Las Vegas, NV - Bishop Gorman High School, the host of the Tarkanian Classic, took on in-state rival Mater Dei High School in the platinum division semi-final game. Great first half performances by Charles O'Bannon Jr and Christian Popoola Jr. saw Gorman hit on 8 3-point baskets and take a commanding 41-31 lead over our FAB 50 No. 18 Mater Dei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Led by Spencer Freedman's 19 second half points, Mater Dei chipped away at the lead. The Monarchs took the lead with under a minute to play but, PG Christian Popoola's 2 free throws tied the game (had 16 points in second half). A last effort by Mater Dei failed and the teams went to OT. In OT Mater Dei, took over with great usage of the running clock to seal the win.<\/p>\n

Charles O'Bannon Jr finished with 17 pts\/ 11 rebounds\/6 assists<\/p>\n

Christian Popoola Jr finished with 16pts<\/p>\n

Spencer Freedman finished with 29pts<\/p>\n
