Prep Hoops Chi-Town Tip Off – Ramsey’s Sunday Notebook

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just like that another weekend on the Prep Hoops Circuit is in the books. We had boots on the ground throughout the weekend at the Chi-Town Tip Off covering the action at the Romeoville Athletic Center on Friday and Saturday before wrapping things up on Sunday at the Wintrust Sports Complex. We will have some more content coming over the next few days, but for now let's empty out the notebook one more time and get into what we saw on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 8:00 a.m. crew was alive and well on Sunday morning as we began the day watching Indiana Attack Basketball Club 2025 roll to an 84-62 win over [program_tooltip program_id='2078376' first='Illinois' last='Attack'] Chapman/Olson. [player_tooltip player_id='1297089' first='Mason' last='Bales'] (Northridge H.S. 2025) led the way with 16 points for IABC. The left-handed guard is a versatile scorer that plays with great pace, has some athleticism to get up and score over defenders in the mid-range and at the rim, and can get hot from three-point range. Bales already holds an offer from Bethel and should continue to be highly sought after going into the spring and summer by small college programs. Backcourt mate [player_tooltip player_id='1525680' first='Paxan' last='Sullivan'] (Mishawka Marian H.S. 2025), [player_tooltip player_id='2406228' first='Alexander' last='Hawthorne'] (Penn H.S. 2025), and [player_tooltip player_id='2394153' first='Dylan' last='Springer'] (Northridge H.S. 2025) rounded out a balanced scoring attack in double-figures for Indiana Attack Basketball Club in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sticking with some strong performances during the first sett of games on Sunday morning, [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] National-1 2025 picked up a 91-78 win over IL Prestige Elite 2025. 6'3" guard [player_tooltip player_id='2391219' first='Paul' last='Gilvydis'] (Andrean H.S. 2025) scored 16 points to lead the way while [player_tooltip player_id='2405821' first='Anthony' last='Murphy'] (Michigan City H.S. 2025) added 12 points. Both of these prospects are physical guards with Gilvydis showcasing more ability from the perimeter while Murphy was dominant off of the dribble getting to the rim. However, the best showing of this game came from [player_tooltip player_id='2409482' first='Timothy' last='Morris'] (Glenbard West H.S. 2024) despite losing the game. The unsigned senior guard went off for 26 points and definitely looked the part of a player that college coaches should check in on if they needed an added scoring punch to their recruiting class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1297001' first='Chase' last='Barnes'] (Fort Wayne Wayne H.S. 2025) turned in arguably the game of the day scoring 28 points as [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] UA Rise 2025 defeated [program_tooltip program_id='2075267' first='All' last='in Athletics'] Figueroa 3SGB 2025 75-55. The 6'1" guard is very strong for his size while still being one of the quickest guards end-to-end with the ball in the gym. He is truly explosive in the open floor and can finish at a high percentage when he gets up around the rim. [player_tooltip player_id='1297027' first='Garrett' last='Clark'] (Portage H.S. 2025) had a couple of excellent stretches in this game as well finishing with 17 points. Clark can really, really shoot it and also is a great athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2410809' first='Brant' last='Garber'] (Fairfield H.S. 2026) led five scores in double figures with 17 points as [program_tooltip program_id='2076210' first='5Star' last='Basketball'] 3SGB 2026 capped off a perfect 4-0 weekend in dominant fashion defeating Flight Athletics Inc. 2026 90-28. [player_tooltip player_id='2391343' first='Kaden' last='Grau'] (Westview H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='1675493' first='Braylen' last='White'] (South Bend St. Joseph 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='2398995' first='Brady' last='Scholl'] (Northridge H.S. 2026), and [player_tooltip player_id='2272823' first='Mason' last='Pearson'] (NorthWood H.S. 2026) rounded out the double-figures scorers with 16, 14, 12, and 12 points respectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>AR Elite 2026 finished off their weekend at the Chi-Town Tip Off with a 66-64 win over Fueled By Faith Athletes 2026. [player_tooltip player_id='2399236' first='Xavier' last='Porter'] (De La Salle Institute 2026) scored 16 points to go along with 8 rebounds while [player_tooltip player_id='2323307' first='Lucas' last='Johnson'] (De La Salle Institute) added 14 points. Porter is a very strong wing/forward at 6'3" who can mix it up around the basket with big defenders. His overall athleticism stands out right away. As for Johnson, he is a skilled 6'4" wing with a smooth jump shot. Look forward to seeing more of this group throughout the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] UA Rise 2026 went 2-0 on Sunday defeating Wisconsin Crusaders 2026 57-43 and then taking down [program_tooltip program_id='2075385' first='Chicago' last='Grinders'] 2026 54-32. [player_tooltip player_id='1989437' first='Logan' last='Pokorney'] (Chesterton H.S. 2026) led the way in game one with 11 points while [player_tooltip player_id='1561002' first='Jarvis' last='Tolbert Jr'] (South Bend Adams H.S. 2026) added 10 points. Then, in game two, it was Tolbert Jr. who was the leading scorer with 13 points while [player_tooltip player_id='1561100' first='Colson' last='Dobre'] (Marquette Catholic 2026) chipped in 10 points. Tolbert Jr was excellent all weekend long showcasing his dynamic scoring ability. Pokorney is a highly skilled wing that can really, really shoot the basketball. As for Dobre, he continues to grow currently standing around 6'7" and has his best basketball ahead of him. Definitely a name to remember. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
