Findlay College Prep is on the map! FCP came away from Southern California with a victory against 4th ranked South Kent and played tough against top ten competition. We went 1-2 at the Stoneridge Holiday Prep Classic but we feel very good because we played without one of our best players (Deividas Doulkys, ’08, 6’4 scorer, Lithuania). We lost to #9 St. Thomas More by 15, beat #4 South Kent by 6, and lost to #5 Brewster in a tight one on Sunday.

Rodney Haddix made the All-Tournament team averaging over 18 points and 6 rebounds a game but his heart was much bigger than his numbers. A great example of how he played was in the Brewster game where he dove for a ball and his shoulder popped out and he rocked it back into socket and continued on. He held Brewster's Creighton-bound P’Allen Stinnett to 3 points while he lead us with 24 points.

Hamid Ford averaged neary 13 points and 3 steals per game for the tournament. Senior Rony Tchatchoua came off an ankle injury to post 11.3 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals per game. Nedeljko Golubovic posted 7 ppg, 7.3 rpg. Junior center Brice Massamba put in 8 ppg, played tough against great post competition, took three charges, and even brought the ball up the court and started the offense. Sophomore Carlos "Yao" Lopez really emerged in the tournament. Versus South Kent he came off the bench for 9 points 4 rebounds and 3 blocks then followed that up with 17 pts, 8 rebs, and 7 blocks vs. Brewster Academy. He shot 64% for the tournament. Wouter Van Der Eng, Ricky Criado, and Ilija Djordjevic contributed key minutes in the tournament.

Up next is Durango High School on December 14 then a two game set vs. Hargrave Military Academy the 15ht and 16th.
