American Christian School proved once again that they are more than just a one-man team today at the PrimeTime Shootout.
Eagles junior guard Lamont Jones stole the spotlight from Tyreke Evans this afternoon in American Christian’s 73-48 win over Rancocas Valley of New Jersey. The Red Devils had been able to keep the game surprising close until Jones, a transfer from Manhattan’s Rice High and Louisville commit, took over. Jones hit six 3-pointers in the third quarter, highlighting a 25 point performance that earned him game MVP honors. Evans, the top-rated player in the TAKKLE.com Top-25 rankings, finished with only five points, but he was hardly missed. He’ll get a chance to redeem himself on Sunday when ACS takes on South Kent School of Connecticut.

Helen Cox High forward Greg Monroe is considered to be a perfect fit for John Thompson III’s Georgetown program, and he showed why today. The Louisiana big man 28 points and notched nine boards in the Cougars’ 62-58 win over Whitney Young of Chicago. He also displayed a deft passing touch for a big man, and was remarkably comfortable at the top of the key. He was able to pass well out of the high post to fellow big man Trevon Flowers down low, and those skills will be of great use in JTIII’s Princeton offense.
