Gaels scouting report: A shocking loss in last year's state playoffs should make the Gaels hungry to capture a fifth championship under Rice. Bishop Manogue ended Gorman's season last February in the 4A semifinals, then got hammered by 35 points in the title game.

"I think it was kind of a reality check for our guys, kind of humbling to lose in the way that we did," Rice said. "We had some big wins, beating Long Beach Poly, and were playing our best basketball of the season. Those things happen for a reason. The only thing we can do is learn from it and prepare."
And preparation is always a little easier when you have the nation's No. 1 prospect on the roster. Shabazz Muhammad will be the focal point for opposing defenses – and college recruiters as he is still undecided on his next-level destination. Rice doesn't expect the hype surrounding his senior star to be a distraction.
"He is such a humble kid. Off the court, he is just a soft-spoken, simple, nice kid," Rice said. "This has been going on for three years for him and his family has handled it so professionally."
Muhammad will be joined by a tall and talented frontline in Allen, Carter and Morant. And if that wasn't enough, the Gaels also welcome ballyhooed freshman Zimmerman, a legitimate 6-10 and likely growing.
"He's as skilled as any freshman that I've seen," Rice said of Zimmerman. "He plays really hard and could be one of our guys that's in there during crunch time."
Highlights of the schedule include back-to-back trips east for the City of Palms Classic and Beach Ball Classic.
DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.),
Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) and
Whitney Young (Chicago, Ill.) will also test the Gaels.
