1:30 PM Langston Hughes (13-3) vs. Grayson (12-3)

Langston Hughes returns to the BCB MLK Showcase and they will look to continue their winning ways at the event.  Monday will mark the third game in four days for Coach Rory Welsh and his Panthers, which includes a Friday night region test at #4 Tri-Cities (6A) and Monday’s clash against #8 Grayson (7A).  The Panthers are led by the talented Virginia Tech commit, Landers Nolley, senior wing/forward Tyler Smith and junior guard Tyrel Morgan.  Coach Welsh is known for having his team ready to compete and this weekend will be a great test before they seek to defend their 6A State Championship come March.

Coach Geoffery Pierce and his team have played one of the toughest schedules in the state this season and Monday will continue that trend.  The Rams are led by the senior guard combo of Travii Anderson (Charleston Southern commit) and Nick Edwards, and have gotten key contributions from multiple players this season, including junior forward Kenyon Jackson.  Grayson has their own state title aspirations after losing in the 7A Final Four last season and with a win over Langston Hughes on MLK Day, the Rams will enter the back of the schedule battle proven.
