The Warriors were led again by senior [player_tooltip player_id='2724412' first='Lamar' last='Bruce']. He's a tough guard who defends the ball frantically and makes opposing guards play faster. Richards's guards caused several turnovers that led to Bruce racking up assists and points off fastbreaks. Ogden never really recovered as the pace of the game was too much to overcome. [player_tooltip player_id='2724412' first='Lamar' last='Bruce'] finished with 16 points and a plethora of assists. Richards 2025 guard Rashad Lyons also chipped in with 14 points. Richards Career Academy is the 2024 Champions. Lamar was the Tournament MVP&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Third Place Game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Julian 57<br>Urban Prep Bronzeville 52</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In another rematch from a week ago Julian was victorious behind the play of 2026 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2409130' first='Devin' last='Ticer']. Small guard who can score from the perimeter and draw fouls while attacking the basket. He finished several fastbreaks where he scored the bucket and was fouled. Ticer led the Jaguars with 18 points. Urban Prep Bronzeville was again led by breakout 2027 guard [player_tooltip player_id='2892375' first='Malakhi' last='Calahan']. His ability to shoot on the move and standstill situations is a luxury to have in today's games. Malakhi was in foul trouble but was still able to lead all scorers with 19 points.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More Game Results:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legal Prep 37<br>Hansberry 35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legal Prep: Jamontay Scott 14pts<br>Hansberry: [player_tooltip player_id='2499134' first='Matthew' last='Taylor'] 10pts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holy Trinity 34<br>Johnson 24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holy Trinity: [player_tooltip player_id='2423487' first='Drayton' last='Williams'] 10pts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Catalyst Maria 40<br>DRW Prep 37</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Catalyst Maria: Jayden Haynes 11pts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Orr 37<br>Englewood Stem 18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Orr: Cyrus Westbrook 10pts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
