| 1. Vashon 5-0 Nationally ranked and full of Division 1 Players. The best team in the area. | ||||||||
| 2. Chaminade 4-1 They have two must see players in Barrington Davis and Jericole Hellems. I was surprised they lost to Champaign Central though. | ||||||||

St. Charles hasn’t played anybody yet. The teams they played have a record of 7-18. St. Mary’s has one of my favorite point guards #1) Yuri Collins G Sophomore 5’11” has all the tools. He’s averaging 10 points a game, 4.8 assists a game and is only going to get better and better. They have two other good players in #22) Antonio Burks G JR 6’2″ is averaging 19.2 points per game and is shooting 88% from the line. He can really shoot. The last player is #44) Yahuza Rasas F/C JR 6’6″ 16.3 points 4.0 rebounds per game. The St. Mary’s coach is Kelvin Lee the former coach of Chaminade ,Bradley Beals and David Lee. They will be really tough as the year goes on.
Vashon does have a lot of freshman on the team but the main core is#32) Levi Stockard III F/C SR 6’8″ already committed to Kansas State, #5) Daniel “Peanut” Farris PG SR 6′ some low end Division 1 schools interested and last but not least #4) Mario McKinney G Soph 6’2″ has all the big programs looking at him. The Vashon coach is Tony Irons, an excellent coach. He is the son of former Vashon iconic coach Floyd Irons.
