The ABC Fall Basketball League will launch its first four-week fall session Sunday with a field of teams that includes three North Carolina state high school champions and Lamelo Ball’s new 1 of 1 Prep Academy.
Games will be played at Cox Mill High in Cabarrus County.
Ball, the Charlotte Hornets’ player who won NBA Rookie of the Year honors in the 2020-21 season, announced earlier this year that he was opening a sports academy for high school athletes.
Among teams competing are Weddington, which won the 3A public school state title last season; Cannon School, the private school 4A champion; and The Burlington School, which took the private school 2A title.
