Dec. 19-23 vs. TBD — Chick-fil-A Classic
Headlined by the 5-star backcourt combination Jalen Green and Nimari Burnett gives Prolific Prep its most talented roster and highest expectations in the program's five-year history.
Alongside Green, a high-flying, high-scoring transfer from San Joaquin Memorial (Fresno), and Burnett are big men Hawkins and Anselem, who provide a strong inside presence. Jones, a talented junior wing, rounds out the starting five.
Prolific Prep takes on a loaded schedule featured by showdowns with No. 6 Huntington Prep, No. 11 La Lumiere, No. 25 Hillcrest Prep and a trip to the
Chick-fil-A Classic.
While the Golden State features plenty of competition up and down the border, the Crew is prohibited from playing any schools under California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rule. That's just about all of them.
No matter, the Crew, with a deep and versatile lineup that features loads of length and shooters, will take their game nationally.
A lot of expectations rest on the shoulders of first-year head coach Joey Fuca, a San Ramon Valley (Danville) graduate who played for legendary coach John Raynor. Fuca's new Crew squad appears to have all the talent necessary to compete for a national championship.
Prolific Prep possess a roster full of outstanding talent, including two 5-star recruits.
