]]>The post Ramsey, Mobley take home 2019 Ballislife All-American Game MVP Honors appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>The event featured many of the country's top senior basketball players in a high-level game that saw Team Elite edge out Team Future, 123-122, at the Long Beach Entertainment & Convention Center.
While the game itself, the dunk contest and the three-point contest were the main reason why fans flooded the venue, it was the HoopCon aspect of the event that set it apart from other All-American experiences.
The perimeter of the site was filled with vendors, allowing fans to buy, sell and trade sneakers, and cop some some swag from companies like Ballislife, Eastbay and McDavid. And if those fans were brave enough, they could go up against the guys from Venice Basketball League in a variety of hoop competitions and 3-on-3 games.
The on-court festivities began with the 3-point contest won by uncommitted guard Boogie Ellis out of Mission Bay high school in San Diego.
The dunk contest came down to a slam-off between Duke-bound wing Cassius Stanley of Sierra Canyon and Arizona-signee Terry Armstrong of Bella Vista Prep. Armstrong took home the crown as the day's best dunker with a variety of explosive slams, one of his most impressive coming when he caught a lob from Isaiah Mobley while at the same time jumping over the 6-foot-10 forward.
It didn't take much time for the one-on-one battles to take form once the game started as Ellis and Tre Mann (The Villages Charter, FL) went shot-for-shot in the first five minutes. Mann ran off 10 quick points to Boogie's six, each knocking down a couple of trey's in the process.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair, but Ohio State-bound forward E.J. Liddell helped Team Elite take a four-point lead into the second quarter with a one-handed dunk through contact and completed the old-fashioned three point play at the charity stripe.
Elite came out on fire in the second quarter behind a couple of highlight reel dunks from Texas Tech-signee Jahmi'us Ramsey (Duncanville, TX) and Niven Glover (Oak Ridge, FL), and a handful of nifty passes from Trendon Watford (Mountain Brook, AL), to take a 42-28 lead early in the period.
Local Southern California standouts Isaiah Mobley (Rancho Christian) and Jaime Jaquez, Jr. (Camarillo) came alive for Team Future over the last five minutes of the second, cutting the deficit to eight, 62-54, heading into halftime.
Team Future got within six of Elite early in the third quarter on back-to-back buckets from Gonzaga-bound forward Drew Timme (J.J. Pearce, TX) and kept that momentum going throughout as a 3-pointer from Ellis cut Future's deficit to three, 88-85, with 2:10 left in the third.
Team Elite took a 100-95 lead into the fourth quarter after Ramsey threw down a dunk on a lob to himself off the backboard.
Future pulled to within two of Elite, 106-104, on a dunk by Ellis with 7:45 to play, but Elite again created space with a transition layup from Watford and a mid-range jumper from Armstrong to take a 114-108 lead with 5:49 to go.
The defense and intensity picked up in the last minute and a half as a top of the key 3-pointer from Mobley cut a six point Future deficit in half with 1:04 to play.
Jovan Blacksher (Shadow Mountain, AZ) was fouled with eight seconds left and sank both free throws to bring Future to within one of Elite, 123-122, but Future couldn't force the turnover needed to get the final look it needed.
Ramsey (Elite) and Mobley (Future) took home game MVP honors for their respective teams.

Nation's top junior prospect Evan Mobley leads SoCal team to 122-116 victory in inaugural Bay vs. LA Showcase Game presented by Ballislife played at Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco. Event also features Youtube celebrity game highlighted by Jesser, who takes home MVP honors after leading 2HYPE to a 84-68 win over Off Ballers.
By Ronnie Flores, Ballislife Grassroots Editor
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – In the inaugural 2HYPE + Bay vs. LA Showcase Basketball Games presented by Ballislife, the Northern California team had a talented and motivated club, not to mentioned a YouTube-driven pro-Bay crowd, in its attempt to knock off the favored Southern California club. What it didn't have, however, was 6-foot-11 junior Evan Mobley on its side, and his dynamic play ultimately turned out to be the deciding factor as L.A. rolled to a 122-116 victory over the Bay before over 1,000 fans at historic Kezar Pavilion near Golden Gate Park.
Mobley, from Rancho Christian (Temecula, Calif.), capped off a spectacular summer with 25 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead the L.A. team to a wire-to-wire victory following the Bay's first made basket to open the scoring. It was a performance typical of what Mobley did in big games this summer on the grassroots circuit to elevate himself to the point where many consider him the best long-term prospect currently in the high school basketball ranks.
The SoCal club led 12-2 behind the inside play of Mobley and his older brother, USC-bound 6-foot-9 senior Isaiah Mobley (Rancho Christian, Temecula, Calif.), who finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists. L.A. went up 61-33 at one point in the first half, but the Bay closed the first half strong, including a 15-4 run, to trail 65-50 at halftime.
The Bay's game effort was led by 6-foot-2 junior Robby Beasley of Dublin (Calif.) and 6-foot-3 senior Nimari Burnett of Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.). L.A. once again opened up the game in the second half, taking a 92-69 lead, but behind a crowd loudly cheering its every basket, the Bay put together another big rally. The Bay used a 21-4 run to cut its deficit to six (96-90), but L.A. hit enough timely shots and the NorCal club couldn't come up with enough paint stops to get over the hump.
Evan Mobley was a relative easy MVP choice for the winning L.A. club while Beasley edged Burnett for Bay team MVP. Beasley came in with a great approach towards practice and it carried over to the game, as he gave great effort on both sides of the ball, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two steals. Burnett knocked down two early 3-pointers to help the Bay get back in the game and finished with a team-high 20 points, eight rebounds and two rebounds. The Bay's Keshad Johnson, a bouncy 6-foot-7 senior wing from Envision Academy (Oakland, Calif.), drew rave reviews from his peers and finished with 16 points and six rebounds. Will Chaverin, a 6-foot-4 senior small forward from Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.), added 12 points and six rebounds for the Bay. Coleman Hawkins, a 6-foot-9 forward who will transfer from Antelope (Calif.) to Prolific Prep (Napa, Calif.) for his junior season, added 12 points, six rebounds and two assists.
Rounding out the stat sheet for the Bay was the 10 points and five rebounds from 5-foot-11 junior point guard Bryce Monroe from Sacred Heart Cathedral (San Francisco, Calif.) while 6-foot-9 junior center Jhaylon Martinez of Vanden (Fairfield, Calif.) had eight points and seven rebounds. Six-foot-8 Senior forward Isaiah Hawthorne of Tracy (Calif.) added six points and six rebounds, 6-foot-4 senior guard Jonah Crumpton-Murray of Buchanan (Clovis, Calif.) had five points, 6-foot-1 junior point guard Xavion Brown of Sheldon (Sacramento, Calif.) finished with five points and three assists while 6-foot-5 junior forward Tyler Brinkman of Salesian (Richmond, Calif.) had two points, six rebounds and two assists.
For the L.A. team Johnny Juzang, a 6-foot-7 junior forward from Harvard-Westlake (North Hollywood, Calif.), hit three 3-pointers and finished with 20 points. Oregon State-bound 6-foot-3 senior guard Jarod Lucas of Los Altos (Hacienda Heights, Calif.) and a travel ball teammate of the Mobleys and Juzang on the Compton Magic adidas Gauntlet championship team, added 12 points with two three-pointers and four rebounds. Rounding out the stat sheet for L.A. was 6-foot-3 senior guard Jarred Hyder of Damien (La Verne, Calif.) with 11 points with two 3-pointers and five rebounds, USC-bound 6-foot-8 senior forward Max Agbonkpolo of Santa Margarita (Calif.) scored 11 points, Jaden Shackelford, a 6-foot-3 senior guard from Hesperia (Calif.), had 11 points and five rebounds, UCLA-bound 6-foot-6 senior forward Jake Kyman of Santa Margarita (Calif.) had 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Montana-bound 6-foot-3 senior guard Josh Vazquez of Bishop Montgomery (Torrance, Calif.) added two points and six assists.
Despite the star-studded talent in the high school game, the crowd was even more hyped up for the YouTube celebrity game and fittingly it was the biggest star of team 2HYPE that earned MVP honors for his victorious team.
Jesser, who is also known as JesserTheLazer, finished with 18 points to lead 2HYPE to a 84-68 win over the Off Baller$. Jesser, with the crowed chanting "MVP, MVP" every time he touched the ball, stole the show with a spin move in the key that rocked his defender and followed that fancy scoring bucket with a 3-pointer from five feet behind the NBA 3-point line on 2HYPE's next possession. The bonafide YouTube star finished with 18 points.
The celebrity game MVP for Off Baller$ was DAX, who doubles as a skilled basketball player and rapper. He finished with 21 points, including three 3-pointers. He also won the Youtube celebrity 3-point contest, making 17 of 25 shots from behind the arc. Lucas won the high school portion of the 3-point contest, besting Kyman.
The YT celebrity game's leading scorer was Jeron Smith of Off Ballers, who made a variety of shots to finish with 25 points. Zack and Cash Nasty added 15 and 13 points, respectively, for 2HYPE.
