From the Las Vegas Sun:
They were supposed to be the Bishop Gorman High basketball team’s new “Big Three.”
After the Gaels graduated a trio of top-100 recruits two seasons ago, 2015 classmates Nick Blair, Chase Jeter and Stephen Zimmerman were expected to emerge as the Nevada power’s new threesome of elite players.
Jeter and Zimmerman have lived up the billing, becoming five-star recruiting prospects and two of the best players on the court each game. Blair clearly is a step behind.
But that’s starting to change this season with the 6-foot-6 wing cracking the starting lineup and showing off his off-the-charts athleticism.
It’s because of Blair’s athleticism that Gorman won arguably its most significant game of the season, topping Findlay Prep 76-72 in overtime at the South Point Arena after Blair forced overtime with a buzzer-beating shot. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jan/25/gorman-finally-takes-down-findlay-prep-hot-start-b/
While Bishop Gorman recruits athletes in Las Vegas, Findlay prep isn't really a school. They recruit players from across the United States, are a 2 time defending national champion. The only students at the "school" are basketball players and they don't even have their own campus.
So, to have a Nevada team to defeat Findley is quite an accomplishment.
