Although we talked about him in our last report, he is worth mentioning again – especially because his 25 foot jump shot at the buzzer finally finished off a pesky Clovis East squad and propelled his Trojans into tonight’s semi-final contest versus host Bishop Gorman.
Brandon Coleman 6’7” 2010 Bishop McNamara (Forestville MD)
PF’s dominant play over San Diego Hoover and 6’8” Angelo Chol in a quarter-final match-up (scored 21 points including several monster dunks down the stretch) was the major reason the Mustangs were able to hold-off Hoover 45-42.
Jonathan Lloyd 5’9” 2010 Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
Jet-quick playmaker’s 27 points helped the Gaels hold off a pesky La Verne Lutheran squad to advance to Saturday’s finals.
Grant Jerrett 6’8” 2012 La Verne Lutheran (La Verne CA)
Jerrett had a monster game in the semi-finals – scoring 31 points (19/20 from the free-throw line) and grabbing 20 boards but his Trojans came up a short 74-66 to Bishop Gorman.
Deividas Pukis 6’5” 2011 Christian Life Center (Humble TX)
Lights-out shooter poured in 25 points (including three “3’s) in CLC’s 82-70 quarter-final win over Foothill (Henderson NV).
Robert Hunter 5’11” 2010 Bishop Manogue (Reno NV)
Strong point guard is a tough defender and dependable floor general.
Marcus Thornton 6’3” 2011 Bishop McNamara (Forestville MD)
Slithering wing-guard knows how to make the nets tingle from beyond the 3-point line.
Chris Coleman 6’9” 2011 Christian Life Center (Humble TX)
Massive postman is a force on the boards.
Xavier Grimble 6’6” 2010 Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
USC-bound tight-end is a physical forward that makes his impact felt at both ends of the floor.
Dakarai White 6’6” 2012 Bishop Manogue (Reno NV)
Strong combo-forward can finish above the rim and his upside is worth paying attention to.
Robert Sandoval 6’0” 2010 Clovis East (Fresno CA)
Heady point guard has an impressive feel for the game and is a pin-point passer.
Ben Carter 6’7” 2012 Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
Agile PF attacks the glass with regularity and can score in traffic.
Xavier Jones 6’7” 2011 La Verne Lutheran (La Verne CA)
Assertive power-forward is an excellent student (3.7 GPA).
Dame Ndiaye 6’5” 2011 Hoover (San Diego CA)
Strong scoring swingman had 25 points in Hoover’s 1st round win over Threatt Academy. While Angelo Chol gets most of Hoover’s headlines, Ndiaye may be as valuable a player to Ollie Goulston’s program.
Ronnie Stanley 6’7” 2012 Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
Physical rebounder gives maximum effort. Excellent football prospect.
Nick Colletta 6’4” 2013 La Verne Lutheran (La Verne CA)

Jay Miller 6’0” 2013 La Verne Lutheran (La Verne CA)
Promising combo-guard is a tenacious defender.
Notes from press row: Former NBA guard Sedale Threatt is coaching a high school team from Australia called Threatt Academy and doing an impressive job coaching his boys from “Down Under”…….Although his team is not playing in this event, former Chaffey JC (Chaffey CA) and Sequioas JC (Visalia CA) coach George Tarkanian (son of coaching legend Jerry Tarkanian) is now the head coach of Bonanza HS (Las Vegas NV).
