Minn., Champlin Park entered the national rankings at No. 25 after a 79-74 win
over then-No. 25 Apple Valley, Minn., to win the Granite City Classic in St.
Cloud, Minn. Senior guard J.T. Gibson (Nebraska-Omaha) led Champlin Park with 38
points. ... Blue chip senior guard Malik Newman (uncommitted) poured in 44
points to lift regionally-ranked Jackson, Miss., Callaway to an 83-62 rout of

the single-game scoring record at the 34th annual Beach Ball Classic in Myrtle
Beach, S.C. Kennard (Duke) had 52 points in a 96-73 rout of Mullins, S.C.,
breaking the previous record of 48 points set in 1995 by former NBA guard Mike
Bibby for Phoenix, Shadow Mountain.
