Sacramento High School Coach Derek Swafford gets Jhonte Simpson # 3 motivated.

Sacramento High Schools’ Chris Avenant, # 15, gives dunking lessons as he goes up for the well earned 2 pointer. I give him a perfect score of 10 for the dunk and recovery.



Kramer Hagan, #4 – Capital Christian HS, guards Jhonte Simpson - #3 of Sacramento HS.



Shane Tapley ,#22, is Sacramento HS’s leading scorer.



Armond “Mondo” Armstead, Pleasant Grove high School – being tripled teamed by St-Mary’s HS of Stockton. When will they learn that they’re still 2 players short of even slowing him down. Armond’s off to USC to play football this fall and we’ll miss watching him play on the hard wood.
