Four powerhouse teams hoping to make their way through the bracket
To some, the Culligan City of Palms Classic has become the Montverde Academy Tournament. With four championship trophies in the last eight years, the Eagles once again will come to Fort Myers with a great chance to walk away with the title, just as they did in 2019. It's no wonder Monteverde (Monteverde, Fla.) is favored to repeat, with five of the top 40 seniors in the nation, according to Rivals.com, including No. 6 Dariq Whitehead and No. 15 Skyy Clark
 
However, 15 other teams, including three very strong contenders, are hoping to knock off the defending champs in the main bracket of the tournament. IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.), Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) and Milton High School (Alpharetta, Ga.) are likely to give Montverde a run for their money.

Oak Hill’s Chris Livingston hoping to be “the next LeBron”
Many say he is the best high school player to come out of Ohio since the great LeBron James— or at least the best to come out of their shared hometown of Akron. We’re talking about Oak Hill Academy’s (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) 6-6 senior Chris Livingston.
