Pac-10 signees to play in prep game

A handful of high school boys basketball stars headed to the Pac-10 Conference, one bound for Cal Poly and several others also on their way to Division I programs, will display their talents at Mott Gym on Sunday.

“This is a great opportunity to get a lot of this year’s standouts together for our local community that enjoys watching basketball, and to acknowledge them for their abilities as well as their commitments to respective programs,” game director Jon Sun said.

In the main event of the 1 Dream All-Star Classic, a Northern California squad will take the court against Southern California counterparts at 3:30 p.m.

Representing the northern contingent will be Justin Brown of Richmond’s Salesian High.

Brown, a 5-foot-11, 190-pounder called by The Sports Xchange a “strong, athletic point guard who can penetrate and play defense,” reportedly had been listed by NorCalPreps.com as one of the top five senior point guards in Northern California, and was one of three Cal Poly fall signees in 2007.

Headlining the southern roster figures to be Percy Miller, Jr. of Beverly Hills. Better known as the rapper Romeo (formerly Lil’ Romeo), Miller has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at USC.

He’ll be joined by Ribet’s Malik Story (who has committed to USC, according to Sun), Price’s Tyrese Breshers (Washington), Westchester’s Oscar Bellfield (UNLV), Taft’s Eugene Phelps (Long Beach State) and Westchester’s Jarred DuBois (Southern Methodist), among others.

Playing alongside Brown, among others, for the upstate group will be Modesto Christian’s D.J. Seeley (who has committed to Cal, Sun said), Archbishop Mitty’s Colin Chiverton (St. Mary’s), Antioch’s Tim Williams (St. Mary’s), William Brew (UCSB) of St. Mary’s, Weston Ranch’s James Nunnally (UCSB), Newark’s Chris Jones (Fresno State), Branson’s Oliver McNally (Harvard), Rio Americano’s Drake Uu (Hartford), Archbishop Mitty’s Enoch Andoh (Bucknell) and McClymonds’ Frank Otis (Southern Methodist).

Prior to the state contest will be games between the Northern Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County girls (12:30 p.m.) and boys (2 p.m.) all-stars.

“It will be great for them to play at Cal Poly – (Mott Gym) is such a great facility to be in,” Sun said. “All the kids selected really deserve the opportunity.”

Tickets are free for Cal Poly students with their Poly cards and $10 for adults.
