One matchups to watch in every Buckshot O’Brien Day 1 matchup

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Florida is hosting its feast week filled with holiday tournaments boasting the best talent. Let's start with the Bushot O'Brien tournament that will fill the stands packed throughout the evening. Here are four matchups that will have you glued to your seat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Durant vs Bradenton Christian<br>The marque duel heading into this one is sharpshooter [player_tooltip player_id='1306085' first='Austin' last='White'] against the scoring prowess of [player_tooltip player_id='1306129' first='Jaden' last='Baker']. Both are excellent jump shooters; they just use it differently. White is a knockdown catch and shooter specialist beyond the arc. He led the state in made threes as a sophomore. Baker is a three-level scorer with the footwork needed to be a consistent pull-up shooter. He's an underrated athlete with a strong sense of when to score in bunches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gateway Charter vs Wharton<br>The matchup between 2025 prospects [player_tooltip player_id='1301769' first='Nick' last='Womack'] and Pat Johnson. Womack is a playmaking guard with a solid frame. He switches between scoring in isolation and creating for others. Johnson provides double-double potential with his 6'8 size and muscular frame. He's a solid finisher in the paint and has the athleticism to finish above the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Villages vs Providence<br>This game has Star power with Division 1 prospects Chris Washington Jr. and [player_tooltip player_id='1052381' first='Chris' last='Arias'] on the floor, but the difference may be [player_tooltip player_id='1859295' first='Brady' last='Patterson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2802065' first='Jared' last='Thompson']. Both guards play important roles on their team while showing off next-level skillsets. Patterson is a crafty ball handler who can make plays off the dribble and doubles as a consistent shooter off the catch. His feel for the game helps him impact both sides of the floor as a 6-foot guard. Thompson is a 6'3 sophomore with a well-rounded game. He runs your offense, defends perimeter positions, rebounds well for his position, and displays a high IQ for the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Petersburg vs Calvary Christian<br>This matchup belongs to the class of 2026. Ethan Sabec, a 6'4 sophomore, has taken the leap during the preseason. He has supreme confidence shooting the ball at all levels and is developing into a next-level athlete. He competes on both ends, but with Calvary down as a key player to start the season, this may be his season to become a regionally recognized name. Eric Gainer, a 5'11 lead guard, has a scorer's DNA, and it will be unleashed after St. Petersburg loses four seniors. Gainer is a quick-shot creator who can get to his spots and fill up the cup on all three levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
