High school basketball fans will be in for a treat this Friday and Saturday as teams from Georgia take on some of Florida’s best in the Marriott Invitational at Norcross High School. Each day will feature two games with Dunwoody and Norcross playing Choice Learning Academy (Miami, FL) and Monsignor Pace High School (Miami, FL) in a round-robin format. As the host school, the Blue Devils of Norcross will play in both night’s nightcaps. On Friday, Dunwoody will face Monsignor Pace, which is currently ranked as the No. 1 team in the Class 4A classification. The team is led by 6-foot-9 Louisville-signee Rakeem Buckles, as well as guard Darren Stewart (Florida Atlantic commitment) and guard Christian Martinez (uncommitted, ranked in the top 30 Florida prospects). The first night wraps up with Norcross facing Choice Learning Academy, led by 6-8 Tony Mitchell (Kansas State) and 6-9 Noma Adjaito (VCU). The following night, Dunwoody faces Choice at 7 p.m. followed at 8:30 with Norcross squaring off against Buckles and Monsignor.
Norcross is currently ranked No. 2 in the recent GACA Coaches Poll and No. 4 in the Score Atlanta all-class poll. The Blue Devils (14-1, 10-0) are led by Jeremy and Zach Lamb, as well as star guard Taariq Muhammad and Denzail Jones. The Dunwoody Wildcats meanwhile are unranked but enter the Marriott Invitational fresh off a victory over Peachtree Ridge.
