Continue ReadingGerry Freitas brought together a great group of high schools from California and beyond for the SoCal Fall Prep Classic at Santiago Canyon College in Orange, California. This led to a great weekend of competitive basketball that gave teams a chance to measure themselves against opponents they wouldn’t normally face during the high school season.
Derelle is a super long, very athletic, big man. He constantly affects or blocks opponents shots in the paint, vacuums in rebounds on both ends, and has good touch around the basket including the ability to finish with brute force above the rim.
Highlights
Peyton looked strong, very mobile, and showed good touch around the basket and on short jumpers this weekend. His mobility and strength enable him to be a very switchable asset on the defensive end, and allows him to take advantage of bigger defenders away from the basket on offense. White also has the ball handling skill, playmaking vision, and touch to be very difficult to deal with in transition for opponents.
Aaron is a great scoring guard. This weekend exemplified his ability to create his own shot on the perimeter, attack the basket with confidence, and play unselfishly. Glass’s shooting ability is such that defense’s instinctively shade over to wherever he is, and this gravitational pull helps him find open shots for teammates. In a more open environment, his shooting and playmaking abilities are even more pronounced.

Mckae Amundsen
Mckae is a live-wire playmaker on the offensive end. Super quick, he darts around the offensive end with or without the ball and is able to create a bounty of opportunities for his teammates. Like his brother, Amundsen is also a very confident shooter, and he provides great floor spacing for his offense.

Vyctorius showed off his ability to “get to his spot” this weekend. The strong, skillful guard uses his handle and upper body strength to get in front of defenders when attacking the basket and is able to hold people off expertly. Miller’s athleticism allows him to get into the paint almost whenever he wants to and is a large factor in why he is so effective in transition as well. Furthering his offensive repertoire, he also provides floor spacing as a 3 point shooter, and forces defenders to play up on him.
