McD 35 Jamboree Preview

<p>Jamboree&#39;s get under way today and the opportunity to go see some of New Orleans&#39; finest was too good to pass up. Best of luck to everyone across the state as they begin play. Tonight&#39;s match-ups are sure to entertain despite the football players and early season rust. Games get underway at 5:15.</p><p>The first match-up is between McMain and Holy Cross. Both teams missed the playoffs but are sure to be improved this year. <strong>Xavian McKay </strong>for Holy Cross is an athletic guard who seems to have put it together this summer. He&#39;ll be an integral piece if Holy Cross wants to make playoffs.</p> <p>Next up is Warren Easton versus Country Day. Coming off a Top 28 in 1A, 2017 PG <strong>Romin Williams</strong> and company are looking to make a similar run in a tough 2A. Their guard play which includes 2016s <strong>Michael Corchiani</strong> and <strong>Trey Harrell</strong> will be the determining factor. Easton looks to improve on the 20 seed from last year and <strong>Brenton Jarrow</strong> will be the key player as a 6&#39;6 F.</p> <p>Hosts McDonogh 35 take on Ben Franklin who missed the playoffs last year. McD 35 is coming off a Top 28 run and are led by the two UMass signees in <strong>Dejon Jarreau </strong>and <strong>Brison Gresham</strong>. The emergence of young players like <strong>Cardiz Humble</strong> will be crucial to their success. They are a favorite in 4A this season.</p> <p>The final game of the evening matches up last season&#39;s 4A champion in Landry-Walker versus an always threatening team in St Augustine. Both teams have numerous players out due to football but will still field deep rosters. Top 5 players in 2016 <strong>Lamar Peters</strong> (Miss St commit) and <strong>Cameron Lard</strong> for LW will lead the way while <strong>Devante Jones </strong> and 2017 star <strong>Caleb Daniels </strong>will hold down the fort for Aug.</p>
