7:30pm North Cobb Christian vs. Campbell

North Cobb Christian is off to a 7-1 start this season. Aside from a loss to Chaminade, a nationally renowned program, the Eagles have run through their opponents. Coach Greg Matta is riding the talent of a talented sophomore class. Wing Brock Bass Bonner leads the way with shot making and athleticism. Bonner notched a season high of 30 points and nine rebounds in their latest win over Union County. He is joined by fellow sophomore forward Xavier Butler who is a double-double machine. His notable game was a 28-point, 24 rebound outing over Ringgold. Watch for guards Grant Roblich and Isaiah Chandler to play big roles the rest of the season. And Jordan Wiseman and Will Russell have shown promise as well.

Coach James Gwynn has the Spartans off to a 6-2 start on the season. They pulled out an impressive overtime road win versus Chattahoochee at the beginning of the month. A trio of senior guards have led the way this season. Point guard Sharif Mosley provides shot making and ball handling. Senior guard Kaylan Robertson is a player with talent and promise. He is regularly one of the Spartans leading scorers. Add in the effort that Jaelen Cheaves routinely offers, and the Spartans are poised for big things this season.

6pm Chapel Hill vs. North Atlanta

The Panthers of Chapel Hill are off to a respectable 6-3 start to the season. Their wins include a victory over Canarsie (NY) at the TOC Classic and another over Lakeside-Dekalb at the Double Trouble Invitational. Senior guard CJ Geathers looks to be the key to the Panther offense. He is an athletic, slashing guard who can fill it up in the lane. He is joined in the back court by senior Christian McAllister who can fill up it with jumpers from the perimeter. Keep an eye out for Jasiah Devone and Breon Barnett who are also senior guards that have the experience and toughness necessary in this environment.

Krystal Wells has led the Warriors to a 9-3 start this season. Senior point guard Mason Sampson is a talented guard on the roster. He recently had a 26-point outing in a win over Alpharetta. He is joined by senior wings Mayson Baker and
