Sure, there will be a stupendous matchup of the two high school basketball players in the Western United States when Demar DeRozan and his Compton High teammates take on Jrue Holiday and his Campbell Hall budies in a Tournament of Championships bracket play quarterfinal at Ocean View at 8:15 tonight.
But in the the last quarterfinal of the night, Harvard-Westlake (and Renaldo Woolridge) face Santa Margarita (and Klay Thompson) at 9:30. Both of those young gentlemen were also first-team selectons on th Press-Telegram Best in the West team last month.
Here's the entire slate of games at Ocean View:
3, Lakewood vs. Phoenix St. Mary's (consolation)
4:15, Pasadena vs. Clovis West (consolation)
5:30, Bakersfield vs. Ocean View (quarterfinal)
7, JSerra vs. Westchester (quarterfinal)
8:15, Compton vs. Campbell Hall (quarterfinal)
9:30, Santa Margarita vs. Harvard-Westlake (quarterfinal).
In Wednesday night action, DeRozan had a bunch of dunks for Compton in its easy victory over Bakersfield, while Thompson (37 points) was phenomenal in his team's 63-60 win over Pasadena -- which, by the way, was played with the same level of competitiveness as you'd see in a CIF SS title game.
