Sequoyah vs. Berkmar-BCB MLK Showcase

Sequoyah (12-5, 6-0) vs. Berkmar (10-6, 6-2)

Sequoyah enters the BCB Showcase under coach Jeremy Adams. The 5A school will be led on the court by two Division 1 prospects in Cameron Cox and Jordan Usher. Cox, a senior point guard that has verbally committed to Navy, is averaging 17.6 points per game. His 6’2 physical size at the position will be a tough match up for the Patriots. Junior Jordan Usher is also receiving Division 1 looks - from Nebraska, Georgia State, and Harvard, just to name a few. He is a versatile player that can play inside and out, and is averaging 19.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The glue for the Chiefs is senior guard Levi Biddy. Biddy can fill up a stat sheet and is an all-around player that can quietly impact a game. The Chiefs have five guys at anytime on the court that can grab the rebound and attack in transition, allowing for an up-tempo style on offense. The Chiefs will look to pressure on defense in the half-court to allow for more transition opportunities. 





Berkmar enters the game under coach Greg Phillips in his 7th season with the Patriots.  The team's guard-oriented and balanced attack on offense allows for an up-tempo style game. The Patriots are led on the court by Indiana-signee wing player Al Durham. Durham, a lefty, is averaging 14.5 points per game. Senior point guard Lane Foster is establishing himself as a Division I prospect, and is an excellent distributor and defender, while averaging 8 points per game. Junior wing player Jay Estime is averaging 14.5 points per game and is drawing interest from Lehigh, North Florida, and Princeton. The 6A school has a depth of scoring ability with four other contributors averaging between 7-9 points per game. The Patriots are a versatile team, excelling at a variety of defenses depending on the match up. This could be a high scoring game considering the offensive talent that both teams bring.
