Pair of local players named to Jordan Brand Classic game in Chicago

Bishop Gorman Defeats Palo Verde in the Sunset Regional Championship

L.E. Baskow

Bishop Gorman player Stephen Zimmerman (33) makes a big dunk versus Palo Verde during the Sunset Regional championship high school basketball game on Friday, February, 20, 2015.

Bishop Gorman High’s Stephen Zimmerman and Findlay Prep’s Allonzo Trier will have another all-star game on their resumes.

Both players will play in the Jordan Brand Classic next month at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The game is on Friday, April 15, and will air at 5 p.m. Las Vegas time on ESPN2.

Zimmerman, who is UNLV’s top recruiting priority but still has five schools on his list, and Trier, an Arizona signee, were also named to this year’s McDonald’s All-American game, which will be played at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 1, at Chicago’s United Center and air on ESPNU. Gorman teammate Chase Jeter was named to the McDonald’s 12-man West roster but was left off the 13-man Jordan Brand West team.

Last year, Findlay Prep teammates Rashad Vaughn and Kelly Oubre, now freshmen at UNLV and Kansas, respectively, were the local participants in the Jordan Brand Classic.
