The Jordan Holiday Classic will feature several top players, including Dynamic Prep with the "Dynamic Duo" of Jermaine O'Neal Jr. and Jaden Toombs. They have been red hot so far and will face Bishop McNamara on Saturday and then Lawrence Woodmere on Sunday.
Another top team to watch out for would be Long Island Lutheran, with Kiyan Anthony finally returning after almost a month out with an injury. They will take on the Columbus Explorers, who will play all three days. Whether the Explorers would sweep is still up to their opponents.
