Circle the date:

The Warriors will play games in nine states this season and as many as 10 against nationally ranked opponents. No. 6 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) will provide a big test at the Hoophall West event in Arizona next month and a meeting with No. 9 Whitney Young (Chicago) will be one of the most highly anticipated matchups at the Spalding Hoophall Classic in Massachusetts.

Oak Hill Academy no doubt has Feb. 22 circled on the calendar – that's when the Warriors will get another crack at Quality Education Academy (Winston-Salem, N.C.) after a 20-point loss earlier this month.

Tournament time:

OHA won the Chick-fil-A Classic in 2012 en route to a 44-0 record and national title. The Warriors will return to Columbia, S.C., for the event this December. Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville, Fla.), St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) and Wesleyan Christian Academy (High Point, N.C.) will be among the contenders there.
