This game on January 3rd will feature over 7 potential D1 athletes. Sheldon the home team comes in at #26 in CA and Rainer Beach #6 in WA according to Max Preps. Here are the key players and matchups to look for Thursday night.

  • Sheldon Huskies
  • Marcus Bagley (2020): The #1 player in Norcal is having a monstrous junior season and offers are rolling in. Recent offers include the University of Pittsburg and Long Beach St.
  • Josh Morgan (2019): The Long Beach St. signee will need to protect the rim against a hand full of high fliers on the Vikings.
  • Justin Nguyen (2019): Will be the quarterback for the team and will be responsible for setting up the pace and his teammates.
  • Kaito Williams (2019): The CSU East Bay signee will look to be the scoring threat with his sweet 3 point shot.
  • Other Notable Players: Marquis Hargrove, Xavion Brown, and Josh Williams
  • Rainer Beach Vikings
  • Marjon Beauchamp (2020): The #23 ranked player in the nation is an elite scorer with a deadly jump shot. A game that rembles Klay Thompson. Currently holds offers from practically every west coast school.
  • Jamon Kemp (2019): A elite defender that does a little bit of everything. Just like his pops Shawn Kemp, Jamon plays well above the rim. Currently holds offers from Washington State & University of San Diego.
  • Micah Monroe (2019): Super athletic wing that does all the little things. Played summer ball with Marjon and Jamon for the last 2 summers.
  • Kenny Curtis (2019): Maybe the X-factor of this game at only 5’8, he has a sweet 3 point shot with NBA range. Players may forget about him as they key in on Marjon and Jamon.
  • Other Notable Players: Naysean Baisey
  • Key Matchups/Notes:
  • Will Marcus Bagley & Marjon Beauchamp defend each other?
  • The winner of the rebounding battle wins the game.
  • Which role player will step up?

This game will be a classic and maybe the game of the year in Norcal.
