The lineup of games on Day 2 of the  National High School Hoops Festival is filled with a lot of talent. Here's a look at some of the matchups to keep an eye on Sunday, December 8th:
 

10:45 aM - Takoma Academy (MD) vs McNamara (MD)

 

2020 forward Tyrae Washington is a new addition at Takoma Academy and he should play a role right away in the rotation. He joins the squad after spending time at MacDuffie School (MA). Washington should keep some attention on him with his ability as a scorer and defender at 6-foot-8. He's drawn some interest from some Division I college programs. 

David Brown III had quite the productive season at McDonogh School in 2018-19 and now finds himself at McNamara. He holds offers from Columbia, Stony Brook, Howard, Loyola (MD), Bryant and UMass-Lowell. Terrence Butler Jr. is a 6-foot-7 forward that should stand out as well. He's another new face at McNamara in the 2021 class with offers from Drexel and James Madison.


12:30 pM - National Christian (MD) vs First Love Academy (PA)

 

Jakai Robinson is a 2021 guard that's slowly climbed up the 2021 rankings with his skillset at National Christian. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, he's got quite the strength and length that allows him to play inside and out, defend and rebound. So far, he holds an offer from Florida. Then, there's 2020 big man Oumar Koureissi, who holds offers from Bryant, UMass, Stony Brook, Rhode Island and Towson. Jon Izemef is another big man to keep an eye on in the 2021 class as well.

For First Love, they'll be back once again, looking to put their prospects of D.J. Gordon (Penn State), Jett Roesing (Duquesne), Isaiah Wilson (Richmond), Mason Manning and Damanni Browne back to work against a tough local squad.


2:15 PM - Cornerstone Christian (TX) vs IMG Academy (FL)

 

Cornerstone Christian (TX) returns on Day 2 to face a stacked IMG Academy (FL) squad. Tre White, Jerrell Colbert, Jordan Wood and Christian Green will have their hands full in this one. It will certainly be a challenging contest for Cornerstone Christian as they face a top team in the nation.

IMG boasts a rotation led by Jaden Springer (Tennessee), Mark Williams (Duke), 2021 five-star Moussa Diabate, 2022 forward Brandon Huntley-Hatfield, and 2022 guard Jarace Walker. They've got a plethora of talent to work with over at IMG led by head coach Sean McAloon.
