Mike Bibby is no longer coaching at Hillcrest, the national high school basketball team that was ranked No. 3 in the nation by USA Today last week, before losing to Prolific Prep and Hamilton Heights in the Hoophall West on Thursday and Saturday.
“Both parties mutually agreed to part ways,” Bibby said. “I wish nothing but the best for those kids.”
Bibby brought four Phoenix Shadow Mountain assistants with him after he got the job to lead the national high school team in October

The Hoophall West’s most anticipated prime time Saturday night matchup between Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) and Goodyear Millennium lived up to expectations for the sold out crowd at Scottsdale Chaparral.
Sierra Canyon (7-0) overpowered the Tigers (4-2) with fast breaks ended by skyrocketing dunks, and stellar outside shooting beyond the arc to win 76-66.
The Trailblazers senior shooting guard and Kentucky commit Brandon Boston, Jr. was named the game’s Most Valuable Player for his game-high 21 points, six rebounds and five assists

Dae Dae Hunter made a huge opening statement on Saturday night
On the first play of the first Open Division state football championship game, the senior tailback tore off a 71-yard run, and Chandler was on its way to a 42-35 victory over shell-shocked Scottsdale Saguaro at Arizona State’s Sun Devil Stadium.
“That was a statement, ‘We’re here for business,’ ” first-year Chandler head coach Rick Garretson said.
This was Chandler’s fourth consecutive state championship and fifth in six years. The others came in 6A, before the Arizona Interscholastic Association opened it up with an eight-team Open for the top schools among the big conferences (6A through 4A).

After all of the big plays Chandler made on both sides of the ball, the Wolves made a resounding statement that nobody can touch them this season, not even a team that came in with a 57-game winning streak against in-state competition

Devin Askew got the pass on a fast break, sized up five-star, 6-foot-11 forward Dylan Anderson, and rose up.
He flushed it down.
It’s a new Devin Askew. He’s always had athleticism, but this dunking prowess is not something the nation is accustomed to from the Chosen 25 point guard, listed at 6-foot-3.
“I could rim graze,” he said

Marietta (Georgia) football four-star quarterback Harrison Bailey has connected with five-star tight end Arik Gilbert consistently over the last three years. Like, well over 100 times for almost 30 touchdowns.
But on Friday night, the roles were flipped.
As the first half came to a close in the playoff game against Parkview (Lilburn, Georgia), Gilbert was the one to throw a touchdown pass and Bailey was on the receiving end.
It was Gilbert’s first completion of his career (he had two prior attempts) and Bailey’s first reception

In the O’Dea (Seattle) playoff win over Kinnewick on Nov. 30, K’Son Mika stepped into the starting rushing spot.
