6:00 PM United Faith Christian Academy (NC) 5-3 vs. Buford HS (GA) 3-2
Coach Josh Coley and his United Faith team return to Georgia and look to knock off another opponent on their home floor, as they defeated Peachtree Ridge HS at the BCB MLK Showcase last season. The Falcons look to improve on their state runner-up finish last season and Coach Coley is excited that he gets to return a team led by a group of seniors: Guard Jaylen Sims (UNCW Commit), Guard Rafael Jenkins, Forward KC Hanston and Center Nate Springs (Ohio Commit). Once you add Junior wings Jason Thompson and Sam Wolfe to the mix, United Faith has an opportunity to silence the Buford crowd.
This is an exciting week for the Buford Wolves as there have been positive signs which could see team-leader and Lipscomb commit Alex Jones return to the floor. With Jones down, the Wolves have been led by Georgia Southern commit David Viti and the junior combo of guard Donnell Nixon and the talented, athletic forward Marcus Watson. Coming off their 5A State Championship in 2017 legendary Head Coach Eddie Martin’s eighth title overall, the Wolves are again the favorite this year. Their slow start to the new season, in part speaks to the value of floor general, Alex Jones but make no mistake, they will be heard from come March.
The boys nightcap features another pair of championship level programs with their eyes on a win Saturday but more importantly, preparing themselves for their state title aspirations.
