Small school’s big time game: ‘Natha vs. Flintridge Prep


Above: Maranatha freshman Jeremy Major is fun to watch.

Maranatha’s Jeremy Major and Flintridge Prep’s Kenyatta Smith will meet today at 3:30 p.m. in an exciting nonleague boys basketball game at Flintridge Prep. Major, a speedy freshman guard averaging 6 points per game, will test the Rebels’ inside presence, anchored by the 6-foot-7, 265 pound center Smith, who is only a junior. I will be there and we’ll have a photographer there, too. I hear it came down between St. Francis and Maranatha as to where Major would attend school. I saw him play against St. Francis in the La Canada Tournament last month and he was every bit as advertised. I hear the same about Smith, who put on some muscle and is no longer the lanky kid from last year. Flintridge Prep is 9-4 overall with wins over St. Francis, Sierra Canyon, Monrovia and Temescal Canyon in the prestigious Torrey Pines Tournament. The Rebels played Montclair Prep tough in a 53-50 loss early last month. Should be fun to see how they’ve progressed this year.
