This year was no different, with No. 1 ranked Oak Hill Academy attending, along with several other regional powerhouses, and a full slate of games featuring several Division I prospects and committed players. Coaches were spotted from UNC, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and several other area schools to watch the day’s action, along with multiple basketball scouts such as the legendary Bob Gibbons. MORE >
