Hoop Fest addition ... big-time matchup

Steve Woodward, founder of Marshall County's Hoop Fest, has put together an additional game for Thursday, Dec. 4 that will match up teams that could be Nos. 1 and 2 in some preseason national rankings.

Oak Hill Academy and Duncanville (Texas) will square off at 7 p.m., moving back already-scheduled games between Jackson (Miss.) Provine and Newark (N.J.) St. Benedict's and Memphis Briarcrest and Homewood-Flossmoor from suburban Chicago.

Oak Hill will have its usual assortment of high-profile prospects, including widebody forward Keith "Tiny" Gallon. Duncanville has four Division I commitments, including two to play for Travis Ford at Oklahoma State and one apiece at Texas and Alabama.

Both teams will also play in the Saturday night session, Duncanville against Scott County — Kentucky's preseason No. 1 team with Kentucky commitment Dakotah Euton — and Oak Hill against Chicago Simeon.
