Ja Morant was rated as a 2-Star recruit out of HS at Sumter Crestwood. He has more than proven that he was slightly underrated as a HS performer. Former ToC players Daivien Williamson and Quentin Hodge (also from Sumter) have a chance of proving themselves in the same way.
The Rayville Hornets will be playing for the Louisiana 2A State Championship on Friday, March 8th against Port Allen. The Hornets are averaging 118 points per game in their state tournament run! Unbelievable!
With the 27th pick of the 2020 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select UDOKA AZUBUIKE!!
Udoka was a ToC All-Tourney performer in 2014 with Potter's House Christian
Congrats, Udoka!

It's safe to say that E.J. Liddell is the most under-ranked HS performer in America! But, that's okay- he will pass a great number of those players ranked before him very soon! Keep working, E.J.! Your future is ridiculously bright!
Kevin Brown celebrated many birthdays at the ToC and today we celebrate him once again. The Kevin Brown Memorial Tournament of Champions tips off tomorrow and we look forward to all the competition that will be displayed at Torry Gym this week. You're in our thoughts, Kevin.
