Here are the results from the second-round games.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Championship Bracket</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ogden 48 Johnson Prep 46</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ogden jumped out early behind 2026 guard Jacob Brown. A quick guard who gets to the rim often with strong attacks. He's smaller in size but gets to the line often when driving. Johnson was able to get some scoring from guard James Kohn with 13 points. Jacob Brown led all scorers with 18 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>UP Bronzeville 38 Muchin 30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Urban Prep continues to get a lift from 2027 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2892375' first='Malakhi' last='Calahan']. He's a young guard who can shoot the rock. He scored half of his team's points on Thursday leading the game with 20 points in the win and a spot in the final 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Julian 39 DRW Prep 32&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a rematch from two weeks ago. The host school jumped out early again on DRW with scoring from 2026 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2409130' first='Devin' last='Ticer'] and Ian Flowers. They both finished with 12 points. Quentin Cantrell did his part for the Cheetas scoring 12 himself and just falling short of an upset.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Richards (Chi) 50 Holy Trinity 41</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Richards Career did a great job at playing fast against Holy Trinity. Their defense sped them up at times which led to many fast break points for the Warriors. Lama Bruce broke out with 17 points. A heady guard who can score from all three levels of the court. The Tigers made a late push behind Aiden Upchurch and his 11 points.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Consolation Games Results&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chicago Military 33 Hansberry 18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CMA: Zaid Shine 10 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Orr 45 DuSable 35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Orr: Markalen Jones 15 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hammond Academy S&amp;T 47 Legal Prep 35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HAST: Jalil Powell 18 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Englewood Stem 42 Catalyst Maria 26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Englewood Stem: Almontie Morris 17 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
