How to watch: Cameron Boozer and No. 1 Columbus faces A.J. Dybantsa and No. 3 Prolific Prep in anticipated clash

The most highly-anticipated high school basketball game in the month of November features a battle of the top-ranked prospects in the Class of 2025 as A.J. Dybantsa leads National Top 10 No. 3 Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) into battle against Cameron Boozer and MaxPreps Top 25 No. 1 Columbus (Miami, Fla.).

Boozer is the reigning MaxPreps National Player of the Year after averaging 21.1 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game to lead the Explorers to their second consecutive Class 7A state title and a top 10 national ranking. 247Sports has him rated as the No. 2 prospect in the junior class.

Dybantsa recently took over the No. 1 ranking after reclassifying prior to the season. The 6-foot-9 wing led St. Sebastian's (Needham, Mass.) to a 26-2 record and the New England Preparatory Athletic Council Class A title game last season after averaging 19.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.

The mega-matchup is the first game of the season for Columbus. The Explorers begin the season as the team to beat in the MaxPreps Top 25 with four returning starters in top 20 junior Cayden Boozer, Princeton commit Malik Abdullahi and junior guard Benny Fragela alongside centerpiece Cameron Boozer. 

Notable transfers of Michigan State signee Jase Richardson and top 15 sophomore prospect Jaxon Richardson are expected to bolster the rotation in a major way.

Prolific Prep begins the season ranked behind powerhouse programs Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) and Link Academy (Branson, Mo.) with a revamped roster loaded with highly-regarded prospects including top 20 senior prospects Derrion Reid and Zoom Diallo along with top 40 Alabama signee Aiden Sherrell and four-star St. Mary's signee Mikey Lewis. The Crew are 6-0 to start the season.

Although top-ranked Class of 2026 prospect Tyran Stokes will notably be out of the highly-anticipated matchup due to injury, the starpower remains abundant for both teams.

Approximately one month ago, the teams matched up in a preseason exhibition at the Top Flight Invite where Columbus defeated Prolific Prep 83-61 behind 25 points, 16 rebounds and five assists from Cameron Boozer.
