Summer Heat: New C-J Transfer, OSU Commit: "We want to Play Cupps & Law;"...Who is Lighting Up Summer AAU Circuit?.. C-J Makin Moves in Baseball

 With high school literally ending, here are the hottest topics on the High School side in the Miami Valley at the end of May. 

(1) OSU Commit Headed to C-J Pops Off At Cupps, Law 

George Washington III, one of three up and coming ballers coming from Texas, will be transferring to C-J this year, per the reports.

Washington, a junior PG, who has already committed to Ohio State, came in blazing after a recent interview. 

Washington was asked about facing Cupps and Law, and said, "How good is Cupps and Centerville? I want to see myself." We want to play them." He's the best? We will see." 

While Washington is a top 50 player and a beast, a lot of guys have "Challenged Cupps" and to no avail. 

While Cupps is one thing, Law is another, as they also mentioned his name in the convo as well.

Be careful young bull, because to be honest? Law and Cupps are rated much lower than they should in those ESPN rankings. 

That C-J vs Centerville game should be amazing this season. Or C-J and Wayne. And while George is the oldest of the 3 brothers, make no mistake; they all can play and will for the Eagles as well. They will join star G Evan Dickey after Jonathan Powell is heading to Centerville to play with the Elks. 

(2) Top Players in AAU Circuit - So Far 

After looking around the circuit, there are a few names popping up with regularity, which makes you wonder about the upcoming season already. Here are a few names to take notes on: 

Juan Cranford - Wayne 

While Rice is on the EYBL and other elite ciruits, Cranford has been dominating the competition all over, most recently in Indianapolis. 

After exploding in the OHSAA Tournament,  he has kept the momentum going through the summer. Expect a bevy of coaches to start flocking into Wayne HS to check out the lefty combo guard with a sniper stroke. 

Tiyah Parker - West Carrollton 

After helping lead the Pirates to their first OHSAA playoff wins in over 20 years, the fab freshman hit the gym and circuit running. She has dominated in the last few events, most recently at athe Knoxville Knockout  and at the Prep Hoops Buckeye Breakdown,.who held their annual event.

Parker has taken it up a level, and as a sophomore she will be asked to do more, but after some MVP showings this summer, she is headed towards a breakout season for a very talented and on the rise Pirates girls team, who already have the likes of sensational sophomore -turned Junior Selena Frost. With that backcourt, it will get scary this season for the Miami Valley League in 22-23.

Dayjuan Anderson - Ponitz 

Anderson has made waves, but not for what u think. The nephew of the late great Dwight Anderson has gotten back to the turf and us already getting offers, as Grand Valley State offered the dynamic hooper. 

For Football that is. 

When he was a freshman Anderson was a WR, and now that he is standing 6'5 and can get up with the best of em and has physically starting to bulk up? 

Could be a breakout season for Anderson and the Ponitz football team. 

Anderson is one of the front runners as the City League Player of the Year in basketball, so this year will get very interesting for the dynamic 2-sport stud.

(3) OHSAA Baseball Playoffs Gets Serious as C-J, Butler Still Rollin

The Chaminade Eagles, 2 -Time State champs, are still alive as they held off Bellbrook 9-8 in a wild one. A walk off homer sent the Eagle nation into a fury, as they will play this weekend as well.

Butler  will face Lebanon today as the Aviators are in the OHSAA D-1 Top 10 State Rankings. A walk-off home run over a tough Centerville team have lifted the co-champs of the MVL this season.
