7. (8) Whitney Young (Chicago), 1-0Statement made against DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) on Saturday at the Chicago Elite Classic. The Dolphins thoroughly controlled the action against a 30-win team a year ago, getting 34 points and nine rebounds from 6-foot-10 junior center
Jahlil Okafor.
8. (10) Salesian (Richmond, Calif.), 1-0The Pride took care of Menlo (Atherton) 64-32 in their opener Saturday, getting a team-high 20 points from California-bound senior
Jabari Bird. A tough early test awaits this weekend at the Gridley Invitational, where Antelope, Bullard (Fresno), Newark Memorial and Sacramento would all love a crack at the defending state champs.
9. (9) Southwind (Memphis, Tenn.), 4-1The Jaguars stand pat despite an 89-73 loss to Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) over the weekend at the Marshall County Hoopfest. No shame in that, as Oak Hill has won 54 games in a row and is ranked No. 4 in the MaxPreps Academy Top 10.
