This one s a little bit different, from the rivalry that will soon rekindle a conference game to the sold-out Huntsman Center that will await the No. 14 team in the Associated Press Top 25.
It s early, but the Tigers pulled off arguably the biggest upset of the high school basketball season with Saturday s 75-73 win over Columbus (Miami, Fla.) at Holiday Hoopsgiving in Atlanta.
The inaugural day of the 5 For The Fight National Hoopfest featured a dominant performance from the Montverde Academy out of Florida as it convincingly beat Wasatch Academy from Utah, 88-53, in a game broadcast on ESPN+. Cooper Flagg, who recently reclassified to the Class of 2024 as the top-ranked prospect, stole the spotlight on Monday night. The Duke commit showcased his skills in a packed Pleasant Grove gym with an atmosphere filled with excitement.
Cooper Flagg is one of the most prized basketball prospects in the country and will be in Utah next week when Montverde Academy plays Wasatch Academy and American Fork High.
