The Nike Peach Jam is finally upon us, and some of the brightest young stars in the high school game showed out yesterday in the opening- day games.
There were fourteen 20-point games, seven double-doubles, a nine steal game and believe it or not, someone was responsible for almost 40 percent of their team’s scoring in their opening game.
On a team level, we saw one double-digit halftime comeback, two 20-point wins and six teams scoring 80 or more points. Here’s a recap of some of the best performances from day one of the Peach Jam.
