Top five players: Cliff Alexander, Curie, F, So.; Kyle Davis, Hyde Park, G, Jr.; Devon Foster, Curie, G, Sr.; Darvell Harris, Dunbar, F, Sr.; Lamont Mims, Hyde Park, F, Sr.

Keep an eye on: Malcolm Hill-Bey, Curie, G, Sr.

Quote: “I’m tired of just winning the Red-Central. We want it all.” – Curie coach Mike Oliver
