“We are going to have 16 players that will be ranked in the top 150,” Phenom’s Jamie Shaw told WWAY. “We have guys who are committed to Power 5 schools throughout the country. College coaches will be recruiting these kids. It’s a national level event. The nation’s eyes will be on Wilmington, NC. 8 games a day for 4 days in a row. We are fortunate that we’re going to have 3 teams that are ranked in the nation’s top 50 teams in the country that are coming. Hamilton Heights out of Tennessee, Oldsmar Christian out of Florida and St. James out of Maryland. We’re going to have two separate 8 team brackets. 16 total teams. The brackets are not going to be an A bracket B bracket so it’s going to be equal brackets and we’re going to have two champions. ”
Kirk Angel is the New Hanover boys head basketball coach. “I don’t know if we can compete in these games,” Angel said. “For me some of my individual players if they play well in the tournament then it will help them get recruited.”
