go along with a contested baseline drive to the hoop. They continued to hold an advantage in the second half as Aiden Krause Aiden Krause 6'4" | SF Muskego | 2024 State WI used his strength inside for some tough buckets at the rim. But the team defense was even more impressive. They communicated well and constantly cut off driving lanes. Holding All-In to less than 10 points through the third quarter of the game. But All-In would bounce back. Wes Gudeman Wes Gudeman 6'3" | SF Morton | 2025 State IL utilized his big frame down low for a tough inside score. While Makai Kvamme Makai Kvamme 6'0" | PG DePaul Prep | 2025 State IL supplied a bucket and some more assists. With 40 seconds left, Aiden Krause Aiden Krause 6'4" | SF Muskego | 2024 State WI had a steal-and-score to give 24:Up a 1-point lead. Two FT’s sealed it as 24:Up won 53-50.
M14 17U Has Big Second Half To Beat PEAK (AZ)
I missed a good chunk of this game because the previous matchup went into triple OT. For PEAK, I was a big fan of Christian Wells. The 2024 SG lit it up from the floor early with a handful of three’s and buckets from all levels. He’s got an excellent build too and should be a prospect D2’s and High D3’s should look out for. On the other side. Treshawn Blissett Treshawn Blissett 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2024 State IL showed plenty of potential. Ling lengthy 6’5” build allowed him to make a big impact defensively. Offensively, he made two inside buckets and followed it up with a pair of three’s in the first half. M14 held a decent advantage at the break. In the second half, Christian Wells kept PEAK in it with another deep three and a pair of free throws. But M14 stepped up and went on a run shortly after. Jalen Crues Jalen Crues 6'6" | PF Glenbard North | 2024 State IL had a ferocious one-handed poster which was replicated by Will Ashford Will Ashford 6'5" | SF Metea Valley | 2024 State IL a few minutes later. I was personally a big fan of Ashford last weekend with Metea Valley. This weekend was no different. He hit three triples in this contest and ended with 14 points. M14 used a big second half on to win 70-60. Treshawn Blissett Treshawn Blissett 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2024 State IL led the way with 17 points. PG Bryce Welch Bryce Welch 6'2" | PG Naperville North | 2024 State IL finished with 12 and hit two 3’s. Christian Wells led PEAK with 17.
First Look at Flight 17U vs All-In
This was the first time I’ve watched this Flight 17U squad. 6’5” F Dominic Pangallo Dominic Pangallo 6'4" | SF Homewood Flossmoor | 2024 State IL started the game with four triples and an inside bucket. He also had a block late in the first half and followed it up with his fifth three of the contest. 6’5” F Jaziah Harper Jaziah Harper 6'6" | PG Bosco Institute | 2024 IL also had a big first half and scored double figures in the period. Flight was down almost the entire opening half until TJ Lee hit a three in the corner. He followed that up with a reverse layup slashing down the baseline to take a three point lead into the break. Both of those plays were set up by KJ Cathey, who displayed excellent vision and unselfishness throughout the game. He knew exactly when a player would be open, while also utilizing numerous types of passes. Jaziah Harper Jaziah Harper 6'6" | PG Bosco Institute | 2024 IL opened the second half for Flight on a tear. He blocked three shots inside and got open in the paint for a couple easy scores. A few minutes later, he hit a corner three with six minutes left to tie up the game. Although they wouldn’t win this game, there’s a lot to like about Flight Athletics overall.
