Introduce Yourself to the Rising Stars in East Bay High School Hoop

Now that the dust has settled on the 2015-'16 high school basketball season, it's time to take a look ahead. Who will emerge as the one to watch among East Bay hoopers in 2017? There's a good chance he will come from the list of players below. 

This season did not quite produce the type of local blue chip recruit we saw in Ivan Rabb last year. It looked like Oscar Frayer of Moreau Catholic was well on his way to following Rabb to play for the Bears in Berkeley. However, the ultra-athletic wing de-committed from CAL and chose to take his talents to Grand Canyon University and play for Thunder Dan Majerle in the WAC. 

One can only hope the young guns on this list will continue to develop over the summer and when local colleges come calling, they choose to stay in The Bay.

“You can get pinned down there. I think that’s how most people drown at Mavericks. I’ve been there. I’ve had conversations with God in that same spot. No one even talks about the sharks. You couldn’t make a scarier big wave. Falling feels like hitting cement. Then the thrashing comes and you feel like King Kong’s got a hold of your feet, swinging you around like a rubber chicken.”

(Highlights) Miramonte Women's Basketball Beats Bishop O'Dowd For NCS 3-Peat

Over the weekend, the Miramonte women's basketball team won their third straight NCS title. Led by 25 points from McDonald's All-American Sabrina Ionescu, the Mats beat Bishop O'Dowd 82-67 at McKeon Pavilion. The undefeated (29-0) ladies from Miramonte will compete in the CIF State Tournament beginning on Friday when they host Brookside Christian of Stockton at 7pm. The #2 seed Mats will likely have to get through #1 seeded St. Mary's of Stockton in order to make the state final.
