12:00 PM Shiloh HS (3-3) vs. Peachtree Ridge HS (6-0)
The opening matchup of the showcase brings together two annual State Tournament teams from the highest classification in Georgia.
Coach Kim Rivers and his Generals are once again poised for another great season and they come into the event battle tested through six games. Coach Rivers and the Generals are led by talented 2019 Guard/Wing Elias King. The 6’7” high-major prospect is working to find his way after one season at Huntington Prep but looks poised and his ability to score in numerous ways make him a tough matchup. Along with King, Shiloh also bolsters a young lefty wing in Toneari Lane (2020) and an improving inside presence with 6’6” Senior Forward Shamari McLeod.
Their opponent, also from Gwinnett County, Peachtree Ridge is undefeated. Coach Keith Arrington and his program have been a consistent winner each year and this season should be no different. The Lions are led by smooth lefty guard Devin Vassell, who is committed to Coach Leonard Hamilton of Florida State, who has found recent success in recruiting the peach state. Along with Vassell, Coach Arrington leans heavily on his experienced leaders. Senior guard Tamir Harrison-Chester (2018), forwards Izu Onyekachi (2018) and BJ Knight (2019) will continue to improve as the season progresses.
Look for this game to be a tough, competitive battle between two teams known for their defensive prowess and aggressive play.
